Incoterms Built into Every Transaction

Incoterms define who is responsible for freight, insurance, and risk at each stage of international shipping. InboundShipments includes incoterms as a standard field on purchase orders and shipments, so the terms of trade are always documented and visible.

  • Helps your team understand cost responsibility at each stage of transit
  • Consistent incoterm tracking across all your international orders

  • Document types are categorized for easy retrieval and organization

HTS Codes and UN LOCODEs for Global Compliance

Accurate classification is essential for international trade. InboundShipments stores HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) codes on your item catalog for customs classification and duty calculation. Locations throughout the system use UN LOCODEs for standardized international port and place identification.

  • HTS codes stored on item records for consistent customs classification
  • UN LOCODEs used for origin, destination, and transshipment locations
  • Standardized location codes reduce errors in customs filings and documentation
  • Item-level HTS data carries through from catalog to PO to customs documentation

Why Teams Choose InboundShipments for International Logistics

Handle the unique challenges of cross-border procurement with purpose-built tools.

1

Manage global procurement without currency confusion

When you buy in CNY, pay freight in USD, and handle customs duties in the destination currency, you need a system that tracks each cost in its native currency. InboundShipments does this across POs, invoices, and fee records.

2

Keep customs documents organized and accessible

International shipments require BOLs, commercial invoices, packing slips, ISF filings, and more. Instead of searching through email attachments and shared drives, store everything on the shipment record where your team and customs broker can find it.

3

Reduce customs classification errors with stored HTS codes

By maintaining HTS codes in your item catalog, you ensure consistent classification every time a product is shipped internationally. This reduces the risk of misclassification, duty penalties, and customs delays.

4

Standardize locations with UN LOCODEs

UN LOCODEs provide a universal way to identify ports, airports, and inland locations worldwide. InboundShipments uses this standard so there is no ambiguity about where containers are loaded, transshipped, or discharged.

5

Track AI-extracted invoice data for international charges

InboundShipments uses the Claude API for AI-powered invoice extraction. Upload a freight or customs invoice, and the system automatically extracts charges, fee types, amounts, and currencies -- handling the complexity of international billing documents.
