Eurora and SkyNet partnership unlocks “value for e-commerce retailers”
Eurora Solutions (Eurora), the AI/ML (artificial intelligence/machine learning) backed cross-border trade compliance platform, launches a partnership with SkyNet Worldwide Express (SkyNet), the world’s largest independently owned courier company.
The partnership enables SkyNet to offer e-commerce retailers a streamlined solution for customs and import regulations, making cross-border trade simpler and more efficient.
As part of an initial rollout, SkyNet will offer Eurora’s automated product classification (HS) code* allocation and Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) solutions in the United Kingdom, with plans to expand globally across all 26 territories, where SkyNet operates in the future. The IOSS service automates VAT registration and reporting when shipping goods to the European Union (EU), while Eurora‘s AI engine streamlines HS code allocation. With over 5,000 HS codes, accurate allocation is essential to avoid incorrect duties and taxes as well as potential fines from authorities.
