CargoWise’s Trade Compliance Automation tool guarantees that international shipments fulfill all regulatory and legal standards before, during, and after transportation. In the complicated world of global logistics, complying with trade laws, customs rules, embargoes, and sanctions is crucial to avoiding delays, penalties, and reputational harm. This automation eliminates the need for human inspections by incorporating compliance requirements directly into operational workflows, allowing logistics companies to identify difficulties early on and reliably transfer cargo across borders.

CargoWise automates compliance by confirming Harmonized System (HS) codes, screening trade partners against worldwide forbidden party lists, identifying embargoed nations, maintaining permits and licenses, and verifying paperwork, including commercial invoices and certificates of origin. The solution uses live databases and specified business rules to execute checks in real time and alerts users if a compliance risk is found. This integrated compliance approach lowers the risk of human mistakes, increases processing efficiency, and guarantees that due diligence is documented for audits. Businesses improve operational integrity, speed up customs clearance, and create confidence with international suppliers by automating trade compliance processes.
