Currently there is no data source from which up-to-date trade content such as export control commodity lists, exchange rates, code lists (e.g. customs offices), customs tariffs and much more information can be centrally obtained in appropriate quality on a global scale. It is common that you may have to consult many different data sources individually and manually in order to collect the necessary information for the individual transaction. This costs time and money. 

However, even if you already have a high-quality data source this still does not mean that it’s regularly updated as anticipated. Often there will be frequent changes which are hard to manage. This may result in violations of the law and consequences to your company.

In order to overcome such difficulties, we offer a Global Trade Content Service (GTCS), suitable to companies in any industry.  GTCS is a melting pot for global trade content from renowned and trusted suppliers of trade content (national authorities, as well as companies) with whom MIC maintains non-exclusive partnerships. Therefore, our customers can use the data sources they really need. MIC can help you in the selection of the appropriate data source to ensure the highest quality trade content. GTCS reduces the effort to maintain current trade content available and supports you in the compliance with constantly changing customs and trade regulations.
