Lenton Group and Hurricane sign a cross-border e-commerce partnership

Lenton Group, the global logistics and transport provider, has announced a partnership with Hurricane Commerce.

Lenton Group has selected Hurricane’s Duty and Tax calculator to support the launch of its Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) solution and its commitment to a seamless cross-border trade experience for its e-commerce customers.

The Duty and Tax calculator is available through Lenton Group’s Hub-Ez, a one-stop logistics platform for online sellers, marketplaces and others involved in cross-border e-commerce.

Establishing the partnership with Hong Kong-headquartered Lenton Group will form an integral part of Hurricane’s expansion into Asia Pacific.

Lenton Group’s Alex Langslow said: “We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Hurricane Commerce, allowing all our customers access to a leading platform for calculating duties and taxes for international shipments around the world.

“The Duty and Tax calculator is available on our online portal, Hub-Ez, and will be integrated into many of our upcoming products.

“e-commerce is a fast-growing and rapidly evolving part of the Lenton Group business and partnering with best-in-class technology companies like Hurricane is an important part of our strategy.”

Martyn Noble, CEO of Hurricane Commerce, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with the Lenton Group and for our solutions to be playing a critical role in ensuring the seamless cross-border trade of their customers’ international shipments.

“Major events like Brexit, the US STOP Act, ICS2 and EU VAT reforms mean that complete and accurate data on e-commerce parcels has never been more important than it is today.

“Hurricane’s leading-edge technology solutions have been specifically designed to simplify the complex and ensure frictionless cross-border trade.”
