Customs and Trade Event Intelligence
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Importers have no real-time visibility into customs clearance status. Shipments sit in customs hold without notification. FTZ processing is a black box. Border crossings generate dwell without alerting operations.
Import/Export Manager, Customs Compliance Manager, Logistics Manager
The Outcome (After)
Real-time visibility into customs clearance, customs holds, FTZ processing, and border crossing events across air and ocean shipments with granular customs event mapping.
Other platforms track shipments to the port but lose visibility during customs processing. FourKites provides granular customs and FTZ event tracking with real-time notifications.

Common hold reasons by commodity type
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.
Other platforms track shipments to the port but lose visibility during customs processing. FourKites provides granular customs and FTZ event tracking with real-time notifications. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company global movement intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
