TradeBeam Introduces Duty Rate Calculator for Management of Global Tariff Rates
Offers up-to-date and future global duty rate information for error free planning and significant cost savings
SAN MATEO, Calif. – March 24, 2009 – TradeBeam, the leader in SaaS-based global trade management solutions (GTM), today launched the Duty Rate Calculator, a software solution for management of global tariff rates. Utilizing the Duty Rate Calculator, businesses can quickly obtain current general and preferential, as well as future duty rates. The software collects global regulatory information to create the most comprehensive and up-to-date trade content – allowing businesses to accurately project for their financial and operational planning without the risk of human error.
TradeBeam’s Duty Rate Calculator helps businesses simplify their duty rate determination processes, thereby maximizing savings and enabling them to make more accurate sourcing decisions. Leveraging global trade content sourced by an in-house team of experts, the Duty Rate Calculator offers advanced query functionality of world trade regulatory information from various government agencies.
“Our global trade customers continuously review their sourcing options in order to gain a competitive advantage. Identifying the most beneficial option from a duty rate perspective is a key component. The complexity of different countries’ duty rates, however, can be a real challenge if you do not have access to the right tools,” said Graham R. F. Napier, CEO of TradeBeam. “In addition to identifying the best current rate, our Duty Rate Calculator can access the right data for businesses to plan ahead. It aggregates and structures the data into a usable format for “what-if” analysis, providing an easy and useful tool for our customers and a quick return on investment.”
