Importer Challenges
While moving goods across borders is traditionally complex and costly, the increased
risks associated with non-compliance are creating additional pressure for today’s
importers. Successful importers utilize technology to better manage the movement
of cargo, create accurate documentation, and execute financial transactions. All
multi-national trade processes - logistics, regulatory, financial - must be
coordinated and all supply chain partners working in collaboration, if goods are
to reach their ultimate destination in a timely, secure, and cost-effective manner.
Integrated Solution for Importers - IMPORTERQW
Designed to address importers’ unique requirements, all import related components
and Internet services are integrated into one global solution for importers.
ImporterQW simplifies and automates the entire import process, end-to-end.
To further reduce data redundancy, the integrated import solution incorporates
information sharing capabilities with export, freight forwarding, and warehousing
components as well. From the time that the commercial invoice is initiated, processes
are coordinated across trading partners to rapidly and securely import products from
foreign countries. The importer’s solution monitors and ensures compliance with local
laws, takes advantage of preferential programs, and advises users on anticipated costs
and missing opportunities.

Import Trade Management:

Automates critical import activities such as valuation including assists, royalties,
etc., classification, duty management, compliance, security screening, licensing,
landed cost calculation, customs clearance, document generation and distribution in
multiple formats, and electronic filing. Close management of these functions results
in reduced shipment delays, taxes, fees, and fines - all while speeding product
movement across international borders. The all-inclusive database of pre-classified
products is an integral part of the solution.

to aggregate data and events and present customizable, Internet-accessible reports
across the supply chain.
