Trusted Customs & Trade Compliance Specialist

The trusted customs and trade compliance partner for African and diaspora-connected SMEs navigating U.S. import systems.

We help African and diaspora-connected small businesses navigate AGOA, CBP requirements, and U.S. product standards — so shipments clear cleanly and duties are paid only where they're owed.

What we do

Three things we do better than anyone else for African and diaspora-connected SMEs.

AGOA & Rules of Origin

Eligibility reviews, Form A guidance, and direct-shipment compliance so duty-free benefits actually land.

HS Classification

Defensible tariff classifications for African-origin goods — textiles, coffee, shea, crafts, cosmetics.

Compliance & Audit Response

Gap assessments, CBP inquiry response, and recordkeeping built to survive Customs review.

AGOA, made simple

7,000+ product lines from sub-Saharan Africa can enter the US duty-free.

Most small importers and cooperatives never claim AGOA — because the paperwork, Rules of Origin, and direct-shipment rules feel impenetrable. We translate them into a checklist you can actually use, and review your documents before they reach CBP.
