The $50,000 Papercut: How General Order Dominates Customs

66%
General Order

An analysis of 1,000 closed customs compliance cases revealed one dominant theme.

Cargo isn't cleared, moved, or updated in time—triggering costly CBP administrative actions that spiral into storage fees, seizure risks, and operational chaos.

66%
Referenced "General Order" or "CBP Issued 1S Order"
63%
Specifically "CBP Issued 1S Order to General Order"—missed clearance deadlines
34%
Reroutes, doc mismatches, and holds—issues that lead to GO if unresolved

This isn't random noise. It's a systematic failure of timing and data. Traditional "reactive" brokerage creates this fire. We prevent the spark.

Built for the 66%: The GO Shield System

Three integrated modules, directly informed by our case analysis, designed to prevent the failures that cause General Order.

Module 1
GO Shield

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.

Module 2
Data Hygiene Engine

The Fixer. ISF/AMS validation and BL/manifest mismatch detection. Addresses the 5% filing error bucket that causes the 66% GO bucket.

Module 3
Exceptions Desk

The Solver. Dedicated handling for holds, exams, and reroutes—the "long tail" we resolve so they don't spiral into GO.

Reactive vs. Preventive: The HontzaClear Difference

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.
