The Problem

Where time and money disappear

Mid-market customs brokerage companies run lean teams on fragmented systems. The overhead compounds every time a shipment moves — and your best people spend their day on work that should be automated.

01
1

Pre-clearance checks are inconsistent

Each entry agent has their own checklist. Senior agents catch what juniors miss. Errors that slip through become expensive customs holds.

02
2

HS code verification is a time bomb

Classification errors are the leading cause of customs penalties. Your team manually cross-references tariff schedules with no systematic validation layer.

03
3

Document completeness is guesswork

Is the commercial invoice correct? Are the weights consistent? Does the description match the HS code? These checks happen in someone's head, not a system.

04
4

SOP knowledge lives in people, not systems

When your experienced broker retires, their classification knowledge goes with them. New agents make the same mistakes over and over.

Automation Workflows

Three workflows. Real results.

We start with the two highest-impact workflows for your operation. These are the ones your team touches most often — and where automation has the fastest, most measurable payoff.

Automated validation of every entry before it touches CBP — checking document presence, field consistency, HS code alignment, and restricted party screening.

Before Finna
  • 1Entry agent receives shipment documents
  • 2Manual review against mental checklist
  • 3MBL, invoice, packing list checked individually
  • 4HS code cross-referenced manually in tariff schedule
  • 5Entry submitted — errors discovered at CBP
After Finna
  • 1Documents received and parsed automatically
  • 2Completeness check runs against entry requirements
  • 3Inconsistencies flagged before agent reviews
  • 4HS code validated against known classification rules
  • 5Entry submitted only when all checks pass
Zero incomplete entries submitted, 70% fewer CBP holds

The Sprint

Live in 8 weeks

Not a pilot. Not a prototype. Two automations running in production — with your team trained and your processes documented. You own everything we build.

Weeks 1–2

Compliance audit

We review your entry history, map your classification workflow, and identify the error patterns costing you the most in holds, penalties, and rework.

Weeks 3–4

Process documentation

Detailed maps of your pre-clearance and documentation workflows, with every check, decision point, and system involved. Your compliance blueprint.

Weeks 5–6

Automation build

Pre-clearance and documentation QC workflows built and tested against your live entries. Every rule based on your actual classification history.

Weeks 7–8

Integration and training

Connected to your brokerage systems, run with live entries, and your team trained on the new workflow. You own all documentation and automation rules.

70%Fewer customs holds
