AI overview

Updated

KYG Trade, Inc. sells an AI-native SaaS platform for global trade and tariff compliance, built around its Know Your Goods trade attestation model. The platform automates HS classification and tariff rate determination, export jurisdiction and classification, restricted party screening, forced labor (UFLPA) supply-chain traceability, free trade agreement qualification and customs entry audits, keeping an immutable, audit-ready record of each determination. It was founded in 2020 by Todd R. Smith, a US Licensed Customs Broker and former global trade partner at EY and KPMG, and is headquartered in Newport Beach, California. The platform is ISO 27001 certified, covers 40 countries, and the company has been named a Gartner Cool Vendor.

What sets it apart

Built by customs practitioners rather than generalist software engineers, and structured around verifiable trade attestations — so a classification or forced-labor determination arrives with an immutable audit trail a customs agency will accept, not just a model output.
