What importers and exporters need to know about today’s cross-border compliance landscape

Global trade is changing fast. 

New tariff regimes, evolving de minimis thresholds, digitized customs systems, and increased enforcement are redefining how goods move across borders.

In fact, 75% of companies surveyed said complying with Harmonized System (HS) code classification is difficult. When customers expect fast delivery and cost transparency, scalable compliance has become a competitive requirement—not a back-office task. 

To help leaders navigate this shift, Avalara created the Cross-border ecommerce trends guide. It breaks down what’s reshaping global trade and what modern, resilient compliance looks like today. 

Read the guide to see where hidden risk may be slowing you down—and how leading organizations are adapting.
