Frequently asked questions
What does KlearNow actually do?
KlearNow combines trade-document AI with customs filing. KlearData ingests and contextualises documents, declarations and reference data into a single record; KlearHub validates entries before filing, tracks them and runs refund audits globally; Managed Trade has KlearNow's licensed customs brokers operate the platform for you, including post-entry audits and duty refunds. It covers US, Canadian, UK, Dutch and Spanish customs regimes among others.
Is KlearNow software, a brokerage service, or both?
Both. The platform (KlearData and KlearHub) is software that customers, self-filers and brokers can operate themselves, while Managed Trade is a service model in which KlearNow's licensed brokers run clearance end to end and file post-entry audits and duty refunds on your behalf. Buyers can choose the operating model that matches their internal customs capability.
Does KlearNow replace customs brokers?
No. KlearNow's own documentation states AI handles the high-volume, repetitive document work and flags low-confidence fields, while the broker still reviews exceptions and makes judgement calls such as whether a declared value is commercially sensible. The vendor positions AI plus licensed broker review as the accuracy-maximising combination, so brokers are augmented rather than removed.
How is KlearNow priced?
No public price list appears on any KlearNow page reviewed. The offering is split into KlearData, KlearHub and the Managed Trade broker service, and enquiries route through a demo and quote request form that asks for annual shipment volume. Expect quote-based, volume-linked enterprise pricing, and ask for the split between platform subscription and managed-broker fees.
What security or compliance certifications does KlearNow publish?
None are evidenced on the pages reviewed. The site's /compliance page is a glossary entry defining a compliance statement, not a security page, and no SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA or FedRAMP claim is published there or elsewhere on the vendor site. Buyers should request the current certification evidence and data-processing terms directly.
