SAP GTS Overview

Main components of SAP GTS

SAP GTS relies on three main components to offer us all of the described functions:

·         SAP Compliance Management: This Module aimed at performing the necessary checks for activities related to the import/export processes. For example, controlling sanctions against certain countries or partners (SPL), control of embargoes, verification of partners in documents, management of export and import licenses, etc. The goal is to avoid penalties or sanctions for violating current legislation.

·         SAP Custom Management: This allows us to classify products (transferred from the ERP), with the different international classifications like HTS Code, Commodity code etc. Calculation of duties and taxes, as well as communication services with the electronic customs offices in different countries are handled by this module. It also supports special customs processes such as Bonded Warehouse & Free Trade Zone. Printing of mandatory forms (certificates of origin, packing list, etc.), managed with Adobe Form.
