Aura
One call covering the three critical areas of duty & tax calculation, prohibited & restricted goods screening and denied parties screening.
What is it?
Aura combines three of Hurricane’s core cross-border services in one call.
A single call covers the critical areas of duty & tax calculation, prohibited & restricted goods screening and denied parties screening.
Delivered Duty Paid Solution
These API services can be accessed individually or via a single combined API call.
Hurricane’s Aura API can be seamlessly integrated into any front end or back end.
A front-end integration allows carriers, retailers and marketplaces to offer their clients a landed cost calculation or Delivered Duty Paid solution (DDP), and also offers the possibility to flag prohibited and restricted goods and/or denied parties before shipping or even before the order is completed.
What does it do?
Aura provides the following solutions:
Manage international taxes and duties

Why do you need it?
Regulatory events including the EU’s abolition of the VAT exemption on low-value items, the introduction of the EU’s Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) and the Import Control System 2 (ICS2) mean that accurate duty and tax calculations and rigorous compliance screening are requirements to succeed in cross-border eCommerce trade.
