Customs and export documentation requires manual retrieval of order details, lookup of harmonized tariff codes, and verification of destination-specific compliance rules. This repetitive process is error-prone and delays shipments by hours.
Automation retrieves order data, populates customs forms with correct HS codes and compliance requirements, and validates completeness before human review. Shipments move to approval in minutes instead of hours.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
An order is marked for export. The automation platform detects the trigger and retrieves order details, customer location, and item SKUs.
The automation queries the product database to retrieve HS codes, descriptions, and unit values for each item in the order. HS codes are matched from a pre-loaded compliance lookup table.
The automation checks the destination country against a compliance rules matrix to identify required certificates, licenses, and declarations for the product category and destination.
The automation fills in the customs declaration form, certificate of origin template, and any required supporting documents with order data, HS codes, and compliance flags.
The automation checks that all required fields are populated, HS codes are valid, and compliance rules are met. If validation fails, the form is flagged for manual review.
Completed and validated documents are sent to the compliance officer for final sign-off. Forms that fail validation are flagged with specific errors.
Once approved, documents are saved to the archive, a summary is sent to the freight forwarder, and the order status is updated to ready for shipment.
