Cut Costs with Automated Customs Management

Customs automation software significantly lowers the price per declaration by replacing manual, time-intensive broker processes with efficient, automated workflows. Automated data reuse, validation, and processing reduce the effort required for each declaration, allowing higher volumes to be handled at a much lower unit cost.

With automation handling regular and high-volume flows in-house, brokers can be leveraged for less frequent or exceptional shipments. This targeted use of brokers reduces overall processing fees, limits manual intervention, and enables companies to cut broker costs by up to 80%, while maintaining accuracy and compliance.

Customs automation software reduces duty costs by applying smart picking rules and intelligent duty logic consistently across all shipments. Automated stock picking ensures goods are released under the most favourable customs duty conditions, avoiding overpayment and missed opportunities.

By combining smart picking rules with automated application of Free Trade Agreements, preferential origin rules, and duty relief schemes, automation captures customs duty savings that are often missed in manual processes. Smart classification, supported by validated commodity codes and Binding Tariff Information (BTIs), ensures the correct duty rates are applied every time.

This rule-based, automated approach eliminates manual interpretation and reduces duty leakage. Moreover, it lowers indirect costs such as penalties, customs delays, demurrage, and errors caused by late or incorrect documents. As a result, companies only pay the duties that are legally required while keeping goods moving without disruption.

Customs automation software reduces operational costs by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks across your customs processes. Data entry, validation, filing, and reporting are handled automatically, limiting manual intervention and significantly lowering the risk of errors that lead to rework and delays.

With automation in place, teams move to exception-based management, focusing only on cases that require attention. This reduces day-to-day workload, increases processing capacity, and allows customs specialists to spend time on higher-value activities such as duty optimisation, compliance oversight, and process improvement.
