Compliance: Navigating International Trade Regulations with TradeSocial
The TradeSocial platform is designed to provide traders with the tools and information they need to ensure compliant transactions across borders. While TradeSocial simplifies the process, it's crucial to understand the key compliance areas involved in international trade.
TradeSocial helps you manage and understand the following critical compliance aspects:
Certificate of Origin (COO):
- Determining COO Requirements: A Certificate of Origin is a crucial document that verifies the country where your goods were produced. Many countries and their trading partners require a COO for customs clearance and preferential tariff treatment.
- Managing COO Documentation: TradeSocial assists you in understanding the requirements for obtaining a COO from the relevant governmental authorities (e.g., Chambers of Commerce) and managing this document within your shipment records.
TradeSocial provides tools and information to assist you in navigating international trade compliance. However, it is your responsibility to ensure full compliance with all applicable export and import laws and regulations in your country and your target markets. We recommend consulting with legal and customs professionals for specific guidance related to your business and products.
Export License & Exporter of Record (EOR):
- Understanding Export Licenses: Depending on the nature of your goods, their destination, and country-specific export control regulations, you may require an export license. TradeSocial provides guidance and resources to help you determine if a license is necessary and directs you to the relevant governmental authorities and information portals (e.g., Ministry of Commerce, Export Promotion Bureau).
- Exporter of Record (EOR): When exporting from your region, your business acts as the EOR, responsible for ensuring compliance with all country-specific export regulations and documentation requirements. TradeSocial helps you manage this documentation and provides insights into your obligations.
