SAP Global Trade Services
What is SAP Global Trade Services?
SAP Global Trade Services is a solution that automates and streamlines trade compliance processes so you can control costs, reduce the risk of penalties and fines, and clear customs faster.

Centralize global trade management with a single repository for compliance data and benefit from:
- Comprehensive import and export management
- Optimized tariff classification
- Management of free-trade agreements and customs procedures
- Self-filing and broker communication
Key benefits
Improve efficiency
Handle import/export customs, documentation, and product and tariff classification, and save costs with trade strategies.
Reduce risk
Validate every order against the latest compliance regulations to reduce the risk of fines and penalties.
Optimize operations
Accelerate supply chain processes with real-time compliance checks.
Key features
Sanctioned party list (SPL) screening
Support sanctioned party list screening across sales, finance, HR, procurement, and distribution. If a transaction fails a check, the software blocks it for immediate review. Work lists enable efficient processing of blocked documents, and user-friendly workflows escalate questionable entries.
Customs management
Streamline your customs clearance processes and achieve regulatory compliance by ensuring accurate product categorization for trade documentation and determining the relevant tariff codes for import and export procedures.
Import and export management
Connect with core logistics processes and multiple government customs systems to help ensure compliant and efficient import and export management. Fulfil compliance duties by checking transactions for embargoes, managing licenses, and using inline blocking/release for transactions.
Real-time compliance checks and controls
Integrate with order and shipment processes supported by SAP Business Suite applications to keep compliance-related data—and your products—moving as quickly as possible.
Support for special customs procedures
Meet customs requirements, such as foreign trade zones, processing trade in China, bonded warehousing, settlement for inward processing and processing under customs control, Intrastat, and the Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS).
