Global Trade Management

Global Trade Content

Global trade practice requires companies to have access to and utilize the current trade data available. There are many types of trade data available with various sources, both nationally and internationally. Failure to utilize the most up-to-date data can result in inaccurate screenings which may lead to significant fines and penalties, delays, revocation of trade privileges, and lost revenues. Examples of trade content include, but are not limited to:

  • Denied Party Screening Lists
  • Harmonized System and Classification Information
  • Tariff and Duty Rates
  • Binding Rules and Regulations
  • Free Trade Agreement Information

Global Trade Management provides an integration solution for automatically downloading much of this data directly from Descartes. For more information on this topic, please refer to “Global Trade Content” in on-line Help.

Customs Filing

U.S. export shipments require an export declaration to be filed with the U.S. Census. The export declaration is represented as EEI (Electronic Export Information) and is filed with the U.S. Census. The Oracle Global Trade Cloud Service supports filing with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Automated Export System (AES) interface via Descarte’s Global Logistics Network (GLN) system. For more details on this topic, please refer to the Filing with AES via Descartes’s GLN System section in the Customs Filing Integration Guide.
