Customs House Brokers Can Benefit from TradeReady
For Customs House Brokers — TradeReady TM Delivers Ready-to-File Clarity
What’s Getting in the Way
Brokers are held to high standards under 19 CFR Part 111 while the Importer of Record carries classification responsibility under 19 U.S.C. §1484. In practice, you’re asked to “just classify it” without the product detail, testing data, or change history needed to defend a code. Intake emails multiply, BOMs change late, and teams lose time reconciling rulings, notes, and prior entries. The result: hesitation at hand-off, rework near cut-off, and uncomfortable exposure if questions arise later.
How We Help
TradeReady TM turns ambiguity into a single, documented conclusion the importer can stand behind—and that supports your filing process. We combine decades of hands-on classification work with a disciplined framework:
- A researched HTS baseline grounded in GRIs, Section/Chapter notes, Additional U.S. Notes, and relevant rulings
- A transparent reasoning trail—what was considered, what was ruled out, and why
- A concise broker-grade packet (intake summary, determination, citations, exhibits) ready for your file
- Versioning with change logs so BOM or spec updates don’t unravel prior work
What Working With Us Feels Like
We plug in without adding friction. You receive clear, defensible classifications and concise documentation you can trust, while the importer gains the ownership and transparency they owe you. That means fewer back-and-forths, fewer last-minute surprises, and a cleaner audit trail when anyone asks “why this code?”
Note: TradeReady TM is not a customs house broker and does not act as the Importer of Record. We support importers and their selected brokers with defensible research and documentation that strengthen your compliance process.
