Trade File Intelligence for Customs Brokers.

Nort uses AI to build a trusted Golden Record for every shipment. Connecting documents, data, exceptions, and decisions in one Trade File.

A shipment does not arrive as a Golden Record.

It arrives as invoices, packing lists, manifests, certificates, emails, spreadsheets, and conflicting versions of the same facts. Entry writers must reconstruct the shipment before they can begin entry work.

Without Nort

The shipment lives across disconnected documents.

The Trade File is the shipment's Golden Record.

Nort uses AI to build and maintain one living, auditable record for the shipment. The Trade File keeps documents, extracted facts, source evidence, exceptions, ownership, and human decisions connected without replacing the original evidence.

Anatomy of a Trade File

One record, built in three layers.

01
EvidenceWhat arrived?

Source documents + extracted data

02
IntelligenceWhat needs attention?

Conflicts + open exceptions

03
AccountabilityWhat was decided?

Broker decisions + audit history

How it works

From document receipt to broker review.

Five steps. Source evidence remains traceable through each one.

Human control

Nort prepares the Trade File. The broker makes the decision.

Nort organizes information and surfaces exceptions for human review. It does not replace the licensed customs broker or silently decide how a conflict should be resolved.

Starting with customs brokers. Built as AI-native compliance infrastructure.

Trade File Intelligence is Nort's approach to building and maintaining the shipment's Golden Record. Instead of reconstructing the shipment for every task, each workflow begins from the same Trade File and its source evidence.

Nort starts with packet review for customs brokers. Over time, the same Golden Record can support entry preparation, compliance review, reconciliation, file close, reporting, and other cross-border workflows.

Why we're building Nort.

Global trade depends on decisions made from fragmented evidence. AI can make compliance faster, but only if every output remains traceable and every decision remains accountable.
