Air Business has announced a strategic partnership with Hurricane Commerce, a provider of cross-border data solutions, already trusted, it says, by numerous global logistics providers to help navigate the increasing complexity of international trade. This collaboration enhances Air Business’s global e-commerce logistics offering by integrating Hurricane's technology into Air Business’s logistics services, added the company.
The company says the partnership will enable them to offer their customers Hurricane's data solutions connected to the Kona API. Hurricane’s Kona API simplifies cross-border trade by ensuring that every shipment has complete and accurate data. This includes duty and tax calculations, restricted goods screening, as well as denied parties checks, all within a single API call. This integration reduces customs delays and improves operational efficiency for Air Business customers, the company continued.
Global trade data and regulations are becoming more stringent, with non-compliance leading to delays, fines, additional costs and increased scrutiny, says Air Business. By integrating Hurricane Commerce’s data compliance solutions, Air Business says it ensures its customers meet key regulatory requirements, such as the EU’s ICS2 and the US Entry Type 86, ensuring smooth, compliant and efficient customs clearance for its customers.
According to Air Business the collaboration brings the following benefits:
- Enhanced Data Accuracy: Ensuring complete and accurate data for seamless cross-border transactions.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlining processes to save time and reduce costs.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meeting global regulatory requirements to avoid penalties and delays.
- Strategic Growth: Enabling customers to expand their global reach with confidence.
Andy Haylar, global e-commerce and technology director at Air Business, said: "We are thrilled to partner with Hurricane Commerce to bring their world-class data solutions to our customers. This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing the best possible service and ensuring compliance with international trade regulations. Together, we are poised to drive significant growth and innovation in the global e-Commerce logistics sector."
Martyn Noble, co-founder, executive chairman and CEO of Hurricane Commerce, added: “Cross-border trade has never been more complex, and businesses require scalable, robust and compliant solutions to stay ahead of evolving regulations. By working with Air Business, we make it easier for them to trade internationally confidently, ensuring their shipments are compliant, cost-effective, and delivered without disruption.”
