About Us

We are brilliant at the boring – translating the complex into the simple. In fact, it’s one of our main selling points. Hurricane software was made to integrate with any eCommerce site so seamlessly you won’t even know it’s there.
We don’t like surprises which means you won’t get any either. No selling to blacklisted folk, no unexpected compliance slip-ups and no shipping errors. It’s all brilliantly boring.
Our RESTful API will leave you feeling exactly that - rested and reassured about every cross-border eCommerce transaction. Built to be user-friendly and lightweight, it blends smoothly into your existing tech, streamlining the customs and regulatory process into one tool.

...and What We Do

Product Classification

Customs regulations change faster than a nudist at the wrong beach. Thanks to our advanced API you no longer have to worry about that.

Denied Parties Screening

A bruised avocado is the ultimate form of deceit. There’s no way to tell until it’s too late. Some bad guys are just as sneaky. Luckily our API has access to global denied party lists, meaning no bad guys (or disappointing avocados).

Product Restriction Screening

No matter how much you want to send your buddy in the US a paintball gun as wedding present, both sides of customs won’t allow it. Our API is that sensible friend that talks you out of the silly idea. Too many Lithium-ion batteries in one shipment – our API notifies and will select the right transport method. You’ll thank us later.

Duties and Tax Estimations

Tax is the e-commerce equivalent of brushing your teeth. It’s important and you’ll get in serious trouble if you avoid it.
