The Problem
Compliance bottlenecks are a hidden killer:
- Missing export licenses or incomplete COAs
- Falsified documents or unverified seller credentials
- No pre-shipment inspection report
- Contracts with unclear liability
- Unknown or untraceable product origin
- Tax or customs disputes due to doc mismatches
These issues lead to blocked containers, delayed payments, and legal or financial disputes that can kill a deal before it starts — or after it's already shipped.
Why Compliance Fails
- No Standardized Process
Everyone follows a different playbook — or none at all. This leads to inconsistent documentation and risk exposure for both sides.
- No required document sets
- No standard inspection protocols
- No clarity on who’s liable if things go wrong
- Trust-Based Deals with No Safeguards
Most cross-border trades still rely on personal trust, which breaks down quickly under pressure — especially when documents don’t match or cargo is held up.
- Fake exporters and unverifiable buyers
- Disputes with no clear path to resolution
- No financial safety net for buyer or seller
- Manual Work = Delays and Errors
Emails, WhatsApp chats, PDF attachments — compliance gets lost in the shuffle, causing missed steps and missed deadlines.
- Port holds due to doc errors
- Payment delays from compliance flags
- Cargo at risk due to lack of verification
