U.S. Customs and Border Protection Selects Exiger’s AI as Critical Tool for Detection of Illicit Transshipment

Multi-Million Dollar Contract Awarded to Exiger to bring AI into Trade and Transshipment Intelligence

WASHINGTON, DC. OCTOBER 28, 2025 – Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company, announced today that it has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to modernize the detection of illicit transshipment across global supply chains. Designed to evade tariffs, trade restrictions and sanctions, illicit transshipment is the practice of manipulating supply chains to disguise a product’s true country of origin. Exiger’s Trade AI will be deployed across CBP, serving as an additional tool for the U.S. government’s transshipment detection capability.

Transshipment identification and enforcement are critical priorities for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and CBP. Convergent Solutions, Inc., DBA Exiger Government Solutions, will equip CBP enforcement offices and personnel across the U.S. with access to Exiger’s AI platform and data to identify illicit transshipment at-scale and in real-time.

“Billions of dollars worth of global trade move through illegal transshipment channels that seek to bypass U.S. restrictions,” said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. “A core CBP mission is to enforce U.S. trade and forced labor laws, thereby helping ensure that American manufacturers and workers are competing on a level playing field. Exiger is proud to support this mission, bringing to bear the world’s largest proprietary supply chain database and the market’s most sophisticated AI.”

  • Monitor and enforce tariff and trade regulations
  • Leverage Exiger’s proprietary AI models and trade intelligence data to enrich data in CBP systems and enhance decision making
  • Deploy AI-enabled validations of tariff classification, value and country of origin
  • Create automated bills of material for products and sub-components
  • Map the flow of raw materials and sub-components through global supply chains
  • Risk-score shipments in-real time
  • Collect tariff revenues earlier
  • Trace global supply chains to enhance import visibility and risk segmentation

Exiger’s proven AI solutions have been deployed across 60+ U.S. Government agencies, including the Department of War, Department of State, Department of Energy, DHS, the intelligence community, and armed forces.

Exiger’s technology continues to earn top recognition. In April, Exiger was named an awardee on the Government Services Administration’s Supply Chain Risk Illumination Professional Tools and Services (SCRIPTS) Blanket Purchase Agreement, and was the highest-ranked unrestricted vendor awardee of the 10-year, $919 million contract. This year, Exiger was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supplier Risk Management Solutions, a Best-of-Breed Solution and three-time Value Leader in Spend Matters’ SolutionMap, and a Leader in Omdia’s Market Radar: Firmware and Software Supply Chain Security.
