- Automatically classify products for customs: Cofactr leverages its extensive data on millions of components to automatically fill in HTS codes and country-of-origin (verified by packing slips and compliance documentation at receipt) for its customers, ensuring components are correctly classified and will only be subject to tariffs if needed. This also ensures that manufacturers can easily calculate unit costs, considering tariffs that apply to them, in real-time to avoid any surprise costs.

- Ready documentation for regulatory processes: With every part of a product’s supply journey now tracked–and with all the necessary records in one place–manufacturers can easily prepare all of the documentation needed to submit duty drawbacks, claim temporary import bonding, and manage the de minimis exemptions.


“Manufacturers often don’t know there’s an issue with their shipment until it’s being held up by customs—and it could be for something as simple as a misclassified part or a single blank space among a stack of documents, but by then they’re already facing fines and production delays,” said Matthew Haber, Co-founder and CEO of Cofactr. “Cofactr prevents these problems before they happen by identifying potential risks early, tracking shipments in real-time, and resolving issues if they arise. Every U.S. manufacturer is in some way impacted by these new tariffs and we’re making it easier to navigate so they can bring their focus back to innovation.”

Cofactr’s current client roster includes Amazon Robotics, Stoke Space, Summit Interconnect and more. Within Cofactr’s single platform, companies can manage parts sourcing, handle supplier procurement through a vetted network of U.S.-compliant suppliers, approve and pay for orders, move items between vendors, track shipments in real-time, monitor stock availability, and move data between other systems with robust integrations.
