SAP GTS at Amcor: Streamlining customs and trade compliance

How can global organisations strengthen trade compliance while reducing manual work and reliance on external customs brokers? Amcor set out to tackle this challenge by using SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) to automate key trade processes and bring greater control over its customs operations. In this session, discover how Amcor implemented SAP GTS to automate Sanctioned Party List (SPL) screening, improve preferential origin management and bring customs clearance activities in-house. The programme also involved overcoming challenges around harmonising processes across countries, maintaining accurate master data and managing organisational change. Hear how the implementation streamlined compliance processes, improved screening efficiency, increased transparency over preferential origin and reduced dependency on external customs brokers, helping to lower costs and strengthen operational control. Drawing on a programme that began five years ago, Amcor will share practical lessons on the importance of data quality and business ownership, and how SAP GTS can deliver value beyond compliance by improving the efficiency and control of global trade operations.
