·Where Align sits

The audit window is short.

Traditional sampling leaves most entries untouched. By the time an issue surfaces, the correction window has closed.

Today

Sampled. Quarterly. Too late.

Most entries go unchecked until the window to fix them has closed.

With Align

Every entry. Within 24 hours.

Align checks filings against your data and rules, catching missed FTAs, exclusions, stacking, and valuation issues while you can still act.

  1. ENTRY
  2. 10 business days — change without PSC
  3. SUMMARY
  4. LIQUIDATION
01Capabilities

Automated. Thorough. No one watching.

Four things Align does that a team of reviewers cannot.

01

Your rules, enforced automatically

You set the standard once. Every entry is measured against it, and the ones that breach it are caught without anyone watching.

02

It handles the broker for you

Align notifies your broker before summary, drives the correction, and sees the fix through. The emails and follow-up happen on their own.

03

Routed to the right remediation

PSC, reconciliation, or protest. Align knows which is which, and sends each issue where it gets resolved.

04

Down to the part

Every entry audited across your entire import operation, to the detail of a single part, without adding a person.

02Every entry accounted for

Nothing left to chance.
