Flexport files at 99.8% accuracy and has returned more than $1B in refunds and tariff savings to importers over the last five years. [TALK TO A CUSTOMS EXPERT](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/get-started/) ## Manual customs processes cost you time and money. **Entry errors turn into duty corrections and penalties** — Most brokers sample a fraction of entries before filing. Errors that slip through become duty corrections, CBP exams, or penalties you don't find out about until well after the fact. **Tariff volatility outpaces legacy broker systems** — 2025 alone brought 53 tariff changes, including complex 232, IEEPA, 122, and 301 stacking. Brokers whose systems can't update in real time leave you paying the wrong duty or scrambling to understand your exposure. **SKU-level landed costs are hard to get** — Duties, fees, and freight charges get split across systems and forwarders. Without SKU-level data, it's tough to know your true landed cost per product until long after the invoice lands. ## How Flexport lowers duty spend without raising your risk. ### Systems that update the day regulations change Tariff Simulator prices duty scenarios across your product portfolio with rates updated daily. CBP is the tool's top user. We keep pace with tariff changes as they take effect, including 232 derivatives and IEEPA, so you're never filing against outdated rules.

Flexport runs a 100+ point AI audit on every entry before it's filed, not a sample. Most brokers audit a fraction of entries after the fact. That's part of why our compliance error rate on CAPE/IEEPA filings is under 1%, versus an industry standard north of 30%. ### Do I need to be a Flexport freight customer to use Flexport Customs? No. Flexport Customs is forwarder-agnostic and clears cargo regardless of who moved the freight. Standalone customs, brokerage without a Flexport freight relationship, is our fastest-growing segment, up 86% year over year. ### Which countries does Flexport clear customs in directly? Flexport is a licensed in-house broker in the US, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. For all other countries, we clear through a vetted partner broker network while keeping your data on one platform. ### How does Flexport get SKU-level landed cost visibility? Every product's HTS code, country of origin, valuation, and business rules live in Flexport's Product Library. Because that data is stored at the SKU level, you get real-time landed cost visibility by product instead of a lump-sum invoice. ### How does Flexport keep up with tariff changes? Our brokerage operating system updates live as regulations change. In 2025 alone there were 53 tariff changes, including the stacking of 232, IEEPA, 122, and 301 tariffs, and our systems were ready for every one of them the day they took effect. ### Can Flexport help me recover duties I've already paid? Yes. Flexport manages IEEPA refund processing and Duty Drawback, which can recover up to 99% of duties paid on goods that are later exported or destroyed.
