Strengthening tequila supply chain integrity from Mexico to the U.S.
Trading partners can also obtain information on a full-trailer load compared to lots shipped, along with a summary of the shipped boxes, significantly improving process efficiency.
The tequila trade between Mexico and the U.S. can realise significant improvements in traceability as well as efficiency gains.
Processing time has improved by 30 percent and counterfeiting has been minimised.
The focus of this pilot was to ensure that the products were not stolen, altered or exchanged for counterfeit products. It was, therefore, based on monitoring the traceability of tequila shipments, knowing where specific products were located in the supply chain, at a specific point in time. Additional traceability information included knowing that the trailer had not been altered and that products had not been stolen or exchanged.
GS1 identifiers encoded in EPC/RFID tags uniquely identify each tequila product along with data such as the lot number and expiration date. The EzTrack EPCIS platform enables all stakeholders to track the movement of tequila shipments throughout the global supply chain. The Ministry of Economy and the National Chamber of the Tequila Industry chose the following tequila companies to participate in the project: Corporativo Destileria Santa Lucia S.A. de C.V.; the Patron Spirits Company; Proximo Spirits Inc.; Tequila Cuervo; and Pernord Ricard Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Making China’s customs clearance processes more efficient and more accurate with...
Unfortunately, import procedures requiring companies to manually enter product information multiple times were resulting in discrepancies, inaccuracies and wasted time.
The General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) now leverages the GS1 Global Trade Item Number® (GTIN®) and Verified by GS1 to expedite border declarations, minimise errors, improve compliance, watch for counterfeits and enhance a whole range of customs clearance processes.
For example, many companies and brokers importing goods to China can now auto-populate product information in the “single window” declaration system simply by entering the product’s GS1 GTIN.
