What is a customs declaration?
A customs declaration is a formal statement submitted by individuals or entities when crossing international borders, either through importing or exporting goods.
It provides detailed information about the nature, quantity, value, and origin of the items being transported.
Customs declarations are crucial for customs authorities to assess applicable duties and taxes, enforce regulations, and ensure compliance with trade laws.
The accuracy and completeness of these declarations are essential for facilitating smooth customs clearance processes and preventing illegal or prohibited goods from entering or leaving a country.

How does customs declaration OCR work?
You can use our OCR SDK scanner for direct scanning or upload photos and PDFs to our OCR API, starting the process with a simple action and then letting technology take over.
