Transmission

The Compliance Agent: Your Digital Broker

2 min read

Stop Getting Stuck at the Border.

Global trade doesn't forgive typos. A single wrong digit on an invoice can hold your container hostage for weeks.
The Compliance Agent proofreads your paperwork like a forensic auditor.

The $300/Day Typo

Your supplier sends a Commercial Invoice. They copy-pasted the HS Code from last year's order: 6205.20 ("Men's Shirts").

But this container is full of Boy's Cotton Shirts.

The container lands in Le Havre. Customs flags the mismatch.

They pull it for inspection. It sits in the yard for 21 days. You pay **Demurrage** fees of $300 every single day. That's $6,300 in fines for one wrong digit.

The Customs Firewall

C4Context title System Context: Compliance Agent Person(manager, "Logistics Manager", "Prepares shipping docs.") Enterprise_Boundary(b0, "Runink Trade") { System(agent, "Compliance Agent", "Digital Broker.") System_Ext(tariff, "Global Tariff DB", "HTS / Schedule B") System_Ext(erp, "ERP Product Data", "SKU Materials") System_Boundary(b1, "Customs Filing") { System_Ext(broker, "Customs Broker", "Files Entry") } } Rel(manager, agent, "Uploads Invoice (PDF)") Rel(agent, erp, "Checks SKU Spec: 'Boy's Cotton'") Rel(agent, tariff, "Validates Code: Expects 6207.91") Rel(agent, manager, "BLOCKS DOC: Wrong HS Code") Rel(agent, broker, "Submits Verified Data")

It catches the error *before* the file leaves your email.

How It Wins: The "Line-Item" Audit

The Agent reads every line of your PDF Commercial Invoice and cross-references it with reality.

1. The Classification Check
It reads "Boy's Cotton T-Shirt" and queries the Global Tariff Schedule. It sees the code `6205.20`. It knows that code is restricted for quotas in France. It suggests the correct code: `6207.91`.

2. The Paperwork Scan
It knows that shipping cotton to the EU requires a Certificate of Origin (COO) to prove it's not from a sanctioned region. If that PDF page is missing, it alerts you immediately: *"Missing COO. Do not ship."*

3. The Green Lane
When you file perfect paperwork for 12 months straight, you get flagged as a "Low Risk Importer." Your containers stop getting pulled. Speed increases. Demurrage drops to zero.
