Free Trade Agreement Management
More than 500 notified free trade agreements (FTAs) around the world offer great opportunities for businesses to import and export goods without the costs of tariffs, quota management or other red tape. However, this does not mean that processes for shipping goods within these agreements will be straightforward.
For example, when dealing with imports, there are still a range of factors to be considered, even when taking advantage of FTA arrangements. Issues such as calculation of the origin of goods and solicitation of supplier declarations can still pose problems for businesses. To address these issues, it pays off to have effective FTA software in place to manage the process from end to end.
This is where MIC's Origin Calculation System (MIC OCS) supports you! This advanced free trade agreement management software provides the necessary tools for optimized FTA management along the entire process for a multitude of FTAs worldwide. Starting with automated solicitation of supplier declarations using an innovative supplier web portal, followed by an optimized calculation of the origin of goods based on multi-level bills of materials, resulting in the creation of the appropriate certificate of origin documentation, all on an ongoing basis.

Customs Tariff and Export Control Classification
Correct classification is the most fundamental task in international trade and can be a difficult undertaking. Without accurate classifications, it is not possible to achieve the correct customs duty calculation or preferential treatment determination.
It is common that people in different divisions of a company often make varying decisions about customs tariff and export control classifications. This usually causes duplicative effort and inconsistent results for the same product. Furthermore, in an international environment, with multiple national tariffs, commodity lists, languages, complex interpretive notes and preferential duty rates, classification is quite difficult to manage. This leads to inconsistencies which are “red flags” to authorities, resulting in costly fines and penalties. To avoid this, a central and standardized product classification process is required.
MIC's Central Classification System (MIC CCS) offers a cost-effective solution for the determination, assignment and validation of customs tariff classifications and export control classifications according to customs tariffs and export control commodity lists. Additionally, MIC CCS contains all necessary trade content in a user-friendly format. Most importantly, the software allows clearly structured control of the entire product classification process at a global level.

Data Analytics
Business intelligence has been a core capability in customs management for many years. It allows companies to analyze their complex supply chains, monitor the compliance of their business activities, and identify significant cost saving opportunities through process optimizations and the avoidance of penalties caused by incorrect fillings. Traditionally, this required the use of either data warehouse solutions or a fixed set of custom-developed reports or queries; the first option being quite cost-intensive, the latter quite inflexible. Advances in analytics technology and the establishment of Software as a Service allows MIC to use cutting-edge tools and technology in the global trade management field and offer an analytics product as part of our GTM software suite.
By providing such insights, the MIC Data Analytics & Visualization solution aims to enable businesses to interpret data in a smarter way, make better decisions and optimize their worldwide customs processes. It also helps businesses to identify new opportunities for optimization.
The MIC Data Analytics stack is optimized for large data volumes as well as fast and responsive insight into data.
