The TradeOps Desk · human-reviewed trade compliance

Import decisions
you can defend.

Classification, duty exposure and documentation risk for your catalogue — researched with modern tooling, then reviewed and signed by a qualified customs specialist. Because “the AI said 8517.62” is not a defense at an audit.

One product vertical, one trade corridor at a time — depth over breadth, by design.

First engagement

What a decision pack looks like.

A sample row per finding: the claim, the risk, the evidence, the reviewer. Nothing “definitive” that the record can’t support.

Import Risk Scan — sample extract REVIEWED & SIGNED
Qualified customs specialist
SKU / claimRiskFinding
Wireless charging pad
declared as “phone accessory”
High Classification defensibility weak; two plausible headings with materially different duty. Recommendation + evidence needed from supplier, confidence stated per option.
Kids’ desk lamp
LED, USB-powered
Medium Safety-documentation gap for the destination market; origin evidence incomplete for preferential duty claimed. Fix list items #2 and #5.
Cotton tote bag
printed, single origin
Low Classification and origin position consistent and documented. No action; re-check on next tariff cycle via monitoring.
Illustrative sample. Real packs cite the tariff lines, rulings and documents reviewed, name the reviewing specialist, and state confidence per finding.

Why a desk, not a database.

Trade rules change weekly and punish confident guesses. Our model is simple: modern research tooling for coverage, a named specialist for judgment, and monitoring for everything that changes after we ship your pack.

🧑‍⚖️

A human signs it

Every pack is reviewed by a qualified customs / trade-compliance professional who puts their name on it.

🎯

Narrow on purpose

One vertical and one corridor at a time. Depth is what makes findings defensible.

Then we watch it

SKU Watch — monthly monitoring of tariff, measure and documentation changes for your reviewed SKUs. Offered to scan customers first.

Standing rules

  • No unsupported “definitive” classifications. Findings state confidence and the evidence they rest on — always.
  • Not legal advice. Decision support reviewed by qualified specialists; your broker and counsel keep the final word.
  • Scope is contractual. Corridor, vertical and jurisdictions are agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Your data stays yours. Catalogue data is never resold or pooled across clients.

For customs & trade-compliance specialists.

We are building the founding review bench: licensed customs brokers, trade-compliance consultants and former customs officers who want paid, well-prepared review work — research done, documents assembled, findings drafted for your judgment and signature. Corridor and vertical specialization welcome.

Join the review bench

Start with ten SKUs.

Tell us your product category, your corridor (origin → destination), and roughly how many SKUs you import. We reply within two working days with scope and a fixed price — or an honest “outside our current corridor.”
