AI agent for customs brokers

Customs Audit Preparation Agent

Assemble a complete, organized audit response before the deadline.

Customs Audit Preparation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A customs audit notice requests five years of entries for a product group within thirty days, and the documents sit in email, shared drives and the filing system. From the audit scope, the agent builds a list of required items, such as entries, commercial invoices, packing lists, classification support, proof of payment and origin proof. It gathers what exists, checks each entry for completeness, and lists gaps. For each gap, it sends a request to the client or supplier with the exact document and date, and tracks the replies. After each batch of documents arrives, it checks completeness again, so the list always shows what is still open. It prepares the package index. The broker approves what is submitted. Edge case: documents in another language that need translation.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

An entry is complete when all required documents for it are present and match. The package is ready when no gaps remain or the broker accepts the gaps.

  • Count an entry complete only with all required documents
  • Send requests in one list per client
  • Remind every 3 days until the deadline minus 7 days
  • Flag documents needing translation early

An example run

What happensAn audit covers 212 entries over 3 years. The agent finds complete files for 171. Of the 41 gaps, 29 are missing proof of payment and 12 missing origin documents. It sends two requests to the client. After 5 days, 33 are closed and 8 remain, so it reminds the client. The index covers 204 entries with 8 explained gaps. The broker approves.
