TEL AVIV, Israel, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Publican Trade Solutions, a global leader in AI-powered trade facilitation solutions for customs authorities today unveils Publican World in collaboration with ASAPRA, an international organization representing professional customs brokers.

Trade professionals frequently encounter fines due to inaccurate import declarations. This stems from limited visibility into the goods they facilitate imports for, coupled with the inherent risk of human error. These fines directly impact profitability on each import transaction, eroding margins. Repeated offenses can jeopardize customs brokerage licenses, significantly impacting business viability. Publican World will help ASAPRA's 40,000+ members mitigate this challenge with 100% transparency into the entire declaration process.

"At ASAPRA, we're dedicated to advancing our profession, which necessitates embracing innovative solutions that align with the evolving demands of professional customs brokers.

"Built with ASAPRA trade professionals in mind, Publican World will promote and protect the competitiveness of our members by streamlining operations, empowering our customs brokers to effectively address other critical challenges."
