I our business is increasingl sourcing,manuacturing, and distributing goods

on a worldwide basis, oure not alonein tring to balance te incredible oppor-tunities tis aords wit te man cal-lenges tat come wit global trade. Newregulations and enorcement tactics,luctuating transportation costs, com-plex cross-border regulations, and ex-tensive iling and documentation re-quirements combine to make globaltrade inerentl risk and volatile. At tesame time, te growing bod o newregulations, e-iling mandates, ree trade

agreements, and penalties and ines ornoncompliance steadil add to te com-plexit and risk o international trade.

For man companies, participatingin preerential trade programs, suc aste Nort American Free Trade Agree-ment (NAFTA) and European Union (EU)trade agreements, is essential to gain-ing and maintaining a competitive edge.

But i our compan relies on manual,paper-based processes to manage par-ticipation and demonstrate te eligibilito products or reduced or zero taris,it can be an incredibl time-consumingand expensive task.

improve conditions tat directl aectte private sectors abilit to export.
