How it works

From source data to filed and tracked

The same agentic workflow that runs your customs declarations runs this sub-solution, connected to your data, your authorisations and your existing systems.

Step 1

Choose the right procedure

Based on your authorisation and the goods, the agent picks IP, OP, end-use or TA and warns when an authorisation amendment would unlock more savings.

Step 2

File with correct codes & evidence

Procedure code, additional procedure code, authorisation reference and evidence are attached in the right boxes for every member-state declaration system.

Step 3

Track usage & discharge

Goods stocks, processing yields and re-exports are tracked over time. When it's time to discharge, the BoD is generated automatically.

Capabilities

What the AI does for you

Each capability runs as part of the same agent, with no separate tools and no additional integrations.

Inward Processing (IPR)

Outward Processing (OPR)

Procedure 21/22, with re-import valuation and processing-cost accounting.

End-use (Procedure 44)

Stock account, end-use evidence, transfer of obligations between authorisation holders.

Temporary Admission

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the underlying customs authorisation is required by law. Digicust models your authorisation parameters and applies them on every line, but doesn't replace the authorisation itself. Our consulting team can help apply for or amend one.

From the imports, processing records and re-exports tied to the same authorisation. The BoD is built continuously, not at the end, so you always know your remaining liability.

Yes, equivalence (same 8-digit CN, same commercial quality, same technical characteristics) is supported, with full evidence preserved.
