iCarriage AI

Customs brokerage

The checks happen before you approve, not after.

An eight-step review that front-loads every screening, classification and timing question — so the file is either clean when it reaches you, or it tells you exactly why it isn't.

The review

Eight steps, in the order the work actually happens.

  1. Intake forms

    Review what the importer submitted, with confidence flags on any field the parser inferred rather than read.

  2. Booking info

    Vessel, voyage, ports, ETD/ETA and container detail, reconciled against the carrier's own booking confirmation.

  3. Parties

    Importer of record, EIN, shipper and consignee — screened as you go, not at the end.

  4. Documents

    Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading. Gaps are called out before you proceed.

  5. HTS & classification

    Per-line suggestions with duty rates. Override any line; the override is what goes on the record.

  6. Valuation

    Entered value, duty liability and first-sale scenarios where the transaction supports it.

  7. Magaya preview

    The draft as Magaya will receive it, with a pre-flight check on the fields that commonly reject.

  8. Approve or reject

    One decision, written immutably with your identity, timestamp and reasoning.

Compliance

Screening that blocks, not screening that warns.

A denied-party match is not a notification you can dismiss. Above the confidence threshold, approval is refused.

Parties

Lists screened

OFAC SDN, BIS Denied Persons, BIS Entity List, EU consolidated and UN Security Council.

Thresholds

Graded outcomes

A clear result passes. A near-match escalates and needs supervisor acknowledgement. A high-confidence match blocks approval outright.

Coverage

Other regimes

Antidumping and countervailing duty flags, FDA and EAR checks, and trade-agreement eligibility.

Scope

What iCarriage does and doesn't do here.

It does

  • Prepare and validate the entry packet
  • Screen parties and flag duty exposure
  • Track the ISF window and warn before it closes
  • Generate the cover letter and Magaya draft
  • Record every decision immutably

It does not

  • — File directly with CBP. A licensed broker does that.
  • — Make a compliance determination. AI output requires your review and sign-off.
  • — Replace your professional judgement or your licence.
