Case Study: GlobalPost streamlines international shipping compliance with Avalara

GlobalPost delivers a helping hand to international shippers

GlobalPost, part of the Auctane family of shipping services, helps small and medium-sized businesses ship internationally, but many first-time exporters struggle with cross-border compliance, customs duties, and finding the right HS tariff codes. To reduce the friction that can lead to rejected packages, surprise costs, and abandoned international shipping, GlobalPost turned to Avalara and its tariff code classification capabilities.

Avalara implemented Avalara Self-Serve Tariff Code Classification on the GlobalPost website, allowing merchants to search product descriptions and quickly find the correct universal or country-specific HS codes. The solution integrates with GlobalPost’s duty tax calculator, making the process seamless and helping shippers improve accuracy, speed, and compliance; as a result, merchants can better understand shipping costs upfront and reduce customs-related rejections.
