Participate

Participating in the CBP Crude Oil NCAP

Pilot starts July 2, 2026

Be among the first to prove origin in real time and build lasting trust across borders.

On July 2, 2026, the U.S NCAP (National Customs Automation Program) starts with Neoflow & the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, using live crude oil shipment data from Canada and Mexico. The NCAP is open to importers of record, pipeline operators, and licensed customs brokers.

About

What is Neoflow?

Neoflow is digital infrastructure built for the energy industry. We enable oil and natural gas companies to generate verifiable credentials for every shipment, documenting origin, custody, and compliance across the entire cross-border journey.

Our platform was developed and tested through multi-year work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through the SVIP program, in close collaboration with leading energy industry partners who helped pilot and validate it in real-world operations.

Our mission is to simplify trade, eliminate unnecessary costs, and unlock efficiency for the North American oil and natural gas industry — bringing modern, standards-based traceability to one of the world's most critical energy supply chains.

What is the NCAP?

The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) was established under the U.S. Customs Modernization Act of 1993 as part of the modernization of U.S. customs processing and trade compliance systems. Within CBP, the NCAP is the legal and operational framework used to conduct pilot programs and trade initiatives, modernize import/export processing, test new data-sharing and supply-chain traceability capabilities, improve cargo security and trade compliance, and support single-window electronic trade filing through ACE.

How it works

How Neoflow works

A comprehensive digital infrastructure that transforms shipment data into trusted, verifiable records for seamless cross-border compliance.

01

Capture shipment events

Producer, pipeline, terminal, refinery, broker, or importer events are captured as structured, tamper-evident records at each point in the lifecycle.

02

Issue verifiable credentials

Origin, custody, quality, ownership, and compliance attributes are issued as verifiable credentials tied to each shipment.

03

Share trusted records

Credentials are shared with authorized commercial parties and government agencies, with cryptographic proof of authenticity and provenance.

04

Automate compliance workflows

Reduce manual documentation, audit exposure, and border friction by automating proof of origin, custody, and compliance reporting.

Built on open standards including W3C Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) for interoperability and long-term portability.

The New Standard

Crude oil import compliance is moving from paper to digital.

The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP), developed through multi-year work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection through the SVIP program — and in close collaboration with the energy industry �� replaces five years of audit exposure and manual paperwork with verifiable digital traceability.

Documentation

Fragmented USMCA documentation

Obtaining acceptable supporting documents to claim USMCA can be difficult.

Generate digital support for USMCA claims

Digital traceability from consolidation hubs using Neoflow verifiable credentials and certification of origin.

Audit exposure

5 years of audit risk

USMCA claims are subject to U.S. CBP verification audits for five years.

Reduce routine audit exposure

Designed to support earlier, more reliable verification.

Tariffs

Tariff volatility

Exposure to extreme tariff volatility and financial risk.

Reduce tariff-related uncertainty

Eliminate financial reporting uncertainty.

Process

Manual entry processes

Importer entries are manual and near paper-based.

Own your traceability

Eliminate reliance on producers.

Sourcing

Constrained crude slate

Limited to purchasing oil from producers willing to provide a certificate of origin and supporting documentation if required.

Expand & optimize crude slate

Purchase crude oil regardless of certificate of origin availability.

From July 2nd, 2026, under the NCAP with Neoflow, proof of origin with digital traceability from consolidation hubs.
