Certificate of Origin Verifier

Trade compliance teams spend hours manually checking each certificate of origin against complex trade agreement rules, and a single missed discrepancy can lead to incorrect duty payments or customs delays. This assistant extracts every declared field from the uploaded document, cross-references country of origin claims and HS code classifications against current trade rules via web search, then drafts a structured verification report with a compliance verdict and risk flags. You review one clear table instead of hunting for rules yourself - compliance becomes consistent and auditable.

How it works

1. A certificate of origin document arrives via an intake form upload or forwarded email attachment.
2. The assistant extracts all declared fields: exporter, consignee, HS code, country of origin, and goods description.
3. It cross-checks the declared origin against applicable trade agreement rules and HS code classification using web search, flagging discrepancies.
4. A structured verification report is drafted with a compliance verdict (Pass / Review Required / Fail) and risk flags, ready for your approval.

Key benefits

• Verify against current trade rules instantly instead of hunting through PDF references.
• Catch discrepancies between declared origin and HS code before submission.
• Reduce per-certificate review time from 30+ minutes to under a minute.
• Create an auditable trail of verified certificates with consistent compliance verdicts.

Use cases

• Trade compliance officers reviewing certificates of origin from suppliers.
• Freight forwarders pre-clearing shipments for customs.
• Import/export managers ensuring preferential duty claims are valid.
• Customs brokers auditing documentation before filing.

Good to know

Works out of the box - no external connection needed. The assistant drafts the verification report; a compliance officer approves before any customs filing.

It works with any certificate of origin document containing standard fields like exporter, consignee, HS code, and country of origin, regardless of format or trade agreement.
