VeloIQ™ Cross-Border Trade & Customs Sentinel — Border Delays Caught Before They're Filed

Every shipment manifest is validated upstream of your customs filing system — mismatched HS codes flagged against product descriptions, missing Certificates of Origin caught before export dispatch, and duty exposure calculated automatically. WCO Harmonized System, US CBP C-TPAT, and Incoterms 2020 aligned, all in one pre-flight compliance view.

A guided tour of Cross-Border Trade & Customs Sentinel

Every user journey, the dashboard, and the AI Management Console — walked end to end.

From the commercial invoice to the border crossing — one platform

A single platform for global trade compliance teams — connecting trading parties, HS tariff codes, shipping manifests, duty assessments, certificates of origin, compliance checks, C-TPAT assessments, and border crossings across the whole pre-filing workflow.

🌐

Who it’s for

VPs of Global Trade Compliance, Customs Brokerage Managers, and Import/Export Operations Directors.

⚙️

Unlimited-user pre-filing layer

Compliance teams drop shipment manifests and line items into the app for review — completely upstream of the customer's actual customs filing system, no per-seat cost.

🧠

AI analytics for the decision-maker

The compliance officer queries manifest status, duty exposure, and documentation completeness in plain English.

Every module a global trade compliance team needs, pre-built

Purpose-built data models, workflows, and views — generated by the VeloIQ™ framework and refined for the vertical.

Trading Parties

Importers, exporters, consignees, customs brokers, and freight forwarders, each tracked with tax ID, country, and C-TPAT certification status.

WCO HS Tariff Reference

Harmonized System codes with chapter, heading description, ad valorem duty rate, and import permit requirements.

Shipping Manifests & Line Items

The core pre-filing manifest — Incoterms 2020 delivery term, transport mode, ports, declared value — with every declared line item's HS code checked against its product description.

HS Code Mismatch Auto-Escalation

Every manifest line item is checked automatically against the HS code reference table — flagged mismatched when no matching code is found, matched otherwise.

Duty Exposure Calculation

Ad valorem duty amount computed automatically from declared quantity, unit value, and the HS code's duty rate.

Certificates of Origin & Border Crossings

Certificate of Origin issuance tracked per manifest, and physical border/port crossings tracked from entry to customs clearance.

Deployable on day one

VeloIQ™ Cross-Border Trade & Customs Sentinel ships as a complete, working application — not a template you still have to build.

📦

Pre-bundled & seeded

Arrives with realistic sample data (10 trading parties, 10 HS codes, 12 shipping manifests, 28 line items, 22 duty assessments, 9 certificates of origin) plus a clean production-ready database. Explore instantly, then switch when you go live.

💬

Pre-configured NL analytics

6 pre-configured NL chats with 31 sample sentences — manifests & line items, HS codes & duties, documentation & compliance, and trading parties & border crossings (native), plus pre-filing risk and broker performance AI assistants (agentic).

Runs out of the box

One veloiq run and the full application is live: REST API, React frontend, admin back-office, and AI console — all on your own infrastructure.

Tested & verifiable

Automated smoke, regression, and licensing suites ship with the app, including checks that every line item's duty amount matches its declared value and HS code rate, and that HS-code mismatch flagging actually fired.

Turn pre-filing visibility into faster, cheaper border crossings

Measurable outcomes for every role — from the compliance analyst to the VP of Global Trade Compliance.

🚧

Border holds caught before they happen

Every manifest line item's HS code is checked against the reference table before dispatch — a fix before filing, not a hold at the border.

📄

No more missing Certificates of Origin

Certificate of Origin status is tracked per manifest, so compliance officers can query exactly which shipments are missing documentation this week.

💰

Duty exposure calculated automatically

Assessed duty amount is computed automatically from declared quantity, unit value, and the HS code's duty rate — no manual tariff math.

🛂

C-TPAT posture visible

Every trading party's C-TPAT certification tier and security score sit in the same system as the manifests they're party to.

📋

ROI in one CSV upload

Prospects can upload a month of past shipment manifests via the Data Import Engine to see immediately where filings would have been flagged.

🛡️

The compliance team's digital bodyguard

IQVigilant's Exception Management watches for mismatched HS codes and missing Certificates of Origin, with a 1-user free-tier license included.
