Our Service Model

Our service model combines unwavering accountability with adaptability, ensuring your unique trade needs are met seamlessly. Our dedicated team and single point of contact guarantee your success through integrity, transparency, and trust.

It’s Our Promise

Standing Behind What We Do

We are Accountable.

We take immediate action on all declarations and communications within one hour of receipt, ensuring a qualified trade expert with a minimum designation of a Certified Customs Specialist (CCS) audit each and every entry.

Each client has a dedicated Client Care Team, with a single point of contact in their Client Care Manager, who are always only a phone call or email away.

Big Enough to Serve, Small Enough to CARE

We are Adaptive.

We enable our clients to act quickly when disruptive issues arise in trade. Having immediate access to reliable trade data required to measure the potential impact of supply chain changes in any industry is paramount, and we provide that.

In the event of issues arising, we guarantee that an executive member will be on-site and/or have a video call with you within 24 hours.
