Cross border B2B trade has always meant navigating a maze of unpredictable import costs and manual analog processes every step of the way. But that era is over. Today, FlavorCloud ushers decades old, traditional business to business (B2B) logistics into the modern realm of ecommerce. FlavorCloud's new guaranteed deliver duty paid (DDP) B2B product enables B2B air and ground freight to move from anywhere to anywhere with fully guaranteed landed costs. 

From AI-powered harmonized tariff code (HS) classification to automated customs clearance, FlavorCloud takes all Importer/Exporter of record risk so Brands don't have to. CFOs and accountants will enjoy a single invoice for all B2B freight at an order-level for easy reconciliation.

With recent tariff and trade wars driving massive change within the global supply chain, FlavorCloud helps brands be resilient to tariff turmoil, carrier outages, and unpredictable trade or recession-related challenges. Whether B2B wholesale airfreight, enabling new trade lanes for M2C (manufacturing to consumer), or supporting the B2B2C model to essentially drop ship from a manufacturer, FlavorCloud’s solution helps brands move inventory quickly, compliantly, and cost-effectively with full visibility DDP clearance rails. In all B2B air freight shipments, FlavorCloud will act as the Importer of Record (IOR) with a guaranteed DDP offering to eliminate risk and ensure compliance.  

“Modern B2B global commerce demands modern B2B logistics—automated, simple, fast and without compliance risk,” said Rathna Sharad, CEO and co-founder of FlavorCloud. “Ocean freight timelines often range from six weeks to more than three months, making brands schedule shipments and orders several months in advance. In today’s changing environment, that’s just not realistic. With air freight costs now rivaling ocean freight—while offering the speed and financial flexibility brands desperately need and only paying tariffs at time of import, there’s every reason to make the shift.”
