Prohibited and Restricted Goods Screening
When moving cross-border, certain goods are subject to prohibitions, restrictions or licensing requirements . Failure to identify and comply with these controls can result in seized shipments, fines, delays and reputational damage. Whether this is the US CBP CPSC and PGA requirements, or the fact that alcohol based perfumes can't be shipped to Saudi Arabia. Hurricane enables organisations to identify prohibited and restricted goods before shipment, allowing issues to be resolved early and trade to proceed with confidence.
Solutions | Prohibited and Restricted Goods ScreeningComply with Customs Regulations Before Goods Move
When goods are subject to restrictions, it is the responsibility of the seller, buyer or distributor to obtain the correct permissions, licences or approvals before export, import or transport.
Failure to comply can result in goods being seized or destroyed, significant financial penalties and, in severe cases, criminal prosecution.
Hurricane helps organisations identify restricted goods early, reducing risk and avoiding costly disruption at the border.
