 Exporting is a privilege, not a right. U.S. companies
must ensure that all their exports are conducted legally.
Violate U.S. export regulations and you and you're company
could be fined, banned from future exporting, or even
sent to jail.
To safeguard your company from these penalties
you should:
- Properly classify your products with the correct
Schedule B or Harmonized Tariff Codes as well as determine
whether or not your product has an Export Control Classification
Number (ECCN).
- Screen your products against the U.S. Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) to determine if they require an export
license.
- Screen all the parties in your export transactions
against the government’s numerous Restricted
Parties lists to make sure you're not shipping to someone
you shouldn’t be.
Sound difficult? It doesn't have to be. Shipping Solutions
offers a variety of easy and affordable compliance solutions
for your company.
Online Compliance - Main Screen
Online Export Compliance Screening
If
your company is like most export companies, the biggest
challenge to implementing proper export controls is
finding an easy way to integrate them into your export
process. If your export staff can’t easily check
a customer against the Restricted Party lists, for
example, it may not get done. That’s especially
true if the export compliance process substantially
delays the shipping process.
That’s why Shipping
Solutions has created a menu of online export compliance
tools that make the compliance process as easy as visiting
a website. And because your export compliance needs may
differ from what other companies need, we’ve made
our menu of tools à la
carte, so you can subscribe to only those services you
actually need.
Product
Classification - Our
online Product Classification tool makes it easier for
you and your company to identify your products’ proper
Schedule B or Harmonized Schedule (HS) numbers that are
required on your export documents. In addition, this
tool searches the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
to see if the government identifies your product as a
controlled item and helps you determine the proper Export
Control Classification Number (ECCN) required for export
license determination.
Export Controls - Before
you export your goods to another country, you need to
determine whether or not you must first get an export
license based on your product classification and the
destination country. This online screening tool will
tell you just that plus provide assistance to help you
apply for an export license or other export control document
if required.
Trade Party Screening - The
U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) prohibit
trade with specific individuals, companies, institutions
and organizations. Instead of publishing all these names
in a single list, each government department and agency
with jurisdiction over exports publishes their own list,
which means there are more than 10 lists to check! By
using our online screening tool, you can check all the
U.S. lists—as
well as the United Nations list, European Union list,
Japanese list and Canadian list—at one time and
in just seconds.
Online Import Compliance Screening
If
your company is involved in importing in addition to
exporting, Shipping Solutions also provides online compliance
tools that will help you comply with current U.S. import
regulations.
Import Controls - The U.S. government’s
import regulations impose import
quotas, licenses and certificates
on certain goods. Our Import Controls
tool identifies any import controls
that may exist for your products
and/or the countries from which
they are originating and provides
information concerning the support documentation needed
to receive an import license or
other control documents.
Landed Cost Calculator - Before
you can accurately determine the best country to source
a product, you need to know the final cost of delivering
that product to your warehouse or other destination including
all import duties, taxes and other government charges.
In addition to providing that detail, our Landed Cost
Calculator will also warn you if anti-dumping duties
or countervailing duties may apply for a specific product. Our
Calculator even allows you to simultaneously compare
products imported from up to four different countries
so you can quickly compare costs.
