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.

Philippines Import Duty & Tariff Guide 2026

The Philippines is the world's major hub for electronics manufacturing and assembly, with semiconductor and PCB exports entering the US at 0% MFN under the Information Technology Agreement. No Section 301 tariffs apply. In 2026, Section 122 adds a flat 10% surcharge (expiring July 24) — the only duty on most Philippine electronics.

Philippines Import Duty — FAQs

Does the US have a free trade agreement with the Philippines?

No — the US and Philippines do not have a bilateral free trade agreement. Philippine goods enter the US under MFN (most-favored-nation) rates. The US GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) program has historically covered some Philippine goods, but apparel — the Philippines' largest non-electronics export — was excluded from GSP. Electronics and semiconductors benefit from the Information Technology Agreement (ITA), which brings MFN rates to 0% regardless of GSP.

Why are Philippine electronics imported duty-free?

The Information Technology Agreement (ITA), a WTO plurilateral agreement, sets the MFN duty rate to 0% for a broad list of electronic products — semiconductors, PCBs, flat panels, storage devices, and many components. The Philippines is a major electronics manufacturing hub (electronics account for over 55% of Philippine exports to the US), and virtually all of these products fall under ITA coverage. In 2026, the Section 122 flat 10% surcharge is the only duty that applies on top.

Is the Philippines subject to Section 301 tariffs?

No. Section 301 tariffs target Chinese-origin goods only. Philippine goods are not subject to Section 301. This makes the Philippines a competitive China-alternative sourcing hub — especially for electronics and garments, where Chinese goods face an additional 7.5–25% duty on top of MFN rates.

Is the Philippines subject to Section 122?

Yes. The flat 10% Section 122 surcharge applies to all imports, including Philippine goods. Electronics that previously entered at true 0% now face an effective 10% duty until Section 122 expires July 24, 2026. If it expires, Philippine electronics return to 0%.

Is the Philippines a growing electronics sourcing alternative to China?

Yes. The Philippines has been expanding its electronics manufacturing capacity, particularly in Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas export processing zones. Companies like Texas Instruments, Intel (packaging/test), Analog Devices, and many Japanese manufacturers have major Philippine operations. The combination of ITA-covered 0% MFN rates, no Section 301, and competitive labor costs makes the Philippines attractive for electronics assembly and test operations seeking supply chain diversification away from China.

What are the Philippines' largest exports to the US?

Electronics and semiconductors dominate (55%+ of total exports): integrated circuits, PCBs, electronic components. Other significant categories: coconut oil and derivatives, tuna and seafood, pineapples and tropical fruits, apparel and garments, nickel and other minerals, footwear. The Philippines is the world's largest coconut oil exporter and a top tuna exporter.
