Client

Importer of industrial construction components.

Challenge

The importer had a comprehensive book of over 50,000 individual products requiring classification, with new products consistently added. The precision and complexity of the industrial construction industry necessitated full compliance and proper tracking of all products. The broad range of products meant entries would be complex and extensive. In addition, the client was serving many U.S. customers, often with urgent needs. Therefore, it was paramount to have entries done compliantly and cleared quickly.

Solution
