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.
Import and export operations carry customs status alongside physical stock. A warehouse management system keeps bonded and free stock apart, records origin, tariff and document references against the goods, and prevents stock from being shipped in a way its customs status does not permit.
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.
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.
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.
HS code misclassification triggering duty overpayments and customs holds
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
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
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
LC terms, document deadlines and compliance requirements embedded in the order — system alerts before deadlines
Broker communication fragmented — no visibility until goods are stuck
Broker integration and multimodal shipment tracking in a single view — milestone delays visible as they happen
Importers and exporters usually start with classification, landed cost and documentation.
Codes held on the item master, applied consistently to every shipment
Freight, duty and handling allocated across the items a shipment carried
Declarations and invoices generated from the movement record, not retyped
Duty-suspended goods held as a distinct status that blocks premature release
Scanned unpacking reconciled against the packing list, discrepancies logged at receipt
Purchase, cost and sales currencies tracked so margin survives the exchange rate

BizBloqs was one of the first to provide a WMS with scanning capabilities and we started a journey together. Our operations have gotten a lot more complex, advanced and especially bigger over the past 5 years and we have simply grown together.

When we had extensive logistic requirements beyond the capabilities of our financial solution, BizBloqs shared its expertise to transform Lantaarn’s entire warehouse experience together

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!
Rik Klein - Sales manager
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.
