Your customs entry belongs on the shipment.
Prepare, validate and transmit U.S. entries through a CBP-certified ABI pipeline — inside the platform your team already runs the shipment on. One record. One login. One contract — no second platform to license, implement and reconcile.
* Design-partner slots open now. General availability Q3 2026.
Entries go to CBP / ACE through a certified filing pipeline, maintained for you.
Consumption, informal, in-bond, warehouse, FTZ and drawback — plus 5106, duty payment, statements, ISF, AMS and AES.
Customs runs on the shipment you already pay for. No second system to license or implement.
Three duty frameworks in five months
Nobody's filing system was built for 2026. The question isn't whether your platform is deep — it's how fast it changes when Washington does.
IEEPA tariffs struck down
The Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. Collection stopped four days later, and a refund process had to be built inside ACE.
De minimis suspended indefinitely
CBP codified the suspension of the $800 exemption. The Entry Type 86 test is suspended. Type 11 Informal is now the primary pathway at $2,500 or less.
Section 301 forced-labor duties
A new Chapter 99 framework covering 60 economies, each with its own rate, exceptions and reporting requirements — live with one day's filing guidance.
Running customs in a second system costs you four times
You key it twice
Parties, values, HTS and dates already exist on the shipment. Your entry writer types them again into a different application.
The records drift
A shipment changes after the entry is drafted. Nothing tells the entry writer, so the two systems quietly disagree.
Nobody knows the status
Ops emails the desk. The desk checks a portal. The customer emails ops. Three people, one question.
You pay twice for one entry
A forwarding platform on one contract, a filing platform on another — two subscriptions, two implementations, two vendors to chase when a rule changes.

We're not going to tell you the incumbents can't file. They can. Here's the actual difference for a U.S.-focused forwarder with a house brokerage.
| GoFreight | CargoWise | Magaya | Descartes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. filing depth | Deep — certified ABI pipeline, full U.S. entry-type range | Deep | Deep | Deep |
| Global customs coverage | U.S. only. If you file in six countries, buy CargoWise. | ~60 jurisdictions — strongest in market | U.S.-focused | Multi-country |
| Where the entry lives | The shipment record itself | Integrated module inside the suite | A separate product connected to the TMS by API | A separate filing platform, often a different product line from the forwarding system |
| Commercial model | Users plus transactions, on one contract — no separate customs platform fee | Per-transaction automation fees since Dec 2025 | Priced by module and user count | Priced per platform, often more than one contract |
| Typical time to live | 4–8 weeks for the platform | 6–12+ months | Faster than CargoWise | Varies by product |
| Best fit | U.S. forwarders running freight and a house brokerage on one team | Global enterprise networks with dedicated IT | Forwarders who also run warehousing | High-volume dedicated brokerage operations |

Q1 2027FAQ
Who transmits to CBP — you, or someone else?
Your entries are transmitted to CBP / ACE through a CBP-certified ABI filing pipeline. The certification, the message formats and the regulatory content are maintained inside that engine, which means format changes and new requirements arrive as updates rather than as a project on your side. On a demo call we'll walk you through the transmission path, the certified functions, and the CBP responses coming back onto the shipment.
Do I keep my filer code?
Yes. Your filer code, your broker license and your bonds are yours. Nothing about your CBP relationship changes — only the screen your entry writer works in.
How long does moving off my current ABI system take?
Replacing an ABI system outright is commonly a six to twelve month project once you include data migration, CERT testing and training. We don't ask you to do that in one step. Most forwarders run parallel through a defined cutover: profiles, parties and importer records migrate first, a subset of entry types goes live, and the old system stays available until your desk is comfortable. We'll give you a dated plan before you commit.
What can I file at launch?
The full U.S. range: consumption and informal entries, in-bond, warehouse, FTZ e-214, drawback and post-entry work, with 5106 importer records, duty payment and periodic statement. ISF, AMS and AES already run in GoFreight today. The coverage table above lists every entry type with its status.
Can you handle PGA entries — FDA, USDA and the rest?
Yes, from launch. GoFreight reads the commodity, populates the required data set and validates it before submission, across the agencies most import desks touch.
What about IEEPA refunds and post-entry work?
Post-summary corrections, protests and reconciliation are available at launch. If refund recovery is a significant revenue line for you today, tell us on the call — it changes which cohort we put you in and when you go live.
What happens when CBP changes a message format?
Format and rule changes are maintained in the filing engine and delivered to you. There's no patch to schedule and no version to upgrade. The filing register above is a running record of how that has worked through 2026.
Do I have to move my freight operations to GoFreight too?
Customs Management is designed to run on the same shipment record as GoFreight's freight forwarding platform — that's the entire point of it. If your freight operations sit elsewhere today, that's a bigger conversation than a customs module, and we'll be straight with you about whether it's worth it.
We file in Canada, Mexico and the EU as well. Does this work?
Not today. Customs Management is U.S. filing. If multi-country declarations are core to your business, a global customs suite is the right tool and we'll say so.
Stop paying to keep your entries somewhere else.
Thirty minutes. We'll show you an entry built from a live shipment record, the validation before transmit, and the CBP response landing back on the file. Then we'll model your current per-entry cost against ours.
