Whilst Traydstream’s platform does not directly set or calculate tariff rates, it plays a powerful supporting role in helping banks and corporates manage the impact of tariffs.
Precision in document compliance
By harnessing advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR), AI and machine‑learning, Traydstream digitises trade documents such as invoices, bills of lading and certificates of origin, and rigorously checks them against ICC, SWIFT and regulatory standards. This level of document accuracy ensures that every tariff‑relevant item, including product codes, origin declarations, shipment values, is correctly captured, helping avoid misclassification that can lead to overpayment or customs delays.
Real-time alerts on regulatory and tariff changes
When governments introduce new tariffs, such as China’s increase on US goods in April 2025, Traydstream’s AI-powered engine detects the resulting rise in landed costs and flags impacted invoices and letters of credit. This capability enables financial institutions to adjust liquidity planning and compliance measures with speed and precision.
Supply chain visibility
TraydConnect offers a fully integrated, end-to-end platform that connects banks, corporates, and other relevant stakeholders. It provides shared visibility into shipment and payment statuses, allowing teams to identify supply chain disruptions in real time, whether triggered by tariffs, re-routing, or changes in sourcing.
Predictive analytics & risk mitigation
Traydstream leverages advanced compliance analytics, capable of identifying elevated-risk jurisdictions, document types, or trading patterns, including those potentially affected by counter-tariffs or retaliatory duties. By surfacing these risks early, the platform equips trade finance teams and importers to adjust financing structures or payment terms proactively, helping protect operational margins.
Efficiency gains to offset tariff pressures
With manual document verification reduced from days to under an hour, Traydstream significantly cuts operational costs, often by 60–70%. Such savings can help commercial and financial institutions absorb the impacts of small to medium tariff changes without hampering trade volume.
Leveraging digitisation
Following rapid tariff changes, many banks and corporates have turned to digitisation as a buffer, deploying tools such as those offered by Traydstream to adapt and preserve trading continuity in a fragmented global market.
Summary
Although Traydstream does not calculate tariffs, it adds precision, intelligence, and resilience to trade operations facing tariff-related pressures. Through near-perfect document verification, intelligent exception handling, and scenario-based insights, the platform enables businesses to respond swiftly to trade disruptions, supporting route optimisation, compliance integrity, and margin protection in the face of global volatility.
