A new customs environment
Your old audit process was designed for a world that no longer exists.
Periodic sampling and visual review can tell you whether a filing looks plausible. They cannot reliably validate the transformation from commercial invoice to customs entry—and they often find problems after the correction window has closed.
Replace review with verificationRetrospective
Monthly or quarterly audits discover historical liabilities, not operational exceptions.
Manual
Human comparison limits coverage and pulls specialists into repetitive alignment work.
Incomplete
Reviewing a subset of fields misses the logic, conversions, and consolidations behind the filing.
How automated entry verification works
Two independent records. One automated comparison.
3rdwave creates an expected entry from source documents and approved master data, retrieves what was filed, and routes only meaningful discrepancies for resolution.
