Caspian is an AI-native global trade advisory platform that helps importers and exporters recover unclaimed import duties and stay compliant as tariff rules shift. Founded in 2024 by ex-Flexport operators Justin Sherlock and Matt Ebeweber, the San Francisco company is a licensed US customs broker and CBP-approved software vendor. Its platform ingests shipping and inventory data to identify eligible duty drawback and refunds, then files the paperwork with US Customs in days rather than months - replacing the spreadsheet-and-email legacy process that leaves billions of dollars unclaimed every year.
