For customs brokers, freight forwarders, and trade compliance teams
You either spend your days chasing supplier documents through inboxes or untangling product-specific rules of origin in Excel. Sometimes both. Neither process should be this manual, this slow, or this hard to defend when a regulator comes asking.
Kendrick Trade builds tools that fix these exact problems. No platform bloat. No digital transformation speeches. Just a USMCA qualification engine that tells you if a product qualifies and why, and a document solicitation system that gets supplier data collected, extracted, and audit-ready without a single email chain.
Purpose-built for the way brokers, forwarders, and compliance teams actually operate.
Supplier documents land in inboxes, shared drives, WhatsApp threads, and the occasional fax machine. Every free trade agreement requires a different set of data. Every supplier has a different idea of what "complete" looks like. Brokers spend hours cross-referencing PDFs against regulatory checklists, then more hours chasing the gaps. Deadlines pass. Shipments stall. The audit trail is a folder full of unversioned files and prayer.
When Customs asks for supporting documentation on a claim made eighteen months ago, someone opens a spreadsheet, scrolls through six months of emails, and hopes the attachment they saved is the final version. Spoiler: it usually isn't.
That's not a process. That's a liability.
USMCA qualification means tracing materials across regional value content thresholds, tariff shifts, and de minimis carve-outs — for every product, every supplier, every update. Most teams do this in Excel. Some use a template someone built in 2019 and never validated. Others rebuild the analysis from scratch each time because the rules changed, the supplier portfolio changed, or the person who understood the spreadsheet left.
One miscalculated net cost. One misclassified subcomponent from a non-originating supplier. One assumption nobody documented. And suddenly fifty shipments have claims that won't survive a verification audit. The broker signed off on it. The importer relied on it. The penalties belong to both of them.
Excel doesn't keep an audit trail. Regulators don't care.
Which problem do you need solved first?
Stop building RVC formulas from scratch and second-guessing product-specific rules of origin. Kendrick Trade USMCA walks you through a structured, component-level breakdown of your product, checks every part against a maintained rules database, and delivers a clear answer: qualifies or doesn't qualify.
The output includes the specific rule applied and a plain-English rationale you can hand directly to a broker, a compliance officer, or a customs auditor. No spreadsheet. No guesswork. No "trust me" in an email.
What you get:
Retire the PDF attachment. Document Solicitation replaces email chains with a structured digital workflow built specifically for free trade agreement documentation. You select an FTA template or build a custom form, send a secure link to your supplier, and let them respond however works for them: fill out the form online, add an e-signature, or upload a photo of a paper certificate.
When they upload a scan, our AI reads it and maps the data into the right fields. You review, approve or reject with a clear reason, and move on. Every action logged. Every submission audit-ready from the moment it arrives.
What you get:
Both tools work standalone. Both work better together.
Built for how you actually work
The USMCA rules engine isn't a one-time upload of a government PDF. Product-specific rules of origin, tariff shift requirements, and RVC thresholds change. We maintain a dedicated update cadence so the qualification logic reflects what customs authorities actually enforce. When you get a determination, you're working off current rules, not last year's appendix.
Most suppliers won't adopt new software. They won't create an account. They won't read instructions. We accepted that reality and built around it. When a supplier uploads a photo of a paper certificate or a scan of a filled-in form, our AI reads it, extracts the relevant data, and maps it to the correct fields. Your team retypes nothing. The supplier just clicks submit. Compliance moves forward without friction.
Every action in both tools is captured in a permanent, unalterable log. Who sent the solicitation, when the supplier responded, what data they provided, what was approved, what was rejected and why. For USMCA, the specific rule applied and the exact data that triggered the result. When CBP or CBSA comes asking, you don't rebuild a record. You export one that already exists.
No assembly required. No panic later.
Who it's for
Kendrick Trade isn't a platform for the C-suite dashboard addict. It's for the people on the front lines of trade compliance — the ones who file the paperwork, qualify the goods, and answer the auditor's questions.
You're the one signing off on claims that have to survive a CBP audit. USMCA qualification shouldn't depend on a spreadsheet someone emailed you in 2019. Document Solicitation shouldn't mean forwarding PDFs back and forth until someone gives up. Kendrick Trade gives you qualification results you can defend and supplier documentation that's collected, structured, and audit-ready without a single email chain.
Your customers expect you to know whether their goods qualify for preferential treatment — and to have the paperwork ready when Customs asks. That's hard when the rules change, the suppliers ghost you, and the person who understood the analysis moved on. Kendrick Trade makes USMCA decisions fast and supplier document collection automated, so you can tell your customers "yes, we have it covered" and mean it.
Your job is to make sure every claim is correct before it's filed, every document is complete before it's submitted, and every audit trail exists before anyone asks for it. You're tired of being the person who has to explain that the spreadsheet was wrong. Kendrick Trade builds the audit trail from the first click, applies the rules consistently, and gives you a record you can export — not reconstruct.
If you're the one who has to get it right, this is for you.
