Case Study: Premium Paint and Coatings Company saves millions in preferential duties with e2open

Premium Paint and Coatings Company saves millions in preferential duties with e2open

The Premium Paint and Coatings Company, an iconic American manufacturer, faced challenges leveraging the USMCA trade agreement for imports into Canada. They lacked an efficient process for obtaining supplier documentation to prove goods qualified for preferential duties, which caused them to pre-pay duties and tie up working capital. The company engaged e2open to address this issue.

e2open streamlined and automated the manufacturer's interactions with its suppliers and Canadian Customs authorities. This solution allowed Premium Paint and Coatings Company to efficiently prove qualification for reduced or eliminated duties upfront. As a result, they freed up millions of dollars in working capital, reduced compliance risks, and accelerated their speed-to-market for goods crossing the border.
