What we build

Six compliance modules,
built for your stack.

Each module ships as a production system. Not a pilot, not a proof of concept. Integrated with ACE, built around your commodity mix, and designed to survive a CBP audit.

01
Direct ACE EDI, not a third-party passthrough.

ACE Integration

We build integrations that talk directly to CBP's ACE system: 7501 entry summaries, 7551 drawback filings, ISF transmissions, and post-entry amendments. Your filing data lives in your system, not a vendor's.

02
An engine that classifies, explains, and learns.

HTS Classification

We build classification systems that propose HTS codes with confidence scores and auditable reasoning, trained on your commodity history, calibrated against CBP rulings, and integrated with your entry workflow. Classifiers review edge cases; the engine handles the obvious ones.

03
Screen against OFAC, BIS, and all relevant lists.

Denied Party Screening

Real-time screening of suppliers, consignees, manufacturers, and carriers against OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, UNSC, EU, and custom internal lists. Results logged with match scores, reviewer decisions, and timestamps: everything the audit trail requires.

04
Catch errors before CBP does.

Post-Entry Compliance

Post-summary correction workflows, CF-28 and CF-29 response automation, and reconciliation filing management. We build the queue, the review workflow, and the ACE transmission, so your team doesn't manage corrections in spreadsheets.

05
Five years of immutable history, exportable in CBP format.

Audit Trail

Every classification decision, every screening result, every amendment, every transmission: logged with a full chain of custody. Stored immutably, searchable, and exportable in the packet format CBP requests for focused assessments.

06
Duty exposure, error rates, and filing patterns, all in one place.

Reporting & Analytics

Aggregate trade data across entries, brokers, and commodities to surface duty exposure by supplier, error rates by document type, and filing patterns by lane. Built into the compliance workflow, not a separate BI tool.

How we work

From compliance gap
to running system.

Every engagement starts with mapping what your compliance team actually does. Not the documented process, but the real one. We build around that.

01: SCOPE

Map every compliance workflow before we write a line.

We spend two weeks with your compliance team tracing actual workflows: how entries are prepared, who reviews classifications, how screening results are handled, what triggers a post-entry correction. The gap between documented process and real process is where systems fail.

02: BUILD

One module at a time, in production from week six.

We build in parallel with your operations. First: the data model and ACE integration layer. Then: classification and screening logic. Then: workflow and review tools. You see working software every week.

03: VALIDATE

Every filing is tested against real ACE transmissions.

Before go-live, we run your entry history through the new system in shadow mode, comparing ACE transmissions, classification results, and screening decisions against your existing process. No cutover until parity is proven.

04: HAND OVER

Your team runs it, your license is on it.

Code in your repo. Infrastructure in your cloud. Architecture docs, runbooks, and a named engineer on-call through your first month in production. We document the CBP certification requirements you need to maintain.

ACE integration

Built a direct ACE filing system for a global Importer of Record.

A Fortune 500 importer processes hundreds of entries weekly across dozens of commodity categories. We built an ACE-integrated entry management system with AI classification, denied party screening, and a full audit trail, replacing a mix of manual processes and third-party filing portals.

Screening automation

Automated denied party screening across 800+ weekly shipments.

A mid-size customs broker was running manual screening on every entry, a process that consumed four hours of compliance staff time daily. We built a real-time screening engine integrated with their entry workflow, with automated OFAC and BIS checks, match scoring, and a review queue for flagged results.

Post-entry automation

Reduced post-entry correction cycle time from 14 days to 2.

A major importer was managing CF-28 and CF-29 responses manually, with corrections taking two weeks on average. We built a post-entry workflow system that surfaces required corrections, routes to the right reviewer, and transmits amendments directly through ACE, reducing cycle time by 86%.

Common questions

What compliance teams ask
before they start.

We can integrate with CargoWise, Descartes, or any other customs software you're running, or build standalone systems that talk directly to ACE. The choice depends on what you're trying to replace versus extend. We map that decision in the first two weeks.
We build update pipelines that pull HTSUS schedule changes, new CBP rulings, and OFAC/BIS list updates on a schedule, so the system stays current without manual maintenance. Classification models are retrained periodically on new rulings.
The audit trail we build is designed specifically for focused assessments. Every classification decision has its reasoning logged. Every screening result is timestamped with the list version used. Every amendment has a chain of custody. We've designed the export format to match what CBP requests.
Yes. We build compliance systems that pull data from whatever systems you're already running: SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Manhattan WMS, or custom internal systems. The integration work is scoped in discovery and built alongside the core compliance modules.
The system logs every action taken under your license: who reviewed a classification, who approved a screening result, who transmitted a filing, and when. The broker of record's decisions are the ones that matter; the system makes sure they're documented and auditable.

Tell us what you're filing and where the gaps are. We'll come back with a written assessment, a module-by-module build plan, and a fixed fee. No retainers, no time-and-materials.
