Take Control of Tariff Costs with Plastiq

Plastiq enables businesses to use their credit cards to fund tariff and import duty payments—while maintaining compliance and preserving cash flow.

Ongoing trade disputes and regulatory changes continue to drive volatility in tariff rates. 


Even modest increases in duties can put a strain on operating capital. Compounding the challenge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) does not accept credit cards for duty payments—limiting your flexibility at a critical time.

Tariffs Are Unpredictable. Cash Flow Shouldn’t Be.

HOW IT WORKS

Plastiq Makes Paying Duties by Card Possible

Make Your Payment

Plastiq Sends the Funds to CBP

You Keep More Cash on Hand

Enter your CBP duty or tariff payment amount on the Plastiq platform and pay with your business credit card — even if the vendor doesn’t accept cards directly.

We process your payment with a 2.9% fee and remit the funds to U.S. Customs and Border Protection via an accepted method (check or wire) on your behalf.

Your vendor gets paid, your compliance is intact, and you enjoy extended payment terms and rewards through your credit card provider.

Improve Cash Flow Without Compromising Compliance

Plastiq enables seamless duty payments by card, letting you stay compliant, stay liquid, and stay focused on growth.

Built for Businesses Managing Global Trade Costs

Whether you’re a logistics or operations lead focused on timely, compliant delivery, an import/export manager navigating shifting trade rules, or a business owner coordinating payments through a customs broker..
