The mechanical engineering industry has a problem. Or more specifically the customs specialists at the respective companies. The departments of these companies can cooperate so well with each other and provide each other with important information for everyday work, but the customs tariff is and remains a sticking point. Simply because there is little background knowledge about it and also the limited offer of further education often focuses on the customs tariff in general. This is also one of the reasons why ERP master data around foreign trade is often not correctly maintained.
