Exports are simple; pack the box, complete the paperwork, deliver to the carrier, and bill the client. Oh, those were the days, but sadly it has become way more complicated.
ECCN determination, denied party screening, correct AES transactions or even ensuring the export paperwork has all the necessary accurate information, attention to detail is essential in minimizing compliance risk.
GTK’s Export Management suite of products is an end-to-end export compliance and management set of tools to assisting in; ECCN determination, AES filing, export documentation and integrated/standalone Denied Party Screening.
Importing can be a complex process, but it does not have to be cumbersome. GTK’s Import Management product suite focuses on areas critical to driving compliance and efficiencies.
These tools provide the base, processing, auditing, and structure to manage all facets of the imports process. Too often importers manage their operations through spreadsheets, multiple products or even home-grown IT tools. While these do the job, they tend to be limited in efficiency, automation, and are usually tied to specific resources.
Moving your Import Management to a set of tools geared to support your business needs increases the efficiency of data usage and allows for automation. More importantly, it brings your business’s data to your fingertips.
You run a complicated global business. In your experience, you know that management of trade agreements can be tricky.
GTK’s trade agreement tool focuses on managing the entire trade agreement lifecycle; BOM qualification, access to latest trade agreement rules of origin, management of certificate requests, product analysis for trade agreement application, validation management, and centralize electronic certificate retention.
Move away from emails, manual tracking, and inefficient certificate distribution into a streamlined controllable process.
FTZ is used to help control costs and cash flow. Run the numbers. The cost savings can be substantial. Some of the myths that keep people committing to a FTZ: Audits, regulatory issues, red tape, tracking, and reporting come up a lot, but with GTK FTZ software these are managed throughout the lifecycle of the product.
FTZ’s don’t fit my business model. Not true, Zones can be used by almost all importing businesses; manufacturing, B2C, B2B, kitting, cross dock, etc. FTZ’s are costly. A big myth. FTZ’s can help free up cash flow by deferring or eliminating duties, provide MPF savings, take advantage of tariff inversions and even exempt imported goods from state/local inventory taxes.
GTK’s FTZ solution automates your zone-related data and transactions through reconciling your inventory BoM data, integration with entry platforms and your partners to reduce data entry.
C-TPAT, AEO, PIP; the program is of no consequence – Once you join, you need to maintain the requirements of the program. Pushing this deeper into your supply chain, these programs serve to drive compliance within your organization, protecting your brand.
GTK’s Global Supply Chain Security and Compliance tool makes managing solicitations, vendor compliance, partners, and security programs efficient, and straightforward. We love Excel, but in the long run, it is not a sustainable tool for managing something as important as a government security program, driving accountability, and securing your supply chain.
