Case Study: CustomsTrack achieves five-minute EU-UK customs clearance with ABBYY

Five-Minute Clearance Between UK and EU Border Expedites Delivery of Goods

CustomsTrack, a start-up using AI to simplify import and export processes, faced the challenge of slow, error-prone customs clearance after BREXIT made UK-EU border documentation more complex. Manual data entry into national customs systems was costly and delayed shipments, especially for manufacturers needing fast FMCG deliveries. CustomsTrack used ABBYY IDP to help automate this process.

ABBYY’s intelligent document processing solution extracted data from commercial invoices and packing lists with near-100% accuracy and fed it into the CustomsTrack platform to create customs declarations automatically. The result was customs clearance in under five minutes, 95% faster delivery of goods, 80% less processing effort, 99% straight-through processing, and 100% accuracy in submitted declaration data, with 24/7 automated filing availability.
