Import/Export Compliance
The U.S. Government is increasingly auditing companies involved in the global trade of
goods and services. Whether they're shipping from the USA or from a foreign entity
governed by different laws and regulations, the result of these audits frequently has
a direct and profound negative impact on the bottom line of companies that have not
invested in their internal controls and dedicated the necessary resources. In recent
years governments around the world have been under increasing pressure to raise revenues,
therefore audits, sanctions and penalties are being used with more and more frequency
than ever before, placing additional pressure on companies to perfect their internal
processes in order to avoid increased scrutiny. Less than perfect compliance will
affect your business tremendously and tarnish your corporate image. POHorizon™ helps
your company to stay in compliance by tracking all of the required documentation for
your imports and exports including: ECCN, HTS, CCATS, License information, Country of
Origin and AES filing information. PO Horizon can be used to run your internal audits
and help your company to minimize its liability.
Document retention is simple with POHorizon™. Document retention is a crucial piece of import/export regulations,
as most regulations require companies to retain documents for at least five years. In
addition, government agencies will often conduct audits and expect you to produce all
of your records at the drop of a hat. With POHorizon™ you have the power to:
- Upload your documents and shipment details
- Index large document files to easily find the exact document you need
- Search by PO number, date, destination country and more
- Report function lets you conduct internal audits and manage your documentation process
