Hong Kong, March 27, 2021 — Lenton Group, the global logistics and transport provider, has announced a partnership with Hurricane Commerce.
Lenton Group has selected Hurricane’s Duty and Tax calculator to support the launch of its Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) solution and its commitment to a seamless cross-border trade experience for its ecommerce customers.
The Duty and Tax calculator is available through Lenton Group’s Hub-Ez, a one-stop logistics platform for online sellers, marketplaces and others involved in cross-border ecommerce.
Establishing the partnership with Hong Kong-headquartered Lenton Group will form an integral part of Hurricane’s expansion into Asia Pacific.
