The case

Tariff changes make freight-forwarder, customs-broker, and 3PL invoices difficult for small importers to review before payment. A useful audit cannot recompute duty from an HTS code and entry date alone: origin, classification, customs value, entry type, preference, exclusions, special measures, and fees also matter. Ladingcheck builds a reproducible expected-versus-billed comparison from the actual entry packet and authoritative dated sources, while customs specialists retain classification and dispute decisions.

Who pays — and why

The finance, operations, or import lead at a 10-to-100-employee ecommerce or retail company reviewing broker and forwarder invoices.

What it unlocks
A normalized entry packet connecting commercial, transport, customs, and invoice evidence
A date-effective expected-duty calculation with every classification, origin, value, measure, and fee assumption exposed
A reviewer-approved discrepancy and dispute packet that preserves responses and recovery outcomes

Buyer persona

Finance and import leaders have a clear before-payment review job.

Convergence

The input records several cross-references but modest grounded convergence.

Why it scored well

A precise importer buyer, current tariff churn, accessible rate data, and a focused pre-payment workflow support a useful audit product.

What's holding it back

Two capabilities remain unverified, classification and valuation are expert judgments, public sources may not preserve authoritative history, and no structural incumbent cost is established.
