We understand your customs challenges

With a supply chain covering 190 markets, it’s not unusual for customs processes to be local, regional and fragmented. Highly complex supply chains mean brokers can often be in-country, restricting your ability to optimise compliance and drive efficiencies globally.

Even now, in-house customs teams can largely be using manual processes. Without digitalisation, there’s no end-to-end visibility, which can lead to delays and over payments.

The answer is to standardise the way you do customs. And we’ll support you on the journey to implement it.

The power of customs optimisation: Unlocking hidden supply chain savings

When dealing with customs, businesses often focus on the bare minimum compliance. However, a thorough understanding of the customs landscape – from the application of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to the identification of commodity codes and preferable trade routes – can offer numerous opportunities to reduce fines, prevent delays, and cut related costs.

Read the article to learn more about the Maersk Customs Hub and how it provides operational excellence, trade monetisation and regional alignment to identify customs strategies that can be successfully integrated into your supply chain operations.

Case study: Clarios

As a global energy storage company, Clarios was experiencing fragmented, inefficient brokerage and opaque visibility, leading to unacceptably high levels of internal administration.

By partnering with the Maersk Customs Hub, Clarios gained full visibility across its customs operations in every market. Compliance rates are up, while harmonisedtrade reporting means less internal admin, freeing up the business to focus on customs strategy.

And the cost savings are significant. Duty optimisation saved a six figure sum and supply chain optimisation is saving tens of thousands of dollars a year in logistics costs.
