Build your entries on the same platform as U.S. Customs.

CBP partnered with Tru to modernize how entries are reviewed. Our partnership gives importers, brokers, and CBP one shared standard for entry data. Build to the standard before you file, prove responsible control over your supply chain, and clear with fewer holds.

What the Program gives you:

  • Screening against the same compliance data CBP references
  • Your master data cleaned, validated, and filing-ready
  • Continuous monitoring that keeps you compliant as rules change

Applications are limited. Due to increased demand, August intakes are full. Submit now to be welcomed to the program in September.
