How it works

From flat file to money back, in four steps

No integration, no months-long consulting engagement. Every engagement follows the same path: from the first file you send to leakage that stays closed.

Step 01 · Day 0

Send us your data

Export read-only flat files, import entries, freight invoices, and purchase orders, and send them over. No integration, no IT project.

Step 02 · Within 48 hours

Get your first number

Our AI re-reasons every duty decision on your entries, 100% of them, not the 2% a team can sample. Within 48 hours you know how much your trade is leaking.

Step 03 · Within two weeks

See the full readout

A complete leakage and exposure map across every market you trade in: overpaid duty, freight overcharges, purchase-order price variance, and penalty exposure. Every leak on the map has a dedicated service to claw the money back. If we find less than the Assessment costs, you don't pay.

Step 04 · Ongoing

Get it back, keep it fixed

Every dollar is documented to filing grade, or we hand your existing broker a package that is ready to file.

Or make it stop leaking for good

Through these three services we build the audit system inside your own walls: data keeps flowing in, every new entry, invoice, and purchase order is re-checked automatically, policy changes are tracked as they land, and your team monitors it all from a system you own.

How practitioners see GingerControl

No compliance team on earth reviews 100% of its entries. This does.

For the years I ran customs compliance, post-entry review meant sampling: pull a slice of entries, hope it is representative, and accept that whatever falls outside it stays invisible.

GingerControl re-reasons the classification and valuation call on every single entry, the way a human reviewer would, and shows its work. It is not an audit of your people, it is the second reader every trade team has been missing.

Answering Questions

Everything explained to get you started.

If you have other questions, reach out to our team, we’re happy to help!

What is AI-automated trade compliance?

+

It’s building AI systems that handle the work compliance teams do manually today: HTS classification, tariff calculation, export control screening, policy monitoring, and audit documentation. GingerControl builds AI-powered trade compliance infrastructure and provides professional-grade tools through our Live AI Compliance Hub, trusted by licensed customs brokers and compliance managers.

Can I trust AI for compliance decisions that carry legal liability?

+

GingerControl is an HTS classification researcher, not a replacement for customs brokers or legal counsel. Per CBP Ruling HQ H290535, providing HTS classifications beyond 6 digits for specific goods intended for importation constitutes "customs business" under 19 U.S.C. § 1641 and requires a licensed customs broker. GingerControl’s research results are for general reference, educational, and planning purposes only, designed to enable better communication between trade compliance teams, importers, and licensed customs brokers. Results must not be used directly in customs entry documents without independent review by a licensed customs broker. The AI delivers the rigor, your team makes the call.

Does Gingercontrol replace our customs broker or GTM?

+

No. We work alongside them. Your broker still files entries. Your GTM still manages trade operations. Gingercontrol offers two paths: an AI trade compliance agent that handles classification, monitoring, reclassification, and alerts autonomously, or an AI-native GTM platform that integrates directly with your ERP and existing systems. Either way, we fit into your current workflow, not instead of it.

Is my product data secure?

+

Encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not use customer data to train models or share it with third parties. Enterprise customers piloting the AI agent can request dedicated environments and custom data retention policies.

How accurate is the AI-powered HTS classification researcher?

+

Every research result includes a confidence score, full GRI reasoning, and the applicable duty rate. The tool has been tested across automotive parts, electronics, chemicals, furniture, machinery, textiles, and other product categories. You review the AI’s logic before using any code. When a product could fall under multiple headings, the AI flags it and presents the top candidates with reasoning. Nothing is applied silently. We recommend confirming with your customs broker.

Who is Gingercontrol built for?

+

Our Live AI Compliance Hub is built for trade compliance practitioners who demand accuracy: compliance managers, licensed customs brokers, supply chain leaders, and procurement teams across industries like automotive, electronics, chemicals, and more. Our AI agent is built for import-heavy manufacturers who also export, especially mid-market and enterprise teams managing large product catalogs across HTS and export control classifications.

What does Gingercontrol cost?

+

GingerControl’s Live AI Compliance Hub is available to try immediately. For businesses looking to pilot a dedicated AI trade compliance agent, we offer a structured pilot program scoped to your needs. For full enterprise deployments including consulting, custom system build, ERP integration, and ongoing operations support, talk to our team to discuss your requirements.

What makes Gingercontrol different from other compliance tools?

+

Most tools use text matching to compare product descriptions against HTS code descriptions. GingerControl uses GRI legal reasoning. Our AI autonomously detects when a product triggers GRI 3(b), conducts essential character analysis using Carborundum factors, and asks questions derived from the legal framework, not from HTS text. Our team includes professionals shaped by organizations like Flexport, SAP, Oracle, Thomson Reuters, E2open, Descartes, RTX, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. We also build custom compliance automation systems that monitor regulations, reclassify products when codes shift, and alert your team continuously.

What is duty leakage?

+

Duty leakage is the money a company overpays, or fails to recover, across its import operation without knowing it. The three most common sources are unaudited import entries with wrong HTS codes or missed exclusions, freight and other charges misdeclared into customs value, and purchase orders that never get reconciled against what was actually entered. On $10M of annual duty spend, every 1% of leakage recovered is $100,000. GingerControl’s AI audit layer re-reasons every entry to find the leakage and closes it at the source, in every market you trade in.

How do I find out how much my company is overpaying in duties?

+

Start with a two-week Assessment. GingerControl runs your entry data, freight charges, and purchase orders through its AI audit layer and hands back a documented number: the leakage found, in dollars, with the evidence behind each finding. We identify and document the opportunities; your licensed customs broker or counsel files the recovery. The number is yours either way, with no obligation to proceed.
