AI customs automation for brokers, freight forwarders, and trade teams.
AI customs automation for brokers, freight forwarders, and trade teams.
Customs brokers spend 60–80% of working hours on manual classification, data entry, and follow-up — not on filings themselves.
Tool-use, retrieval, and structured reasoning crossed the threshold in 2024–25 — AI can now classify HS codes against live tariff feeds with citation, not guesswork.
EU ICS2 fully in force, e-invoicing mandates rolling across the bloc, post-Brexit friction sticky. Every shipment is more declaration work, not less.
Nordic customs brokers are aging out and recruiting is broken. The work doesn't shrink — only the people doing it do.
invoices to structured lines
HS + duty from live feeds
declaration-ready exports
Grounded AI on live customs data — defensible by design.
Direct feeds from 7 customs authorities, re-ingested whenever they publish. New authorities take weeks, not quarters.
26K+ classified line items reviewed by real brokers. Every shipment makes the next classification more accurate.
12 paying customers including Bakkafrost, Samskip, and Posta. Brokers refer brokers — the network compounds faster than competitors can cold-call.
Live production data, active non-internal companies — H1 2026 to date.
Customs is priced as labor today. The software line is small; the labor line is enormous and automatable.
Global customs software + automatable broker labor
Nordics + Northern Europe brokers & forwarders
3-year reachable, design-partner expansion
Forms, faxes, edifact files. Classification is a human's job; tariff books live in drawers.
Customs as a sidecar inside the TMS. Faster forms, still manual HS. Tariff data updated quarterly.
Invoices in, declaration-ready files out — with citations to live authority feeds. Knowledge compounds.

Customs is shifting from a document process to a data process. Companies shouldn't rebuild their operations for every new authority, rule, or market — they should connect once to an engine that keeps evolving.
By 2036, customer agents connect to Zakk's network. Sensitive data stays sovereign. Customs becomes infrastructure companies trust — not a function they fight.
