Customs and Trade Compliance Automation
Classify goods, validate documentation and check restricted party lists automatically, so shipments clear the border on first submission rather than sitting in a queue over a data error.
Solution Overview
The Challenge
Customs classification is done manually against tariff schedules running to thousands of headings, and getting it wrong means either overpaying duty or facing penalties and retrospective assessment.
- 1Manual tariff classification against schedules running to thousands of headings
- 2Misclassification causing either overpaid duty or penalties and retrospective assessment
- 3Documentation errors found at the border rather than before submission
Our Approach
CloudGate automates classification, documentation validation and screening before submission: product descriptions and specifications are classified against the tariff schedule with the reasoning retained, documentation is cross-validated for consistency across the shipment pack, and restricted party screening runs on every counterparty.
- Tariff classification from product description and specification with reasoning retained
- Cross-document validation for value, quantity, description and certificate consistency
- Restricted party and sanctions screening on every counterparty in the shipment
