1. Technology overview
Zonos was founded in 2009 in Salt Lake City under the name iGlobal Exports and has been headquartered in St. George, Utah since 2014. It builds software that handles duties, taxes, HS classification and customs brokerage for cross-border sellers and postal operators.
The product line includes Checkout, Landed Cost, Brokerage, Classify, Restrict, Screen and Hello, exposed through a GraphQL API. The site states it supports 200+ countries, and AI reads product images and predicts country of origin. In April 2026 it acquired a US customs broker, Evolve Trade Services.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Landed Cost: duty and tax calculation for 200+ countries.
- Classify: AI HS code classification tuned for sparse descriptions.
- Brokerage: customs entry filing through an owned US broker.
- Restrict and Screen: restricted-item and party screening.
- Checkout: localised checkout in 30+ currencies.
- GraphQL API: integration with Shopify, Salesforce, UPS, FedEx and DHL.
3. Potential application
A Vietnamese e-commerce exporter can embed landed cost at checkout for US buyers. A courier or postal partner can classify parcels at scale. A forwarder can pre-screen restricted items before filing.
4. Benefits
Sellers can show landed cost at checkout and avoid surprise duties for buyers. HS classification is automated, and the 2026 model is reported to make 29.4% fewer errors than its predecessor on live traffic. An in-house customs broker keeps control of entries.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Postal and e-commerce shipments face stricter agency review, with US rules affecting postal parcels from October 2026 according to the vendor. Vietnamese cross-border sellers shipping small parcels to the US need accurate HS codes and duty data.
