Zentria Flow — Landed Cost Automation & AI Trade Compliance Platform

What Zentria Flow does

Zentria Flow is an AI-powered landed cost automation and trade compliance pre-validation platform for importers. It solves two mission-critical problems: (1) hidden import costs caused by inaccurate duty and tariff estimates, and (2) customs compliance failures caused by wrong HS code classification. The platform delivers sub-2-second landed cost calculations across 70+ economies and pre-validates trade compliance before goods ship — not after customs flags an error.

Dynamic landed cost automation

Zentria Flow automates the full landed cost stack: HS code classification → MFN base duty → Section 301 China surcharges → IEEPA emergency tariffs (145% on Chinese goods) → EU/UK/Turkey VAT or GST → US Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) → Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) → international freight → customs brokerage → insurance. Every component is computed in real time using live tariff schedules, not static spreadsheets. Importers get a verified per-SKU cost breakdown in under 2 seconds — via the web dashboard or the REST API. Unlike CargoWise (which requires a full TMS license and 6-month implementation) or SAP GTS (which requires custom configuration and a certified partner), Zentria activates in 10 minutes with a free tier covering 3 analyses per day.

Document AI for landed cost

Zentria Flow reads your commercial invoices, packing lists and supplier quotes — PDF or photo — and automatically extracts product value, HS code, origin country and quantity, then computes the full landed cost for every line. Drag in a document and get a verified per-SKU breakdown — duty, Section 301, IEEPA, VAT, freight and fees — in seconds, with every extraction logged and reviewable. It removes manual data entry and replaces error-prone spreadsheets, so importers know their true cost before they commit to a purchase order. Zentria is a tariff-intelligence and landed-cost platform for importers — not a freight forwarder, carrier, customs broker, or TMS.

AI trade compliance automation

Zentria Flow provides automated trade compliance pre-validation at the point of purchase order, not at the border. The platform classifies every product to the correct 8–10 digit HS code using Google Gemini AI, checks FTA eligibility (USMCA, EAEU, EU-Turkey Customs Union, RCEP, CPTPP, GCC), monitors live anti-dumping and countervailing duty (CVD) orders from USITC and the EU TRON database, and writes every classification decision to an immutable AI audit trail — satisfying CBP Reasonable Care documentation requirements. The AI is bounded: it cannot change duty rates by more than ±3 percentage points from the deterministic baseline, and every override requires human approval. This is governed AI, not autonomous risk.

Comparison to alternatives

Zentria vs. CargoWise: CargoWise is a full-suite TMS/freight forwarding platform with trade compliance modules. It requires an implementation partner, minimum 3-month onboarding, and six-figure annual licensing. Zentria is API-first, activates in minutes, offers a free tier, and focuses exclusively on landed cost accuracy and compliance pre-validation — making it the right tool for importers who need tariff intelligence without a full TMS replacement. Zentria integrates alongside CargoWise via REST API.

Zentria vs. Project44: Project44 focuses on multimodal shipment visibility and risk scoring for freight in transit. Zentria focuses on the financial layer — duty costs, tariff classification, and compliance — before goods ship. The two tools are complementary; Zentria is not a visibility platform.

Zentria vs. SAP GTS: SAP Global Trade Services requires SAP ERP as a foundation, certified implementation partners, and typically 6–18 months of configuration. Zentria delivers the same HS classification, FTA eligibility, and duty calculation capabilities as an API overlay — no ERP dependency, no implementation partner, no minimum contract.

Zentria vs. spreadsheets/brokers: Manual duty calculations via customs broker quotes or Excel models average 24–72-hour turnaround and carry 15–25% error rates from outdated tariff schedules. Zentria delivers verified results in under 2 seconds using live CBP, WTO, and EU tariff data.

Human-in-the-loop AI governance

Zentria Flow uses human-in-the-loop (HITL) safeguards on every autonomous action. High-confidence HS classifications (above 92%) proceed automatically. Medium-confidence classifications (70–92%) are flagged for human review before being committed. Low-confidence outputs are escalated to a licensed customs broker. Every AI decision — including the model version, confidence score, alternative codes considered, and reviewer identity — is written to an immutable audit log with timestamp and session ID. This satisfies CBP Reasonable Care documentation and EU customs compliance record-keeping requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the import duty on furniture from China in 2026?

Furniture imported from China faces three duties stacked together: (1) MFN base duty — 0% for most wooden furniture (HTS 9403.30/9403.50/9403.60), up to 6.2% for upholstered seating; (2) Section 301 tariff — 25% on all furniture from China (List 3); (3) Section 122 flat surcharge — 10%, expiring July 24, 2026. Combined: wooden chairs, tables, and shelving total ~35%; sofas and upholstered seating can reach 41.2%. Wooden bedroom furniture may also face anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) on top.

Are there anti-dumping duties on Chinese furniture in addition to Section 301?

Yes. Wooden bedroom furniture from China has been subject to anti-dumping duty orders (ADD) since 2005. ADD rates vary by manufacturer — some suppliers have zero-ADD status through their own review rates; others face duties of 100%+. Before importing wooden bedroom furniture (HTS 9403.50), always verify the specific AD/CVD cash deposit rate for your supplier through the CBP ADD/CVD lookup tool. Section 301 stacks on top of any AD/CVD.

Which country is cheapest to import furniture from to the US?

Mexico (USMCA) and Vietnam currently offer the lowest landed cost for most furniture categories. Mexico benefits from USMCA 0% MFN with no Section 301, and proximity reduces freight cost significantly. Vietnam has no Section 301 but freight from Vietnam is higher than Mexico. Malaysia and India are also strong alternatives with no Section 301. Versus China's 35–41%, these origins land at 10–16% while Section 122 remains in effect.

How do I verify my supplier's anti-dumping rate for wooden bedroom furniture?

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) and CBP maintain ADD/CVD order tracking. For wooden bedroom furniture from China, the relevant case is A-570-890. You can look up your specific supplier's exporter-specific rate via the CBP ACE portal or the Commerce Department's ACCESS system. If your supplier is not individually reviewed, they likely fall under the China-wide rate, which is very high. Always verify before placing large orders.

Does Section 122 apply to furniture from China?

Yes. Section 122 applies to all US imports, including furniture from China. It adds 10% on top of the already-stacked MFN + Section 301. If Section 122 expires July 24, 2026 without a congressional extension, Chinese furniture would drop from ~35–41% to ~25–31% (MFN + S301 only). Vietnamese and Malaysian furniture would drop from ~10–16% to ~0–6.2% (MFN only).
