Our innovative product, CustomsAI, is at the forefront of revolutionising the way companies navigate the complex landscape of customs processing.

Challenges and Solutions

Businesses face numerous challenges in customs processing: the need for skilled personnel, the complexity of customs tariff codes, regulatory compliance, and seamless integration into existing ERP systems. CustomsAI effectively addresses all of these issues.

By utilising AI and machine learning, CustomsAI automates the customs tariff classification process and analyses product information with utmost precision. It automatically assigns the appropriate TARIC codes , thereby minimising the risk of errors and delays and ensuring that the current VAT rates are always applied.

However, technology alone is not enough. Despite advanced algorithms, human expertise remains an indispensable part of the process. Our experienced team of customs experts continuously reviews the data foundation of CustomsAI for accuracy and compliance with all legal requirements. This synergy significantly contributes to ensuring that product data is accurately analysed and the correct TARIC code is automatically assigned.

This synergistic combination of cutting-edge technology and in-depth expertise makes CustomsAI an indispensable tool for companies that want to streamline their customs processes and minimise risks. Our expert team continuously monitors data quality, conducts dynamic reviews, and updates classifications to ensure your business remains compliant and costly mistakes are avoided.

Practical Example

Let’s consider the product “Brossard Fleece Jacket Men Lightblue.” This garment, made of microfleece and manufactured in France, must be correctly classified.
