Despite the efforts being made to simplify global trade and allow the free flow of goods across borders, many countries still maintain local regulations. To ensure effective order fulfillment, it is essential that such country-specific information is known in advance. The GDS database provides easy access to information including import requirements, restrictions, approval standards, network availability, delivery costs, partner availability, and tax rates.
