New customers start sooner.
Invite them by email. They load their product list as they keep it, and the import is saved for next time. Once their data is all available, they're filing with you in weeks, not months.
FOR CUSTOMS BROKERS
Keep your filing system.
Stop rekeying your customers' data.
Your customers send PDFs, spreadsheets, and emails, and your team turns them into keystrokes. TradeManager™ sits in front of the system you already file with. Customers load their own files, answer your questions from a link, and send you invoices built from products you've already classified. Your system still files every entry.
We reply within one business day. Built by people who have worked the border for 25 years.

WHAT PILED UP
Every new requirement
landed on the same people.
Each one came with its own data, its own deadline, and its own way to hold a truck at the border.
- 01ISF and Prior Notice, with the entry data due before the goods move.
- 02Partner government agencies and hundreds of new reporting elements across 14 agencies.
- 03ACE modernization, and every filing system rebuilt around it.
- 04The end of de minimis. Parcels now clear like freight.
- 05Tariffs that stack five headings deep and change by proclamation.
- 06Drivers waiting at the port while someone chases a missing number.
The systems most brokers run were built for one entry at a time and patched for twenty years. Every fix made them heavier. We know, because we built and ran some of them.

Your filing system stays.
The rekeying goes.
Whatever files your entries today keeps filing them. TradeManager handles the work that happens first: collecting the data, checking it against agency rules, holding your classifications, and stacking the duty. When an invoice is ready, your team approves it. TradeManager delivers a structured data package and a printed Proforma to your secure file drop.
- FILESCBPReceives every entry.
- ENTERSYour filing systemWhatever you file with today. Unchanged.
- PREPARESTradeManagerCollects, checks, classifies, and stacks the data.

WHAT CHANGES
Six places your team loses hours before filing.
None of these are filing problems. They're data problems, and they land on your team because nobody else is set up to handle them.
Products get classified once.
You classify and lock. A guided interview walks the tariff schedule with you. If the customer edits a product, it comes back to your audit queue.
Invoices arrive nearly built.
Lines come from approved products, saved templates, or a paste from Excel. Your team reviews instead of typing.
Questions get answered in writing.
Pinned to the field that needs it and answered from an email link, with no sign-in. Every open question sits in one queue.
Every duty line has a source.
The rule and the CBP or Federal Register notice behind each Chapter 99 line, so a customer can see why the duty went up.
Customers learn it from the Guide.
An assistant inside TradeManager that walks them through each task, or does the steps with them.
HOW IT WORKS
From your customer's spreadsheet
to a duty stack you can defend.
Nobody keys it twice. Nobody guesses at the metal content.
01Their file, their layout.
DATA INTAKE
Their file, their layout.
Loaded in minutes.
Every importer sends something different. Upload it as is, up to 100 MB. The wizard asks a few questions, builds a mapping plan, and shows you a preview with every problem row marked before anything loads.
- Excel, CSV, TSV, and JSON
- Fix rows in the grid, or in Excel and re-upload
- Save the mapping and rerun it on the next file

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
One product record.
Every origin, every agency.
Keep descriptions, values, weights, origins, and classifications with effective dates on one record. Attach FDA, APHIS, CPSC, or any of 14 agencies' data once, and it copies onto every invoice line that uses the product.
- Origin-specific classifications with effective dates
- Partner government agency data for 14 agencies
- 39 agency rules run before a save

03 / TARIFF STACKING
The duty stack,
line by line, with reasons.
Run a classification, origin, and value through every regime in force on the entry date. When a rule needs a fact you have not given it, such as the steel share by weight, it asks you instead of guessing.

Read why each line is there.
Every run records each decision in plain English, with the CSMS message or Federal Register notice behind it.
Go back to any run.
Runs are kept with their inputs and the rule version that produced them. A rerun is a new run, never an edit.
Your judgment stays in the loop.
Questions, warnings, and blocks show before a result can be used. Nothing files itself.
04 / WHEN THE RULES CHANGENew rule published.
New rule published.
Old runs flagged for review.
Paste the CBP notice. TradeManager drafts the rule, the configuration, and the test cases, then checks that they compile and pass. A second person publishes it. Every run made under the old version is marked stale, so nothing files on yesterday's rates.

Same system.
Different seat at the border.
Brokers, carriers, and importers each get the part of the shipment that is theirs to fix.
