Customs brokers, importers, compliance teams

~15,000 active licensed customs brokers handle 97% of US import entries. Behind them: importers paying millions in duties, and compliance officers carrying personal liability under the DOJ Trade Fraud Task Force.

Customs brokers

The morning routine is checking CBP, Federal Register, USTR, and three newsletters before the first client call. One missed notice means a wrong rate on hundreds of entries. Rate lookups take 15-45 minutes each across multiple government sites.
Briefing covers regulatory changes across official sources, filtered by HTS code. Classify returns the full tariff stack in seconds.

Importers

An importer paying $8M in annual duties absorbs a 25% tariff increase as a direct margin hit. Trade compliance is often a part-time responsibility of a logistics or finance lead, not a dedicated team with dedicated tools.
Classify calculates total landed cost across all active tariff programs. Screen scores risk by HTS chapter and trade corridor.

Compliance officers

The DOJ Trade Fraud Task Force is pursuing criminal charges against individual officers. The False Claims Act has a $53M settlement precedent. The "reasonable care" standard now carries personal liability.
Entity screening, reclassification risk scoring, and a documented audit trail.
