MIC will provide the following software modules for Zalando:
- MIC-CUST® Import & Export + NCTS for DE & CH & NO: MIC’s customs filing solution enables Zalando to automatically create import and export declarations as well as to calculate duties and taxes (MIC-CUST® Import & Export). Additionally, the software allows for a direct data exchange with electronic customs declaration systems of national customs authorities. Moreover, the installation of MIC NCTS facilitates the management of the entire electronic transit process. This means that the company does not only benefit from time savings through the electronic handling of the entire shipping process, but also from a decreased financial burden.
- MIC-CUST® GTDC: MIC's Global Trade Data Chain (MIC-CUST® GTDC) software enables the automatic preparation of import customs declarations for the destination market through data conversion of the related export customs declarations. This can be achieved with a single electronic data transfer of export data from Zalando‘s ERP system to MIC-CUST®.
- MIC CCS | CTC for DE & CH & NO: MIC‘s Central Classification System (CCS) increases the automation level in determining correct customs tariff classifications for products through intelligent algorithms. The module stores, classifies and validates products according to national customs tariffs lists. Furthermore, customs tariff content for each country will be regularly and automatically updated in MIC CCS through MICs Global Trade Content Service (GTCS).
- MIC DPS: The denied party screening software enables screening against sanctions lists based on a configurable screening algorithm and configurable screening profiles. Besides that, MIC DPS allows screening against black lists, white lists, and positive lists and additionally enables the determination of stop words as well as keywords. The software solution reviews Zalando’s dataset and sends an email notification in case of a match with data from the sanctions list.
We are looking forward to a successful long-term partnership with Zalando!
