Trava

Trava is an AI compliance platform for US importers that reviews customs entries and product data for duty and classification accuracy. It audits past entries to surface overpaid duties, uncover refunds, and flag underpaid duties before penalties arise, while monitoring new shipments automatically without changes to existing processes. Trava is a software provider, not a broker, and does not file entries, corrections, or paperwork with CBP.

The platform connects directly to PLM/ERP systems to pull customs entry and product master data, and also accepts manual uploads or secure file transfers. Its Entry Audits module surfaces duty issues across historical and new entries, while the Classification Copilot proposes HTS codes with documented reasoning and citations for one-click approval and handoff to a broker. Audit calculations are produced by a deterministic rule engine with AI-assisted research for interpreting regulatory and source documentation, and corrections are reviewed by compliance experts. A Tariff Engineering module, identifying lawful product design changes to reduce duty exposure, is listed as coming soon. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Trava is built for US importers seeking to recover margin while maintaining compliance, and is offered through early access and a waitlist for the Tariff Engineering feature.
