AI4Clearance refers to the development of an AI algorithm that seeks to facilitate the extraction of the product description from shipping documents and at the same time automatically match the product description with the tariff heading indicated in customs clearance. This would ensure that the entire process that was carried out manually is now done through technology that extracts the relevant data from all the documents it receives.

Using a tool like this can help speed up the customs management of an eCommerce package, lighten the workload, solve administrative bottlenecks, provide accuracy and control in the request for tariffs and combat fraud that may be visible during the packing process.

The AI4Clearance experimental is a clear example of collaboration between the public and private sectors so that new technologies serve business development and improve the management of public resources.
