The Problem

Global Trade Compliance Leaves Significant Money on the Table. Every Single Quarter.

The gap between what trade teams are entitled to recover and what they actually recover is enormous. Manual qualification leaves money uncaptured.

FTA Benefits Unclaimed Due to Manual Qualification Processes

Most enterprises qualify only a fraction of shipments for free trade agreement benefits because manual qualification cannot scale to import volume.

HS Classification Errors Creating Duty Overpayment

Incorrect Harmonized System classification is one of the largest sources of duty overpayment in global trade, and manual review cannot catch it all.

Duty Drawback Unclaimed Across Eligible Transactions

Eligible duty drawback on re-export, manufacturing, and substitution transactions goes unclaimed because manual tracking cannot keep pace with volume.

Broker Invoice Billing Accepted Without Audit

Customs broker invoices for duties, fees, and compliance services are accepted without systematic audit across most global trade programs.

Tariff Changes Monitored Manually With Reaction Delays

Global tariff schedules change with policy and negotiations. Manual monitoring cannot track changes across all lanes, exposing teams to wrong duty rates.

Compliance Screening Gaps Creating Sanctions and Denied Party Risk

Manual screening for denied parties, sanctions lists, and restricted entities cannot scale to the volume and velocity of global trade transactions.

On a $500M global import program, unclaimed FTA benefits, HS classification errors, and unaudited broker billing create significant recoverable value each year.
