Customs teams still lose hours re-keying the same data — invoice values, party details, weights, commodity codes — from PDFs and scans into declaration after declaration. Customs Intelligent Document Processing removes that step entirely: customs declaration automation that starts with the paperwork you already receive. It combines OCR with purpose-trained AI to read your commercial invoices, packing lists and transport documents, understand what each field means, and structure the data ready for customs — no templates, no manual data entry.
One extraction feeds every declaration you file. From a single set of documents, the platform can auto-draft a GB CDS import or export declaration, a GB ENS, an EU ICS2 (ENS), a French ELO, or an NCTS6 transit movement — with HS code assistance, party matching against your saved profiles, and built-in validation before anything is submitted. Every draft is presented for human review and confirmation, so you keep control and accuracy while cutting the keystrokes. This is customs clearance automation built for customs agents, brokers, freight forwarders and traders who file at volume — and it’s included free of charge on our platform, for every declaration type, with no per-document fee and no add-on cost.
Included free. For every declaration.
Customs Intelligent Document Processing is free of charge on our platform — for every declaration type we support. No per-document fee, no add-on subscription, no usage tier.
Whether you’re filing a GB CDS import, an EU ICS2 (ENS), a French ELO or an NCTS6 transit movement, the AI reads your documents and drafts the declaration at no extra cost.
You only ever pay the standard per-declaration price for the filing itself — the automation that gets you there is on us.
Everything from document to declaration, automated.
From a single invoice to high-volume batch processing, customs declaration automation handles the reading, extracting and drafting — you review and submit.
Any Document, Any Format
Upload PDFs, scanned images, photos or email attachments — typed or handwritten, single or multi-page. No fixed templates and no pre-mapping required.
OCR + AI Data Extraction
Purpose-built OCR for customs documents combined with AI that understands context — not just characters. It reads header and line-item data and structures it for customs, even across varied and messy layouts.
Commercial Invoice Data Extraction
Pull parties, addresses, EORI references, values, currencies, Incoterms, invoice and order numbers, net/gross weights and package counts straight from the commercial invoice.
Packing List & Transport Document Parsing
Extract quantities, weights, dimensions and package data from packing lists, and route, container, vehicle and consignment data from CMRs, bills of lading, air waybills and booking confirmations.
Line-Item Level Extraction
Every goods line is captured and mapped to a declaration item — descriptions, quantities, values and weights — not just invoice totals.
Auto-Draft Across Every Declaration Type
One extraction, many outputs. Feed the same structured data into a GB CDS Import/Export, GB ENS, EU ICS2 (ENS), French ELO or NCTS6 transit declaration — no re-keying between systems.
HS / Commodity Code Assistance
AI suggests and validates commodity codes from goods descriptions, helping you classify faster and catch mismatches before they reach customs.
Multi-Language Documents
Read and extract from non-English commercial invoices and transport documents, so cross-border paperwork isn’t a bottleneck.
Human-in-the-Loop Review
Confidence scoring flags any uncertain field for a quick check. You review, correct and confirm before drafting — automation with accountability, not a black box.
Party & Profile Matching
Extracted consignors, consignees and other parties are matched to your saved EORI / party profiles, so repeat traders populate instantly and consistently.
Built-In Validation
EORI, HS code, GRN and format checks run as the data is structured, catching errors early and preventing rejections and border holds.
Batch Processing & API
Drop a whole batch of documents and process at volume, or connect your TMS, ERP or freight system via API to automate document intake and declaration drafting end to end.
From any document to any declaration.
Whatever paperwork comes in and whichever declaration you need out, it’s one workflow — not a separate tool for every format and filing type.

- Packing lists
- Transport documents — CMR, B/L, AWB, sea waybill

Upload
Drop in your commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents — one at a time, as a batch, by email intake or via API. Any format.
AI Extracts & Structures

Review & Confirm
Check the extracted data with low-confidence fields flagged for attention. Correct anything that needs it and confirm — you stay in control.
Auto-Draft the Declaration
Choose your output — CDS Import/Export, GB ENS, EU ICS2, FR ELO or NCTS6 — and the platform drafts a validated declaration from the same dataset, ready to submit.

Document automation questions, answered.
It’s AI customs document processing — the front end of customs declaration automation. It reads your commercial invoices, packing lists and transport documents, extracts the data with OCR and AI, and auto-drafts your customs declarations, removing manual data entry from the clearance process. In practice it’s customs clearance automation that starts at the document rather than at a data-entry screen.
From a single extraction you can auto-draft GB CDS Import and Export declarations, GB ENS, EU ICS2 (ENS), the French ELO and NCTS6 transit (T1/T2) — all on the same platform.
Commercial and proforma invoices, packing lists, and transport documents such as CMRs, bills of lading, air waybills and booking confirmations — plus supporting certificates and manifests.
PDFs, scanned images, photos and email attachments — typed or handwritten, single or multi-page. There are no fixed templates to set up.
Every extraction is scored and presented for human review, with any low-confidence field flagged for a quick check. You confirm the data before a declaration is drafted, so you get the speed of automation with full accountability.
