Savvy companies realize that Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) can be a source of significant cost savings. The pain of administering an FTA program, however, is not always worth the perceived gain for importers that do not have automated trade agreement compliance. Importers must:
Maintain rules of origin for target FTAs
Solicit suppliers and maintain valid certificates
Qualify complex bills-of-material to legally claim preferential duty
Amber Road's Trade Agreement Management Software integrates your supply base to collect key trade agreement compliance information and generate certificates of origin. By integrating with your ERP solution, we process each component of the Bill of Material (BOM) with the Rules of Origin and available certifications to qualify treatment for a given FTA.
