Hurricane Global Trade Ecosystem
Hurricane’s Global Trade Ecosystem (GTE) is our award winning cart to customs cross-border modular solution, where you keep full control of every element in the chain including: duties and taxes calculation, collection and payment to authorities, product and person screening, consignment compliance, customs clearance, even transportation orchestration. New trade lanes become modular configuration not development, allowing you to grow services internationally from the same platform.
Products | Hurricane Global Trade EcosystemWhat the Ecosystem Does
Hurricane GTE ensures that every cross-border consignment’s data is handled once, correctly, and then orchestrated across all the systems that need it. GTE comes with its own pre-configured providers, or you can bring your own with your contracts, your rates and payments. Whatever you choose, you remain fully in control.

Why the Ecosystem Exists
Global trade becomes slow and risks increase when fragmented systems, don’t work well together. GTE removes these barriers.

What We Screen Products Against.
GTE leverages over 300 man years of trade compliance intelligence. A huge part of this is a deep understanding of the import, export and transport requirements for all nations globally. There are requirements published by nations and trading blocs that tell you implicitly what those requirements are.
For those countries that don’t list them implicitly, we have Hurricane’s own codes for import, export and also uniquely transport restrictions that affect you consignments.
Below are a selection of the published lists we screen for.
Products | Hurricane Global Trade Ecosystem
US CBP, CPSC and PGA Import Requirements
US Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) Codes
EU Export Control Number (ECN)
EU Tariff Footnote Controls (Y&C) Codes
UK Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFF)
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
Whereever you are shipping goods, be assured Hurricane has your compliance covered.
