The integration gives postal operators access to Hurricane’s AI-driven data enhancement technology, ensuring that shipments are compliant with customs regulations to reduce delays and streamline the movement of goods across borders.
The partnership aligns with regulatory requirements including the European Union’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2) and the US STOP Act.
Postal operators will benefit from enhanced data accuracy, reducing customs clearance time, ensuring security and improving customer satisfaction.
Mark Woodcock, Director of Postal Development at Hurricane Commerce, says, “We are thrilled to have reached this milestone with the UPU to bring our cutting-edge technology to postal operators around the world. This integration with CDS will help posts meet the increasing demands of cross-border trade, ensuring faster deliveries, lower costs and a better customer experience for businesses and consumers alike.”
David Spottiswood, Co-Founder of Hurricane Commerce, adds, “I am delighted to have worked with the Deputy Director General and his teams on a speedy agreement and integration of the Hurricane technology. This will place the postal industry at the forefront of e-commerce growth, ensuring that our postal customers can now access compliance and regulatory solutions directly from the UPU CDS.”
