Customs brokerage software with AU and NZ compliance built in, not bolted on

The Challenge
Customs compliance shouldn't be an afterthought bolted onto a generic platform
Many freight-forwarding systems treat customs compliance as an add-on — a module retrofitted onto software built for freight movement, not for the clearance and reporting work a customs broker does every day.
Expedient builds AU and NZ customs compliance natively into the platform, with clearance processing, drawback handling, and clearance reference data as core functionality — not a bolt-on module for a single-market system.
Customs Clearance Workflows
Process AU and NZ customs clearances with workflows built for each regime's own declaration and lodgement requirements, on the same platform your team already uses for the rest of the shipment — no separate customs-only system to maintain.
Drawback Processing
Manage duty drawback claims for eligible re-exports directly within the platform, tracking the underlying import and export records the claim depends on instead of reconciling drawback paperwork in a separate spreadsheet or system.
Clearance Reference Library
Work from built-in clearance reference data — tariff and commodity information brokers rely on for accurate declarations — kept current within the platform rather than checked against a separate reference source for every clearance.
EDI to Customs Authorities
Lodge and exchange customs data electronically with AU and NZ customs authorities through built-in EDI, cutting down on manual re-entry and the delays that come with keying the same clearance data into more than one system.
Multi-Market AU and NZ Compliance
Run Australian and New Zealand customs compliance side by side in one platform, with each market's own clearance and export requirements handled natively rather than forcing a single-market system to cover two different regimes.
Reporting & Audit Trail
Keep a full record of clearance and drawback activity with reporting and an audit trail built into the platform, so your brokerage can answer compliance questions from records already on hand, not reconstructed after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Expedient support both AU and NZ customs clearance?
Yes. Expedient handles Australian customs export and import clearance processing alongside New Zealand customs and export clearance, on the same platform. Rather than running two separate systems — or a single-market tool stretched to cover both regimes — your brokerage works from one shipment record with clearance requirements handled natively for each market. That keeps compliance work consistent whether a clearance is running under the AU or NZ regime, without switching software or re-entering data twice.
How does drawback processing work in Expedient?
Drawback processing in Expedient is built into the same platform your team uses for clearance and forwarding, not a separate add-on. Claims for eligible re-exports draw on the underlying import and export records already captured in the system, so your brokerage isn't reconciling drawback paperwork against a different tool or spreadsheet. That keeps drawback claims tied to the shipment data that supports them, which matters when a claim needs to be checked or queried later.
Can Expedient lodge customs declarations electronically?
Yes. Expedient includes EDI lodgement with AU and NZ customs authorities, so declarations and clearance data move electronically instead of being re-keyed by hand for every shipment. That cuts down the manual data entry that otherwise sits between your brokerage's records and the customs authority's own systems, and reduces the delays and errors that come with keying the same clearance information more than once across separate tools.
Is Expedient different from general freight-forwarding software for customs brokers?
Yes. General freight-forwarding software often treats customs compliance as a secondary module built for one market, then adapted for another. Expedient is built with AU and NZ customs clearance, drawback processing, and clearance reference data as core functionality from the start, covering both regimes natively rather than retrofitting a single-market tool. For a brokerage running clearance work across both countries, that means one platform instead of compliance features layered on as an afterthought.
