Problem
The U.S. importer ecosystem runs on inefficient, outdated infrastructure. Importers discover their bond is short only when CBP notifies them, re-key the same data across eight documents per shipment, and wait 60+ days for trade data—all on infrastructure built for a different era.
Solution
ClearBond is a single platform that connects customs bond data, shipment documents, and operational workflows into one system of record. It gives finance teams visibility into duty spend and bond exposure, lets operations stop re-keying data, and enables compliance to catch errors before they escalate. The platform aggregates every document generated by a shipment into one place and applies automated workflow acceleration through anomaly detection. Users monitor bond usage in real time through live dashboards rather than waiting for post-hoc reports from CBP.
Target Audience
Primary users are U.S. importers across verticals, along with customs brokerage firms and surety providers needing a unified view of bond exposure, shipment documentation, and compliance workflows.
