Duty Management Software Identifies Duty Savings and Automates Deferrals and Refunds
Decreasing tariffs and customs duties can significantly reduce costs, but most companies have difficulty manually qualifying product for free trade agreements (FTAs) and duty savings programs. E2open Duty Management gives you a streamlined process for automatically identifying relevant duty, tax, and tariff reduction programs, while fulfilling all documentation requirements with minimal manual effort.
Improve margins through trade programs
Missed opportunities to reduce, eliminate, or defer costs
Free trade agreements (FTA) carry notable cost savings, but qualifying products for each relevant FTA and managing the filing process requires expert knowledge most companies don’t have in-house. To use FTAs, importers must solicit product information from supply chain partners and determine which products conform to the rules of origin for each trade agreement. Similarly, customs warehouses and free-trade zones (FTZ) help importers defer or reclaim their duty payments, but the programs are challenging to administer manually, and outsourcing can quickly outweigh the potential financial benefits.
