GM Tax Staff NAFTA Tariff System
The NAFTA program for importing parts represented an opportunity for GM to save millions in tariff costs annually as well as an opportunity to get preferential treatment for it’s trucks at border crossings. The challenge: It required full compliance with the U.S. Customs Harmonized Tariff Classification reporting requirements.
Partnering with MSX International and GM’s Customs Brokers, Spud Software designed and developed GM’s Electronic Classification Reporting Database (ECRD). Our ECRD solution included tools that allowed their engineers to quickly identify and record the key specifications of a part, associate the part’s attributes with the corresponding rate listed in the US Customs tariff schedule, and create the necessary documentation to meet NAFTA compliance requirements.
