Customs brokerage & trade compliance

Every cross-border shipment needs HS classification and customs entry filing; errors mean seizures and fines. It’s arcane tariff logic gated by licensed brokers and legacy EDI.

Seed thesis

• The mess: Arcane HS tariff classification; entry-document assembly; trade-rule and duty checks; legacy EDI filing.
• Why now: Broker bottleneck and arcane rules kept it manual; agents can now reason about classification and assemble compliant entries.
• The money: Errors = seizures/fines; high shipment volume; per-entry value.
• Whitespace: Logistics has players (e.g. broader back-office), but customs classification/filing specifically is open.
