Scoped customs, carrier, Port Houston, tariff, and notice facts from primary sources listed on this page.
About this concept
Clearvoy is a
fictional portfolio
concept.
It is not an operating freight-software vendor.
Desk research and one internally consistent illustrative handoff support this product and website argument.
What the material is
A four-condition completion logic, ownership and approval model, and a human-in-the-loop handoff route.
Company, people, records, dates, messages, interfaces, and statuses invented to explain the concept.
No practitioner validation, customers, results, integrations, certifications, pricing, coverage, availability, or working freight infrastructure.
This margin separates documented external facts from Clearvoy's invented product and scenario material.

What each source
may support.
External facts remain scoped to their named authority, geography, terminal, carrier, or edition. Scenario records remain illustrative even when their vocabulary is grounded in a source.
CBP — How to use ACE
ACE handles manifest, cargo-release, post-release, ISF, and supporting-document channels.
U.S. only. Recheck before publication. Customs evidence is external state, not Clearvoy-created truth.
CBP — ISF timing
Eight elements use a pre-loading clock and two use a later pre-arrival clock.
U.S.-bound ocean cargo. Not used directly in the selected scenario.
IMO — Verified Gross Mass
The shipper supplies VGM sufficiently early for stow planning; absent VGM prevents loading unless a permitted contingency applies.
SOLAS-applicable packed containers. VGM is not a promise of loading.
Hapag-Lloyd — BL Drafts
One carrier workflow shows edit-or-approve actions, status progression, and a transaction receipt.
One carrier workflow. Not used directly in the selected scenario.
Hapag-Lloyd — U.S. export
Carrier guidance ties cut-off details to a booking and shows that incomplete instructions may delay a draft.
U.S. carrier guidance. No universal documentation cut-off.
IATA — DGD / e-DGD
Paper and electronic dangerous-goods declarations show a multi-party evidence model.
Air dangerous goods; current DGR and operator variations control.
Port Houston — Data Integration
Availability, road-impediment, equipment-event, and appointment-transaction concepts can remain distinct and timestamped.
Port Houston interfaces only. No Clearvoy connection.
Port Houston — Gate Information
Express Pass is the named mandatory access appointment at Port Houston container terminals.
Port Houston only. No autonomous-booking claim.
Port Houston — Tariff No. 14
For the selected eligible Barbours Cut example, ordinary loaded-import free time is seven days from the first 06:00 after receipt.
Tariff effective 1 April 2026 and subject to change. The scenario calculation is not universal.
Maersk — U.S. payment
One carrier example demonstrates that freight release is distinct evidence and can depend on applied payment or credit terms.
One carrier and country. No Clearvoy connection or universal release rule.
PNCT — TOS portal
One terminal portal distinguishes customs, freight, USDA, terminal, and carrier holds.
PNCT vocabulary. Do not transfer its exact fields to Port Houston.
FMC — VOCC Audit Program
Cargo-notice best practice distinguishes arrival from availability and communicates remaining free time and demurrage risk.
FMC best practice for carriers, not a universal forwarder approval rule or Clearvoy wording.
02 / What remains invented
The sources are real.
The product argument is ours.
Nothing on this page should be mistaken for customer evidence, operating infrastructure, or an external authority's endorsement.
Practitioner validation, customers, results, integrations, certifications, security, pricing, coverage, product availability, or working freight infrastructure.
Time-sensitive Port Houston statements require a fresh source check when this work is published.
Any external asset introduced later must carry its own provenance and credit before publication.
