Zonos has been selected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the CSOP pilot to provide AI-powered trade compliance solutions, including tariff classification, duty collection, and actionable insights for small package shipments.
Saint George, Utah, — November 19, 2025
Zonos, a St. George-based leader in cross-border commerce technology, has announced that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has selected the company for its Commercial Solutions Opening Pilot Program (CSOP). The CSOP initiative streamlines contracting, reduces administrative hurdles, and encourages participation from both established and new companies. Unlike traditional acquisition processes, this program accepts non-standard solutions with potential to enhance homeland defense, law enforcement, disaster response, counter-trafficking, humanitarian operations, and infrastructure protection.
The partnership will allow CBP to test Zonos’ AI-powered trade compliance platform, evaluating technology for tariff classification, data verification and enrichment, and duty collection for ecommerce and international mail entering the United States.
"When the U.S. de minimis exemption ended, Zonos ensured the continuity of international mail while strengthening both revenue and security for the United States. We weren't just ready for the change; we led the change." said Clint Reid, CEO of Zonos. "Now the work begins to provide insights and revenue for CBP for small package shipments, especially in the mail environment."
In trade and legal contexts, “de minimis” refers to something so minor or small that it is not considered legally significant or subject to regulation.
Zonos’ AI platform offers several key solutions:
By filling intelligence gaps in ecommerce and international mail, Zonos helps CBP safeguard billions in tariff revenue while addressing security risks. The company is the only fintech platform purpose-built for international tariff collection, providing both businesses and individuals with tools to comply seamlessly with U.S. trade regulations.
