Hurricane and Plusius Combine Data and Finance to Power the Future of Global Trade

Hurricane and Plusius combine forces into the world’s most geographically connected cross border API ecosystem, resulting in a cost-effective DDP (Deliver Duty Paid) operating system for a constantly changing global trade landscape

London, UK, 20th November 2025

Hurricane Commerce and Plusius have joined forces to create a single API ecosystem that combines next generation cross border data with regulated financial flows, delivering a fully integrated Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) operating system for merchants, marketplaces, and logistics providers navigating today’s unpredictable global trade environment.

This landmark integration brings Hurricane’s proven ‘all in one’ API together with Plusius’s regulated payments infrastructure, aligning customs data and financial compliance in one ecosystem. As tariffs, de minimis thresholds, and customs requirements shift around the world including renewed tariff activity in the US under President Trump and rapidly evolving rules across Europe, LATAM, MENA, and APAC Hurricane and Plusius offer a truly global platform, engineered for resilience and scale.

The integrated solution delivers a single API for connectivity, product classification, restrictions and sanctions screening, duty and tax calculation, payment capture, cross border transactions, escrowing, and full lifecycle reconciliation. Every step, from HS code assignment to final payment of taxes, is synchronised, fully auditable, and performs real-time compliance checks prior to goods movement. This preclearance by design reduces interventions at the border, speeds up last mile delivery, and optimises operational efficiency for cross border shippers.

This is a joining of two proven specialists. Hurricane is trusted for customs and compliance data at scale, while Plusius is trusted for regulated financial flows. Together, they provide the combined expertise customers need in a fast-changing world.

Tobias Ohlsén, CEO of Plusius

“Every duty and tax transaction is monitored, reconciled and reported in real time. When financial and data flows align, DDP transforms from a cost center into a business advantage.

Key features of the combined solution include:

* Unified API for product data validation, HS classification, screening, duty calculation, payment, and reconciliation

* Preclearance preparation and validation before shipping for faster, more predictable delivery

* Regulated financial controls, real-time transactions, escrowing, and complete audit trails

* Automation that reduces manual clearance prep, enhances compliance, and improves customer experience

Scalability for tariff, de minimis, and compliance changes globally, including ICS2 in Europe and reforms in North America

Hurricane’s recent webinar, Global Trade Twists: Tariffs, Thresholds and General Customs Drama, which our very own CCO Martijn Schneider had a share in, brought the customs and compliance lifecycle to life by putting data firmly at the centre. At origin, Hurricane turns theory into action: product data is enriched, classified, and risk reviewed; duties and taxes are calculated and displayed; data is prepared for seamless submission. In perfect alignment, Plusius powers the financial side with regulated rails prepaying and remitting duties and taxes in step with the data flow, while ensuring every transaction is automatically reconciled and fully auditable.

Powered by data and underpinned by regulated payment rails, the Hurricane Plusius partnership sets a new global standard in compliant, connected cross border trade.
