CargoWise’s International Trade Agreement Compliance functionality helps logistics providers align their operations with complicated trade agreements, including NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), and EU trade frameworks. This technology automates the verification of whether shipments adhere to the qualifying rules of origin and documentation criteria imposed by these trade agreements. Businesses that ensure compliance can benefit from lower tariffs, expedited customs processing, and avoidance of penalties.

CargoWise makes trade compliance easier by cross-referencing shipping data with agreement-specific rules. This includes verifying product classifications, provenance, and duty exemptions. When enabled, this feature aids in the maintenance of up-to-date records, simplifies documentation checks, and ensures that logistics operations remain in sync with the changing international trade environment. For global trade enterprises, our compliance module not only protects operations from costly errors but also contributes to more competitive pricing by utilizing legal obligation benefits.
