Automating Documentation and Navigating Complex Regulations

Drowning in customs paperwork? You’re not alone.

For freight forwarders and logistics operators, managing international shipments means juggling a chaotic stack of invoices, declarations, licenses, certificates of origin, HS codes, and more. One wrong digit or mismatched detail can trigger inspections, delays, or worse—fines.

But what if you had an AI compliance officer that never missed a thing?

Meet Your New Trade Compliance Agent

AI Agents are now trained to handle the heaviest burden in global trade: compliance.

Here’s how they work:

1. Document Extraction with OCR + NLP

They extract structured data from:

• Commercial invoices
• Packing lists
• Certificates of origin
• Bills of lading
• SDS, licenses, and more

Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), these agents pull key information even from unstructured, scanned, or handwritten files.

2. Automated Cross-Verification

AI Agents cross-reference documents across each other, ensuring:

• Product descriptions match across all forms
• Weight, quantity, and HS codes are consistent
• Origin/destination and consignee data align

3. Live Regulation Mapping

They stay updated on:

• Tariff codes by country
• Trade restrictions
• License requirements
• Sanctioned or denied party lists

Agents automatically flag potential issues before the shipment reaches customs.

4. Compliance Checklist Generation

AI generates an instant checklist for every shipment, showing what’s ready, what’s missing, and what needs attention—with links to relevant regulation sources.

Why This Matters for Freight Forwarders

Traditional compliance checks involve back-and-forth emails, Excel audits, and human fatigue.
