"TradeRef" Reduces Costs, Time

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 4/1/1999

Tower Group International has developed TradeRef, a software program created to replace hard-copy tariffs and reference volumes that are costly and updated infrequently.

TradeRef can quickly classify goods, check explanatory notes, research trade rulings, find trade actions, apply rules of origin, and more. This software includes thousands of pages and dozens of volumes of tariff and trade information on one CD-ROM or multiple 3.5-inch diskettes. In addition, U.S. exporters can use TradeRef to access statistical reporting numbers for Shippers' Export Declarations.

Tower Group International updates TradeRef on a quarterly basis. Users can choose from four modules--U.S. Tariff, Canadian Tariff, U.S. Customs Rulings, and NAFTA Rules of Origin. FOR INFORMATION CIRCLE 135
