For freight forwarders, agentes aduanales and customs brokers

Catch it before customs does.

Bordia takes the repetitive work off your team. It reads and cross-checks every document and fills the paperwork, so mismatches are caught early and your people handle more shipments.

  • Every document checked against every other
  • Reading, retyping and chasing documents, done for you
  • A licensed person approves every filing

One wrong number holds the whole shipment.

46 boxes on the Carta Porte and 48 on the invoice. 18,400 kg on the B/L and 18,900 kg on the packing list. A small difference, found at the border, means a held truck, a container sitting at the port, a B/L amendment or a fine.

  • Truck held at the border
  • Container waiting at the port
  • B/L amendment
  • Fine

MXN 53,500–106,970

Fine in Mexico for a wrong value or description of goods. [1]

USD 150

Storage per container per day at Manzanillo, after 7 free days. [2]

USD 5,000

For a late, wrong or incomplete US ISF filing. [3]

How it works, in four steps.

Bordia does the reading, checking and typing. A person makes the decisions.

  1. 1

    Documents arrive

    Clients and carriers send PDFs and photos on WhatsApp or email, in Spanish or English. Bordia assigns each one to its shipment.

  2. 2

    Bordia reads and checks

    It reads every value, checks every document against every other one and shows where each value came from. When something doesn't match, it asks the sender.

  3. 3

    Bordia drafts

    The pedimento, the MVE and the US entry, filled from the values every document agrees on.

  4. 4

    A licensed person approves

    Your agente aduanal or customs broker reviews, approves and files with their own software.

Watch it on a sea import

Two containers of machinery from Felixstowe to Veracruz. The draft B/L has the wrong weight, and the freight invoice is missing.

    Demo: companies, people and numbers are fictional.

    Prefer to watch? One shipment, start to finish.

    Bordia catches a wrong weight on the B/L and a missing freight invoice before the ship arrives, and the customs broker approves with a record of every check.

    What changes for your agency.

    For the owner, the ops lead and the agente aduanal who signs.

    For the person who signs

    A record of every check, for every shipment.

    Since 1 January 2026, Mexico's customs law makes the agente aduanal liable even for wrong data the client sent. [4] [5] Bordia keeps every document and a record of what was checked and who approved it: evidence of due diligence.

    It lowers the risk. It doesn't remove legal liability.

    For the ops lead

    Your team reviews instead of typing.

    More than 70% of forwarding and logistics staff spend at least a quarter of their day on tasks such as chasing documents and emails. [6] Bordia reads each document once, fills the drafts (pedimento, MVE, US entry) and only asks a person when something needs a decision.

    For your clients

    Clients keep using WhatsApp.

    Clients and carriers keep sending photos and PDFs the way they do now, on WhatsApp or email, in Spanish or English. Bordia assigns each one to its shipment and asks the sender when something is missing. No new app for anyone outside your team.

    Every mode, both directions, one screen.

    Truck, sea and air; into and out of Mexico; Mexico and the US first, then more countries. Clients notice the tools you use: in a 2021 survey by FreightWaves and Logixboard, which sells visibility software to forwarders, 45% of shippers had stopped working with a forwarder because another one offered better technology.

    1 November 2026 – 15 January 2027

    Is your team ready for the MVE?

    Mexico's electronic value declaration becomes mandatory for every import, phased in by regime between 1 November 2026 and 15 January 2027. [7] Bordia gathers the value documents (invoice, freight, insurance, proof of payment) and checks that the MVE matches the pedimento.

    A licensed person always decides.

    Bordia prepares; the agente aduanal or customs broker approves and files with their own software. In a 2025 survey by Magaya and Adelante SCM, 41% of forwarders named errors or compliance violations among their concerns about AI. [9] That's why a person signs every filing.

    • Bordia never files

      It prepares the data and the drafts. Filing stays with the licensed person, in their own customs software.

    • Nothing goes out without approval

      Messages to clients and files to the broker wait for a person until you choose otherwise.

    • Every value, traceable

      Each value shows the document it came from.

    • Each agency's data apart

      Every agency's shipments, documents and messages are kept separate from everyone else's.

    Questions

    Don't see yours? Write to us.

    Does Bordia file the pedimento?

    No. Bordia prepares the data and the drafts; the licensed customs broker reviews them and files with their own software. Bordia never files on its own.

    Does it guarantee there won't be fines?

    No. Bordia catches mismatches before they reach customs and keeps a record of every check, which lowers the risk. The licensed person still decides, signs and answers for the filing.

    Do we have to change our customs software?

    No. Your broker keeps their software. Bordia hands over a draft with every value and the document it came from, ready to enter.

    Which shipments does it handle?

    Imports into and exports from Mexico, by truck, sea and air, and the US side for shipments that cross into the US. More countries will follow, led by the lanes our partners use most.

    Will it help with the MVE?

    Yes. Bordia checks that the invoice, freight, insurance and proof of payment are in the file and agree, adds freight and insurance when the Incoterm needs them, and checks that the MVE matches the pedimento, for the broker to file.

    Does it replace our customs broker?

    No. It gives them a file that's already been checked, so they spend their time on decisions, not on retyping. The broker always signs.

    How accurate is the reading?

    Bordia notes where it found each value and names the values it isn't sure of. A reading it isn't sure of goes to a person to confirm.

    Which languages does it speak?

    Mexican Spanish and US English, in the app and in its messages. It reads documents in either.
