"Customs compliance is a critical component of global trade, and expanding our capabilities in this area is essential to supporting our customers in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. By strengthening our expertise and bringing in Mike, we are taking the necessary steps to build solutions that enhance efficiency, streamline processes, and drive long-term improvements in Customs operations. His deep understanding of compliance and system development will play a key role in shaping our approach as we continue to innovate and expand our capabilities," said Bryn Heimbeck, President and Co-Founder of Trade Tech.

Trade Tech is working toward a more integrated approach to Customs Entry, aligning duty classification with Security Filings to create a streamlined process. By capturing shipment data before departure, this approach would allow participants to shift their focus to clearance during transit rather than after arrival, reducing delays and improving operational efficiency.

Trade Tech continues to focus on developing solutions that optimize cargo movement and enhance collaboration between logistics providers, Customs authorities, and other key stakeholders. With expanded expertise and technology-driven solutions, Trade Tech is committed to creating a more connected and efficient global supply chain.
