Built For
US customs brokers, freight forwarders, and FBA import operators
Automate Section 321 structuring reviews, FDA Product Code construction, and HTS→PGA checks in minutes — ideal for teams facing tight CBP filing windows and high-volume import operations.
Domain Challenges
in US Import Compliance
US import operations run on strict, time-sensitive workflows. Brokers juggle 60-minute filing windows, manual FDA Product Code construction, vague commodity descriptions, and unclear PGA flags — all while relying on fragmented tools and outdated templates.
Section 321 structuring pressure
CBP scrutiny on duplicate consignees and incomplete manifests.
FDA Product Code complexity
7-digit code logic with PIC and component checks.
HTS → PGA ambiguity
Importers rarely know which PGAs (FDA, FCC, USDA, EPA) apply.
Mixed invoice formats
Non-standard manifests and inconsistent data fields across sources.
Manual cross-checks
Verification workflows that break under volume and tight deadlines.
Compliance teams are drowning in manual verifications
Low-value shipments, FDA code updates, and HTS/PGA reconciliations still rely on email, spreadsheets, and heroic analysts. Each exception steals hours.
Our import compliance agents cross-check declarations line-by-line, cite the risk, and return clean corrections back into your workflow.
Section 321 audit readiness
Validate value thresholds, importer of record details, and duty/tax exemptions on every shipment.
FDA product code accuracy
Generate 7-digit codes, validate PGAs, and catch mismatches before Customs does.
HTS + PGA hygiene
Normalize datasets coming from brokers, freight forwarders, and marketplaces into a single source of truth.
What the hub delivers
Each mini-agent focuses on a single part of the import workflow.
ACE & PGA cross-checking
Compare ACE responses against inbound documents, highlight discrepancies, and trigger remediation tasks automatically.
FDA product code builder
Guide your team through structured questions and instantly return the correct FDA product code with reasoning.
Section 321 shipment validator
Review manifests, commercial invoices, and retailer requirements to approve or block entries before arrival.
PGA evidence packets
Auto-assemble compliance packets with citations, timestamps, and the data regulators expect.

Generate Structured Outputs
Receive audit-ready reports (PDF/CSV) for Section 321, FDA codes, and PGA mapping.
Review & File Confidently
QA teams approve flagged items and file CBP/FDA entries with validated, clean data.
Scenario in Practice
A customs broker receives a 1,200-line manifest at 9:00 AM with mismatched invoice formats and vague product descriptions. With only 60 minutes to file, they need Section 321 structuring checks, FDA Product Codes, and PGA flags validated fast enough to avoid delays and CBP scrutiny.
Challenge
No automated way to cross-check 1,200+ line items for duplicate consignees, FDA Product Code validity, or HTS→PGA requirements before the CBP cutoff — forcing brokers to rely on manual lookups and fragmented tools.
Agent in Action
The suite ingests the manifest and invoices, normalizes consignees, constructs FDA Product Codes, and identifies PGA triggers from HTS classifications — all in minutes.
Impact
Within 8 minutes, the broker receives three audit-ready reports — structuring, FDA code validation, and PGA mapping — leaving ample time for QA and filing.
