Docs • HS codes • risk control

International trade, HS codes, and Incoterms

  • HS code mapping with case examples and variance handling
  • Risk scenarios: who pays when things go wrong across Incoterms

Permits • exemptions • audit-ready

Duty-free, single window, and compliance

We run mock submissions, exemption letters, and bonded moves so your team knows how to keep approvals flowing and avoid rework.

  • Eligibility checks and exemption request drafting
  • Single-window data hygiene, role setup, and status chasing
  • Audit trail building: what to keep, how to label, who signs

Sea • air • bonded transit

Logistics execution: China → Addis flagship lane

  • Tax exposure mapping and variance explanations
