We believe that small and mid-size importers deserve the same powerful tools that Fortune 500 companies use. IMP Ship is on a mission to democratize global trade.
IMP Ship was born from frustration. Our founders spent years importing CNC parts and electronics from Shenzhen factories, drowning in paperwork, guessing at tariff rates, and praying that documents wouldn't get rejected at customs.
We realized that the $4.6 trillion global trade industry was still running on spreadsheets, email chains, and guesswork. Small and mid-size importers β the backbone of US-China trade β had no affordable tools to navigate the complexity of customs compliance.
So we built IMP Ship: an AI-powered platform that takes the pain out of importing. We scan your documents, calculate your duties, generate your paperwork, and connect you with the best carriers β all in minutes instead of days.
Three principles guide everything we do.
Trade is complex enough. Our tools shouldn't be. Every feature we build must make shipping simpler, not more complicated.
One wrong HTS code can cost thousands. We obsess over getting the details right, from duty rates to document formatting.
Enterprise-grade compliance tools shouldn't require enterprise budgets. We're democratizing global trade.
