    Import / Export

    Cross-border trade is its own operating model, with its own systems and its own failure modes. BizBloqs classifies correctly, documents automatically, and tells you the landed cost on day one.

    The paperwork is part of the physical process

    Cross-border trade is its own operating model, with its own systems and its own failure modes. BizBloqs classifies correctly, documents automatically, and tells you the landed cost on day one.

    Landed cost, known at the right moment

    Cross-border trade hides its cost. Freight, duty, handling and currency all land after the buying decision, which means margin is confirmed weeks after it was committed.

    BizBloqs captures the components of landed cost against the shipment and allocates them across the items it carried, so the cost you sell against is the cost you actually incurred.

    Classification is held on the item rather than rediscovered per shipment, which removes both the delay and the risk of an inconsistent declaration.

    Documents produced by the process that created them

    Packing lists, commercial invoices, certificates and customs declarations describe what physically happened. When they are typed separately, they drift, and a discrepancy at the border is expensive in time rather than money.

    Here, documents are generated from the movement record. What was scanned into the container is what appears on the paperwork.

    Bonded and duty-suspended stock is held as its own status, so goods cannot be released before their status allows it.

    The problem

    HS code misclassification triggering duty overpayments and customs holds

    Customs

    HS Classification Engine

    HS codes validated at product setup and checked against the latest tariff schedules — duty calculated correctly every time

    Export documentation produced manually — errors cause clearance delays

    Customs

    Automated Export Docs

    Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and export declarations generated from order data — zero manual entry

    Landed cost unknown until the invoice arrives — margin destroyed after the fact

    Finance

    Landed Cost Accounting

    Duty, freight and insurance allocated to product cost at goods receipt — true purchase price known from day one

    Letter of credit compliance managed outside the system, missed deadlines

    OMS

    Trade Order Management

    LC terms, document deadlines and compliance requirements embedded in the order — system alerts before deadlines

    Broker communication fragmented — no visibility until goods are stuck

    TMS

    Broker & Shipment Visibility

    Broker integration and multimodal shipment tracking in a single view — milestone delays visible as they happen

    our Import / Export Features

    Importers and exporters usually start with classification, landed cost and documentation.

    HS Classification on Item

    Codes held on the item master, applied consistently to every shipment

    Landed Cost Allocation

    Freight, duty and handling allocated across the items a shipment carried

    Customs Documentation

    Declarations and invoices generated from the movement record, not retyped

    Bonded Stock Status

    Duty-suspended goods held as a distinct status that blocks premature release

    Container Receipt Control

    Scanned unpacking reconciled against the packing list, discrepancies logged at receipt

    Multi-Currency Handling

    Purchase, cost and sales currencies tracked so margin survives the exchange rate

    We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!

    In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
