Import/Export Compliance Analyzer
Verify shipments for trade compliance risks and customs regulations
What You Can Do
You get instant analysis of import/export shipments against trade laws, tariff classifications, and regulatory requirements. Claude reviews your documentation, flags compliance gaps, verifies HS codes, and identifies sanctioned entity risks before costly delays or penalties occur. Each analysis produces a compliance report with actionable recommendations.
Features
Verify bills of lading, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, and packing lists against customs requirements for your destination country.
Classify products using Harmonized System codes and confirm tariff rates, duties, and applicable trade agreements for accurate duty calculation.
Screen shipments against export controls, import restrictions, licensing requirements, and country-specific trade regulations.
Cross-reference parties (buyers, suppliers, banks, insurers) against OFAC, EU, UN, and country-specific sanctions lists to avoid prohibited transactions.
Identify missing or incomplete certificates, permits, inspections, or declarations that could trigger customs holds or penalties.
Compare negotiated tariff rates under trade agreements (USMCA, CPTPP, etc.) to standard rates and recommend optimal classification strategies.
Assign compliance risk levels (low, medium, high, critical) based on product type, destination, party involvement, and regulatory changes.
Example Output
Example 1: Pre-Shipment Audit Result
Compliance Status: MEDIUM RISK HS Code 3004.90.50 (Vitamins): Correct classification Missing: Certificate of Analysis (required for FDA entry) Destination USA: Requires FDA prior notice within 2 hours of arrival Recommendation: Add certificate before export to avoid 24-hour customs hold Estimated impact: $2,400 delay cost avoided
Example 2: Sanctioned Entity Screening Result
Party Review: PASS for Importer OFAC list match: NO Bank (HSBC China): FLAGGED - Enhanced screening required Recommendation: Route through compliant financial institution or verify correspondent banking
Example 3: Tariff Optimization
Current HS Code: 8544.30.00 (Copper wire, 6.2% duty) Alternative HS: 8544.29.00 (Coated wire, 2.1% duty) Shipment value: $125,000 Potential savings: $5,000 annually if reclassified Recommendation: Request binding tariff ruling from Customs before implementing change
