Every Opportunity Sized. Every Implementation Managed.
Portfolio-scale First Sale and NDC analysis, implementation management, and compliance documentation, so you focus on what requires your expertise.
First Sale and NDCs are powerful but sizing the opportunity, building the documentation, and managing the implementation takes time most firms don't have. LandedEdge handles the infrastructure so your team focuses on strategy and client relationships.
Screen for opportunities. Deliver compliant implementations. Build recurring revenue.
First Sale is a totality-of-the-circumstances test. Whether to pursue it is a professional judgment call. It always has been. LandedEdge gives you everything you need to make it confidently: screening results, savings estimates, NDC alternatives, and a full documentation trail. All organized, all traceable, all in one place.
First Sale and NDCs Side by Side, One Dashboard
Most firms analyze First Sale and NDCs separately. LandedEdge runs both on every upload and presents results side by side so you walk into every client conversation with data on both paths.
First Sale Screening
Upload an entry packet and LandedEdge screens every transaction for First Sale eligibility. The system identifies multi-tier transaction structures, flags qualifying flows, and sizes the savings opportunity before you spend a single hour on manual review. Deterministic engines. Rules-based logic. Every finding traceable to a specific document, a specific data point, and a specific legal standard.
Non-Dutiable Cost Identification
The platform simultaneously identifies non-dutiable charges — freight, insurance, port charges, and other costs that can be lawfully deducted. For some clients NDCs are the primary savings path. For others, they're the bridge while a First Sale program is being built.
Both Paths, One View
The dashboard shows First Sale and NDC results side by side for every flow. You see every path to savings and use your judgment to decide which makes sense for the client.
You Make the Call. We Organize the Data to Make the Right Call.
When the Strategy Is Set, LandedEdge Navigator Manages the Implementation
Once you've decided First Sale is the right path, Navigator manages the implementation. It runs verification checks across Bona Fide Sale, Clearly Destined, Related Parties, Complete Documentation, and Assists & Additions — mapping every check to a specific legal requirement and document. Navigator handles the mechanical verification so you focus on interpreting the findings.
It surfaces what needs to happen.
Navigator shows which checks pass, which are waiting, and exactly which documents will unlock them. The entire implementation roadmap in one place.
It tells you how to fix what needs work.
Every failed check comes with a remediation step: a plain-English explanation of what went wrong and what needs to change. Invoice seller doesn't match the confirmed factory? Navigator flags it and explains the issue. Dates don't sequence properly? Navigator identifies which dates, on which documents, and why it matters. You decide, in the context of everything you know about this client, what to do about it.
It tracks the proof.
As documents arrive and issues resolve, the dashboard updates. Pillars move from gray (can't evaluate yet) to blue (passing, still waiting on more docs) to green (everything checks out). When complete, Navigator freezes the entire analysis into a point-in-time record storing every documented point, every check, every answer.
Start with what you have. Fill in the rest as it arrives.
You don't need every document on day one. Upload the entry packet and Navigator evaluates the 30–40 checks it can run immediately. As additional documents arrive — the first sale invoice, purchase orders, payment records, the input directly from the offshore parties — more checks unlock and the dashboard updates. The heat map fills in progressively, giving you and your client a clear visual of how close the implementation is to complete.
Not everything is a showstopper and you decide which is which.
Some failed checks are critical: a missing first sale invoice, for example. Others are informational, like a minor quantity variance that has a reasonable explanation. Navigator will surface the issues, including the relatively the minor ones. But the decision about what to remediate, what to document and accept, and what changes the overall assessment. That's your call, informed by the totality of the circumstances. Navigator gives you the organized, documented facts. You apply the judgment.
NDCs Get the Same Treatment
When NDCs are the right strategy, whether as the primary path or as an interim step, LandedEdge's NDC Navigator gives you the same kind of implementation dashboard. It analyzes cost layers (e.g., international freight, inland freight, international insurance, inland insurance, and port and terminal charges), identifies deductible amounts, provides regulatory citations, and tracks documentation as proof docs are uploaded.
Same progressive workflow. Same frozen record at the end.
The consultant validates the amounts, implements the changes, and writes the client report. LandedEdge highlights and documents. The duty of care stays with you - where it belongs.
Built for Your Practice, Not to Replace It
LandedEdge is infrastructure. Your clients see your expertise, your analysis, your recommendations. The platform handles the document review, the verification checks, and the records — so your team can spend their time where it actually matters: understanding the client's business, interpreting the facts, and making the judgment calls that drive outcomes.
The expertise is yours.
LandedEdge surfaces findings and organizes documentation. The professional interpretation — what it means for this client, whether to pursue FS or NDCs or both, how to handle a borderline finding — that's your value. The platform makes your expertise more efficient. It doesn't replace it.
Recurring Revenue Opportunity
First Sale and NDC programs need ongoing monitoring. Navigator tracks when each flow is due for recheck and preserves prior year records intact — Year 1, Year 2, Year N, each on a single timeline. For your practice, that's recurring revenue. For your clients, that's peace of mind.
Multi-client management.
One dashboard for all your clients. See which flows need attention, which implementations are in progress, which rechecks are due, and where the biggest opportunities sit across your entire book of business.
Documents in, analysis out.
Upload documents and the engines run. Upload more and the analysis updates. Navigator and NDC Navigator re-evaluate checks every time new data arrives. The system responds to the documents so you focus on the client.
The Platform for the Valuation Practice You Want to Build
Today, most customs valuation engagements start with hours of unpaid analysis just to size the opportunity. LandedEdge eliminates that. You upload the entry packet and the platform tells you what's there, across both First Sale and NDCs, with savings estimates attached.
But the real leverage isn't in the screening. It's in what comes after. The consultant who used to turn down First Sale engagements because the implementation was too unwieldy can now take them on — with an implementation dashboard that tracks every requirement, every document, and every remediation step. The consultant who could only justify First Sale or NDC analysis for their largest clients can now run it across every account. The consultant who wanted to offer annual compliance monitoring but didn't have the infrastructure can now do it with a system that flags rechecks and preserves the prior year's record.
More engagements. Higher-value services. Recurring revenue. And a complete documentation trail for everything you deliver.
