About the company

Caspian is an AI-native trade advisory platform founded in 2024 by Justin Sherlock and Matt Ebeweber, focused exclusively on duty drawback and tariff refund processing. The platform ingests and analyzes companies' international shipping and inventory data to identify eligible duty refunds, calculate drawback claims, and submit documentation to CBP — replacing months-long manual processes with days. Caspian is both a CBP-approved technology company and a licensed customs broker, allowing it to file claims directly with US Customs or serve as a technology layer for brokers/forwarders. Core capabilities: automated HTS modeling, tariff audit, post summary corrections (PSC), protests, duty drawback programs, and ongoing compliance monitoring. Integrates with Shopify, major ERPs and CRMs. Announced $5.4M seed funding (Primary Venture Partners lead, Blank Ventures) in July 2025. Strategic partnership with Cass Information Systems (February 2026) integrates Caspian's tariff audit engine into Cass's freight payment and ocean audit platform. Targets e-commerce, manufacturing, and retail importers who currently leave drawback money unclaimed. 90%+ of eligible businesses reportedly do not file drawback.
