Quickcode, the AI-powered global trade compliance platform that serves as a strategic partner for enterprise trade teams by delivering intelligent automation, today announced that it has joined the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, the trade association representing the US consumer technology industry and the organization behind CES®, the world’s most powerful technology event.
CTA brings together more than 1,300 technology companies, from startups to global brands, and provides members with opportunities to participate in industry advocacy, research, standards development, and collaboration.
For Quickcode, membership provides an opportunity to engage with technology companies and industry stakeholders around some of the challenges shaping global commerce, including artificial intelligence, tariffs, trade regulations, and the complexity of international supply chains.
“Technology companies are operating in a really complex global trade environment, and compliance has become an important part of how they manage that complexity,” said Shannon Hynds, CEO and co-founder of Quickcode. “Joining CTA gives Quickcode an opportunity to contribute to conversations about how technology can help companies navigate changing trade requirements while continuing to innovate and compete globally.”
CTA has made international trade and tariffs a significant area of its policy work. Its Trade Policy Working Group provides members with updates on domestic and global trade developments and advocates on trade issues, while CTA has recently addressed topics including Section 301, Section 232, forced labor, the USMCA, and other trade policies affecting technology companies.
The association has also highlighted the growing importance of trade certainty for technology companies. CTA has raised concerns about the impact of tariffs on businesses and consumers, including higher input costs and supply chain disruption.
Quickcode provides AI-powered tools for global trade compliance, including HTS classification, tariff analysis, regulatory monitoring, and compliance auditing. The platform brings together product information with resources such as Customs and Border Protection rulings, World Customs Organization guidance, tariff changes, and trade remedies to help organizations manage classification and other compliance requirements.
“AI is changing how companies approach many aspects of their operations, including trade compliance,” said Hynds. “We look forward to working alongside other CTA members and bringing the perspective of a company focused specifically on applying AI to one of the most data-intensive and highly regulated areas of global business.”
