FOR CUSTOMS BROKERS
Your licensed hours are the most expensive thing in the shop. Stop spending them on the first pass.
Research is the bottleneck. Judgment is the value. GingerControl compresses the first so your licensed team has more of the second.
The starting point
The bottleneck in most brokerages is not file volume, it is research hours per file. The part of the work where a licensed broker is genuinely irreplaceable is the judgment call, the ruling review, the final sign-off. Everything upstream of that is where margin gets eaten. GingerControl takes the first-pass research off your team's plate so your licensed brokers spend their hours on decisions, not document hunting.
Jobs to be done
A day in the life, rewritten.
- 01
The situation
A client sends over a batch of 40 SKUs. Two are easy, 30 are routine, 8 are genuinely tough.
The job
Give each file the attention it deserves without burning the whole week on the easy ones.
With Ginger
Ginger runs all 40 in parallel, returns candidate HTS codes with reasoning, and flags the tough ones with targeted clarifying questions. Your licensed broker opens the queue and reviews, not researches.
- 02
The situation
Two different brokers on your team classified the same product two different ways last quarter.
The job
Enforce one methodology across the whole shop without turning it into a training program.
With Ginger
Ginger runs the same GRI engine on every file. Two brokers asking Ginger the same question get the same reasoning chain. Consistency becomes a feature of the tool, not a meeting topic.
- 03
The situation
A client asks why their product was classified the way it was.
The job
Answer in language the client understands, not in customs jargon.
With Ginger
Every classification comes with a plain-English rationale formatted for client communication. Forward it, paste it into the entry notes, or drop it into a ruling request draft.
The proof
What changes, in numbers.
Up to 20x
faster first-pass classification per SKU
Manual research runs 30 minutes to 2 hours per SKU. Ginger's iterative convergence lands at 5 to 6 minutes, keeping your licensed hours on judgment calls, not research.
100,000+
classifications processed per day on the Ginger API
Batch-grade throughput for brokerages that need to scale, not just classify. Parallel processing supports PDF, JPG, and XLSX input.
