Clear. Compliant. Customs. Handled.
SavvyBroker is ShipSavvy’s built-in brokerage solution that clears both informal and formal entries without delays, confusion, or third-party fees. Whether you are shipping apparel from China or electronics from Vietnam, SavvyBroker handles customs the smart way, right inside your ShipSavvy dashboard.
When SavvyBroker Kicks In
SavvyBroker automatically activates when your shipment requires a formal or non-reportable customs entry (for example, certain apparel items from China or Vietnam).
No guesswork:
Enter your product’s country of origin and description.
If the shipment qualifies, SavvyBroker is selected by default with no extra steps.
Note: If you have chosen a UPS Store drop-off, you will need to reselect another drop-off option. UPS Store locations do not support formal entry.
HTS Codes, Simplified
With customs, your HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) code is critical. SavvyBroker makes it simple:
Auto-Detect or Enter Manually: Know your HTS code? Enter it. Not sure? Click “Get HTS Code” to use Zonos’ API for recommendations.
Confidence Rating: See if the suggestion is High, Moderate, or Low confidence before you accept.
Saved for Next Time: Once validated, your product and HTS code are remembered for faster future shipments.
Manufacturer ID (MID) Made Easy
If your product’s HTS code requires a Manufacturer Identification Number (MID), SavvyBroker will prompt you:
Textiles from China require the manufacturer’s actual address in China.
Other products often allow you to use your own warehouse or shipper address.
Where possible, SavvyBroker pre-fills the MID to save you time.
Speed Up with Product Catalogs
Ship the same SKUs often? Save them in your Product Catalog with HTS codes, descriptions, and default values.
Next time you ship:
Select a saved product.
All fields auto-fill, including customs validation.
The catalog also supports imports, making repeat shipments easier to manage.
Real-Time Duty Estimates
Enter product value, HTS, and origin country.
Get accurate duty and tax estimates directly in the dashboard.
Rates update automatically as rules change.
Pickup and Drop-Off Rules
SavvyBroker shipments must be dropped off at ShipSavvy partner facilities. UPS Stores are not supported for formal entries.
Local pickups are available in supported warehouse zones such as Slave Lake and Commando.
Fully Self-Serve
No emails. No spreadsheets. No third-party portals.
SavvyBroker lives inside your ShipSavvy dashboard. Everything from product setup to customs clearance is automated.
Just ship and grow without borders.
