Hurricane Commerce and AEB (International) have agreed a strategic partnership to provide a complete cross-border eCommerce solution by working together to provide efficient, high speed and accurate data validation for customs clearance.
AEB offers cloud-based global trade software to remove the barriers of trading across customs borders and controls. This includes a full customs platform providing direct filing for export and import declarations and access to an integrated network of customs brokers with automated data exchanges via plug-ins, APIs or file uploads, or manual entry.
Hurricane is the cross-border data specialist providing AI-driven, real-time data solutions covering the areas of data enhancement, duty and tax calculation, prohibited and restricted goods screening and denied parties screening.
Founded in 2016, the data company has a growing portfolio of customers around the world including Emirates Post, Australia Post, Royal Mail, SEKO, An Post, THG and Evri.
High-speed data solutions
Martyn Noble, CEO of Hurricane Commerce, said: “This partnership makes total sense, especially for high-volume eCommerce customers who will benefit from the high-speed data solutions provided jointly by Hurricane and AEB. We are looking forward to working closely with the team at AEB to identify appropriate customer opportunities where the combination of our respective services can be most beneficial.”
He stressed: “Regulatory events in the last 18 months including Brexit, the EU’s abolition of the VAT exemption on low value goods, the introduction of the EU’s Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) and the greater enforcement of the US STOP Act, have meant that complete, accurate and compliant data is now a must-have for anyone wanting to succeed in global eCommerce.
“Harnessing data to streamline and automate the cross-border eCommerce journey is vital in today’s highly regulated landscape.”
Best-in-class solutions
Geoff Taylor, Managing Director of AEB (International), said: “AEB is committed to providing our customers with the best-in-class cross-border eCommerce solution.
“The collaboration with Hurricane Commerce, a data specialist, ensures that both our businesses continue to be at the cutting edge of meeting the requirements of the cross-border eCommerce marketplace. Together our solution will enable frictionless cross-border trade.”
