Sayari Secures Expanded Contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to Strengthen National Trade Security

Sayari announces expanded multi-year contract with CBP, equipping the agency with AI-powered data solutions to secure global trade.

Through this multi-year agreement, federal agencies will leverage Sayari's commercial data solutions to enhance investigations related to economic security.

Sayari, the leading provider of risk intelligence and visibility into complex commercial networks, today announced an expanded contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), expanding a contractual relationship that equips the agency with the AI-powered data solutions required to secure global trade. Sayari's technology enables its customers to shift from effort-intensive manual analysis to outcome-focused operational resilience.

Since 2022, Sayari has supported CBP's mission to secure the nation's borders from transnational criminal networks and foreign adversarial influence on critical supply chains. Sayari supports a wide range of enforcement use cases, from counterterrorism and forced labor identification to disrupting narcotics trafficking and other high-risk trade activity.

"The complexity of modern trade enforcement demands technology that can uncover hidden relationships across multi-tier supply chains at global scale," said Farley Mesko, CEO and co-founder of Sayari. "Our tools leverage advanced risk intelligence that accelerates the data-to-decision lifecycle, transforming reactive enforcement into proactive risk mitigation that protects American industry and counters transnational threats."

The agency has significantly accelerated drug interdiction efforts while detention actions under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act have stopped more than $3.6 billion worth of illicit goods since 2022.

Today's threats move through opaque commercial structures that cross jurisdictions. Enforcement agencies must respond systemically, at speed, and with precision. Every insight Sayari provides is anchored in verifiable primary source data, giving personnel full confidence in the accuracy and auditability of their findings.

Sayari's advanced, zero-hallucination AI serves not to replace human expertise, but to magnify it by eliminating time-consuming data assembly and enabling analysts to focus on the highest-stakes judgment calls.

Why This Matters

As adversarial actors increasingly exploit corporate complexity to evade sanctions and export controls, government agencies require intelligence that maps the networks behind the names. Sayari’s evidence-based intelligence – anchored in verifiable primary source data from 250+ jurisdictions – gives enforcement teams full confidence in the accuracy and auditability of their findings, enabling faster data-to-decision cycles in trade enforcement, counterproliferation, and financial crime investigations.
