Is Your Business Tech Ready to Scale Global Trade Operations? Here’s How Cebean Inc. Can Help

In today’s fast-moving and highly regulated trade environment, businesses engaged in cross-border operations face growing complexity. Managing customs, ensuring compliance with sanctions and embargoes, and staying up to date with evolving trade regulations are no longer optional—they are vital to risk management and operational success.

At Cebean Inc., we help businesses navigate these challenges by conducting tailored assessments of their global trade processes. Our goal is to identify gaps, reduce inefficiencies, and ensure your operations are scalable, secure, and compliant. In many cases, our assessments lead to the recommendation of adopting global trade services (GTS) technology—a category of software designed to manage the critical functions of international trade in a centralized and automated way.

Why Consider Global Trade Services Technology?

Companies that rely on manual tracking, disconnected systems, or outdated tools often struggle with compliance risks, delays, and missed opportunities for savings. GTS solutions provide an integrated framework to manage global trade in real-time, improve supply chain visibility, and ensure adherence to international laws and agreements.

While not every organization may require a full-featured trade system, many stand to benefit significantly from adopting such platforms—especially as they grow or enter new markets.

Core Functions Typically Found in GTS Platforms

When we conduct a global trade readiness assessment, we analyze whether your business would benefit from digitalizing and consolidating key trade activities, including:

1. Customs Management
Digitally manage import/export declarations, automate document preparation, and align your customs processes with global standards.

2. Compliance Management
Support internal policies and legal requirements by enabling real-time checks against trade regulations, including dual-use controls and export restrictions.

3. Sanctions & Restricted Party Screening
Ensure business partners and transactions are not in violation of global sanction lists by screening automatically against updated regulatory data.

4. Embargo Enforcement
Help prevent accidental trade with embargoed countries or regions by setting up system-based checkpoints aligned with foreign policy regulations.

5. Product Classification
Assign and manage accurate tariff codes (e.g., HS codes) for goods to avoid penalties and speed up customs processing.

6. Preference & Origin Management
Support trade agreement benefits by managing certificates of origin and validating product eligibility for preferential duty rates.

7. Audit Trails & Documentation
Maintain a clear record of trade transactions, documentation, and decisions—key for audits and regulatory reviews.
