Continuous Customs Entry Audits — Augmented by AI
Catch entry errors, valuation issues, origin inconsistencies, and documentation gaps before they become assessments, penalties, or enforcement actions.
In a new environment of heightened importer and broker scrutiny, continuous customs entry audits help importers of record (IORs) move from reactive cleanup to proactive control.
Built-In Compliance Checks for Entry and Line-Level Audits
Automate What Slows You Down
KYG Trade helps importers review customs entries and line-level data for the issues that matter most: classification, valuation, origin, AD/CVD exposure, broker filing accuracy, documentation completeness, and supply-chain consistency.
Our audit logic is informed by trade compliance professionals, including Licensed Customs Brokers, a former Big 4 trade and customs partner, and a trade attorney.
Entry Completeness
Validate header and line level entry data.
Classification Integrity
Flag HTS-to-product attribute mismatches.
Valuation Controls
Check assists, royalties, transfer pricing, first sale and appraisement method issues.
Origin Consistency
Detect transshipment, supplier risk, valuation and COO anomolies.
AD/CVD & EAPA Risk
Surface AD/CVD scope exposure and evasion risk indicators.
UFLPA Readiness
Identify traceability and document gaps tied to forced labor scrutiny.
KYG Trade helped us move from time-consuming, sample-based entry reviews to a continuous, line-level audit model. We identified issues earlier, improved broker oversight, and strengthened our audit readiness without increasing headcount.
API Connectors into your ERP, TMS, PLM, and External Brokers / Forwarders
Connect the systems where Import Risk actually lives
Pull entry, product, vendor, shipment, and document data from ERP, TMS, PLM, brokers, and freight forwarders into one continuous audit workflow.
KYG Trade combines API connectors and unstructured data to create ongoing compliance checkpoints—not just one-time reviews. In a tougher enforcement environment, continuous data connectivity becomes a control requirement, not a nice-to-have.
ERP & Finance Systems
Import PO, invoice, payment, title and risk of loss data.
TMS & Logistics Platforms
Connect shipment milestones, routing, and transportation mode data.
PLM & Product Masters
Bring in product attributes, HTS support, and BOM context.
Customs Brokers
Reconcile entry data, filing outcomes, and post entry amendments.
Freight Forwarders
Tie logistics records to entries and declarations.
Supplier Documents
Centralize invoices, packing lists, origin support, and certifications.
The biggest unlock was data unification. KYG Trade gave us one environment across ERP, brokers, and shipment records so we could identify filing issues, value variances, and missing support documentation much faster.
CBP Audit-Ready Documentation
When CBP Asks, Speed and Transparency Matter
KYG Trade helps organize the records, explanations, and supporting evidence needed to respond quickly and credibly to customs inquiries, internal audits, broker questions, customer inquiries, and enforcement-related reviews.
Fast response and transparency are critical to penalty mitigation. Stronger documentation and faster issue resolution can help reduce trade-related import penalty risk, False Claims Act exposure, EAPA escalation risk, and UFLPA detention risk in a much stricter enforcement environment.
Bottom line: Better documentation does not eliminate risk, but it can materially improve response quality, reduce avoidable escalation, and strengthen the basis for mitigation where available.
Reasonable Care Support
Centralize support for entry decisions and importer accountability.
Audit Response Packs
Assemble records and explanations quickly for CBP or internal review.
FCA Risk Support
Improve documentation where import revenue discrepancies could trigger broader scrutiny.
EAPA Defensibility
Strengthen product, origin, and transhipment controls before gaps become adverse facts.
UFLPA Response Readiness
Organize traceability, supplier evidence, and manufacturing support documents.
Entry Amendment Workflow
Track issues, remediation steps, and audit-history changes over time.
What used to require multiple separate workstreams for valuation, origin, forced labor, and AD/CVD review can now be supported by a more unified shipment-level evidence model. That has real value for audit readiness and executive visibility.
One Product Shipment Genome Supporting Multiple Regulatory Authorities
Today’s enforcement environment increasingly requires companies to prove not just what was shipped, but how it was made, where it came from, who touched it, and whether the entry story is consistent from supplier to shipment to declaration.
KYG Trade produces an audit record that combines product attributes, shipment and entry data, supplier and counterparty details, and multi-step manufacturing flow into a complete mine-to-finished product genome.
This supports a single evidence base across multiple authorities and legal regimes—including customs valuation, origin, AD/CVD, EAPA, UFLPA, False Claims, and broader importer-of-record compliance obligations.
