Like Oprah and her “Oprah’s favorite things” I believe in sharing great tools and valuable products that make sense and solve a need. Customs Info is one of those products. If you are in the business of international trade compliance and do not subscribe to Customs Info then you are truly missing out on being a rockstar in your company. Heck, even if they only offered their online and searchable explanatory notes I’d be happy but WAIT THERE’S SO MUCH MORE!!!
The only global trade content company focused on trade application content. We do not sell software, brokerage services or move freight. We focus on global trade content that makes your existing solutions work better. Utilizing our network of global trade sources, CUSTOMS Info enables our clients to increase supply chain velocity and decrease global duty spending. (from their website, http://www.customsinfo.com/)
Why I HEART Customs Info…They offer webinars. Their next webinar is on July 22nd all about 10 + 2. They are also constantly adding value to their system. Current example is their release of other government agency (OGA) indicators to their online HTSUS which is a huge help in providing visibility to the trade! They have current and applicable services such as their Gender & Age Discrimiation Duty Refund Calculator. Finally, they offer FREE training! “…With 50,000 more rulings than CROSS and free Explanatory Notes from the WCO, no one with a license to CUSTOMS Info should be using CROSS. Want to increase your efficiency? Schedule a training class today.”
Now, if they could just develop electronic sticky notes for their electronic HTSUS so that I could still use my old school notes approach to marking up my Tariff! Wouldn’t it be great if you could just log in and your profile would maintain all your notes until you modify them?! This would certainly solve the tedious task of “updating your Tariff” book going page by page and trying to figure out which notes to keep and which to toss. Customs Info guys, if you are reading this, I really think there is something there… 
Oh, and contrary to what you might think…I did not receive any kick-backs for this glowing recommendation!
