Build a Customs Compliance App with Glide

Customs compliance errors — misclassification, undervaluation, country-of-origin mistakes — trigger audits, penalties, and costly duty reviews. GlideApps Agency builds customs compliance apps that help importers maintain accurate tariff classifications, manage broker communications, track duty payments, and prepare for CBP audits. We've built customs compliance tools for importers across retail, manufacturing, and distribution.

What does building a Customs Compliance app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Customs Compliance app

HTS Classification Register

Maintain your HTS classification register by product with binding ruling references, classification rationales, and change history — providing the documentation foundation for CBP audit defense.

Entry Review Tracking

Log and track post-entry reviews, protest filings, and duty payment records — maintaining a complete history of your import transactions available for CBP audit or prior disclosure preparation.

Broker Management

Track customs broker performance, power of attorney documentation, and communication records — ensuring your brokers are filing accurately and you have visibility into your import activity.

Duty Drawback Tracking

Track eligible duty drawback claims by entry — documenting manufacturing, substitution, and rejected merchandise drawback opportunities to maximize duty recovery.

Who uses a Customs Compliance app?

+A fashion retailer manages HTS classifications for 3,000+ SKUs in the app — classification decisions are documented with rationales, and the customs compliance team reviews classifications annually for accuracy.
+A medical device importer uses the app to track FDA admissibility documentation, HTS classifications, and entry review history — when CBP issues an inquiry, the compliance team has everything they need in one place.
+An electronics distributor tracks antidumping duty exposure across multiple product categories and countries of origin — the app flags high-risk transactions for enhanced review before entries are filed.

Frequently asked questions about Customs Compliance apps

How does the app help us prepare for a CBP CF-28 or CF-29?+
When CBP issues a request for information (CF-28) or a notice of action (CF-29), your app provides immediate access to the relevant entry records, classification rationales, and supporting documentation — enabling faster, more complete responses.
Can the app track first sale valuation documentation?+
Yes. We build first sale valuation documentation tracking into the app — managing the factory invoices, proof of sale to middleman, and other supporting documents needed to support first sale valuation on eligible transactions.
How do we manage antidumping and countervailing duty exposure?+
We build AD/CVD scope tracking into the app — flagging products and suppliers subject to AD/CVD orders, tracking cash deposit rates, and managing scope ruling requests for ambiguous products.
Does the app support importer self-assessment (ISA) program requirements?+
Yes. We build ISA compliance tracking into the app — managing your internal controls documentation, transaction monitoring results, and annual self-testing — to support your ISA compliance obligations.
Can the app integrate with our customs entry data?+
Glide apps can receive data from customs management systems, broker portals, or ACE reports. We typically build automated data ingestion to populate your compliance database without manual entry.
