Data from 1,000 real customs cases shows 66% of headaches are preventable GO seizures. HontzaClear is the bonded broker built to stop them.
Cargo isn't cleared, moved, or updated in time—triggering costly CBP administrative actions that spiral into storage fees, seizure risks, and operational chaos.
This isn't random noise. It's a systematic failure of timing and data. Traditional "reactive" brokerage creates this fire. We prevent the spark.
Three integrated modules, directly informed by our case analysis, designed to prevent the failures that cause General Order.
The Preventor. Pre-arrival deadline tracking and automated document chasing. Alerts escalate internally to our brokers at day 7, not to you at day 14 when it's too late.
The Fixer. ISF/AMS validation and BL/manifest mismatch detection. Addresses the 5% filing error bucket that causes the 66% GO bucket.
The Solver. Dedicated handling for holds, exams, and reroutes—the "long tail" we resolve so they don't spiral into GO.
| Aspect | Traditional Brokerage | HontzaClear |
|---|---|---|
| GO Response | Reacts after CBP issues 1S Order. You get a problem to solve. | Prevents via pre-arrival readiness. Our brokers get automated tasks to complete missing items. |
| Deadline Tracking | Manual spreadsheets or memory-based. Errors happen at scale. | Automated day-by-day countdown with escalation alerts at day 7, 10, 12. |
| Data Validation | Catch mismatches when CBP rejects the filing. | Pre-submission validation: ISF, AMS, BL/manifest matching before you're on the clock. |
| Status Visibility | Call the broker. Wait for email. Check manually. | Real-time dashboard with live AMS/CBP status codes. SMS/email on every change. |
| Liability | Shared confusion on who files, who's responsible. | We are broker of record. Our bond. Our license. Your protection. |
| Cost Model | Pay for problems: storage fees, late penalties, fire drills. | Pay for prevention: predictable monthly fee + per-entry, no surprise escalations. |
