FAQ

Questions you may have

Are electronic documents recognized by customs?

Yes. The system supports international electronic document standards such as the electronic bill of lading (eB/L), electronic certificate of origin (e-CO) and electronic invoices, connecting to China e-Port and the customs Single Window, in line with compliance requirements of international bodies such as the ICC and WCO.

What types of foreign trade documents are supported?

Full coverage of 30+ standard trade documents including bill of lading (B/L), packing list (P/L), commercial invoice (C/I), proforma invoice (PI), certificate of origin (C/O), inspection & quarantine certificates, insurance policies, drafts and L/C clause checklists, with templates customizable per customer/product.

Can document fields be auto-filled from the contract?

Supported. Once linked to a sales contract, fields such as buyer/seller/product/quantity/amount/HS code/shipping marks are auto-filled into the corresponding documents; when the contract is changed all linked document fields update in sync, greatly reducing manual entry errors.

What errors can AI document validation detect?

It intelligently detects typical trade document errors such as inconsistent amounts, quantities conflicting with the packing list, HS codes mismatching product names, wrong shipping-mark formats and conflicting country of origin; documents that fail validation are automatically flagged in red, cutting error rates by 90%+.

How are data security and auditing ensured?

A multi-tenant data isolation architecture logs document creation, review and revision end to end, meeting customs inspection and compliance audit needs; it supports electronic signatures and on-prem deployment and is certified to ISO27001 and MLPS Level 3.

What is the implementation timeline and pricing?

The standard edition works out of the box, with account activation and initial setup done in 30 minutes; custom development typically takes 2-6 weeks. For a detailed quote, call our hotline 400-003-2253, and we will tailor a plan based on your team size and business complexity.
