Read and cross-check import documents before filing
AI reads the invoice, packing list, and B/L and cross-checks goods, quantities, weights, and values. A customs specialist resolves mismatches before filing.
The problem today
For every import shipment, staff read the invoice, packing list, and B/L from the shipper and copy what is needed to prepare the customs filing. Quantities and weights often disagree between documents, and checking takes time.

What AI does
Reads the needed fields from documents in any layout, quoting where each value came from, and shows mismatches between documents with the reason.
Where people decide
The customs specialist checks mismatches and decides what is declared. Filing through NACCS stays with the specialist, as today.
What a PoC checks
- Whether the needed fields are read correctly from your main shippers' document layouts
