Prohibited and Restricted Goods Screening
Certain goods are subject to prohibitions, restrictions or licensing requirements when moving across borders. Failure to identify these controls early can result in seized shipments, fines, delays and reputational damage. Hurricane enables organisations to identify prohibited and restricted goods before shipment, allowing issues to be resolved early and trade to proceed with confidence.

Comply with Customs Regulations Before Goods Move
When goods are subject to restrictions, it is the responsibility of the seller, buyer or distributor to obtain the correct permissions, licences or approvals before export or import.
Failure to comply can result in goods being seized or destroyed, significant financial penalties and, in severe cases, criminal prosecution.
Hurricane helps organisations identify restricted goods early, reducing risk and avoiding costly disruption at the border.
