AI tools supporting customs clearance for Vietnamese businesses

The import/export process demands accuracy at every step: classifying the right HS code, calculating the correct duty, and preparing an error-free document set. As a technology-driven customs broker, Avenir Logistics builds free AI tools that help businesses handle these tasks quickly in the browser, reducing the risk of errors and shortening declaration time.

Why does the HS Code matter?

The HS code determines the import duty rate, specialised management policies, and eligibility for FTA preferences. A wrong HS code can lead to tax arrears, delayed clearance, or penalties. Avenir's tool suggests the code from a plain description with a confidence score, and quotes the verbatim chapter/section notes and General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) from Circular 31/2022 so you can verify it - instead of just returning a number. When a decisive detail is missing, the AI asks rather than guessing.

Do your goods fall under a specialised management list?

The right HS code and the right duty still do not guarantee clearance: the same goods may need a conformity declaration, quality inspection, quarantine or an import licence - or be banned outright - and each obligation sits in the appendix of a different instrument, administered by a different ministry. Avenir's specialised management lists tool transcribes each appendix's HS table verbatim with a quick filter by code or product name, spells out the criteria for deciding whether an item falls in the list, the procedure to follow and the agency in charge. Checking at quotation time lets you price the lead time and cost correctly, instead of discovering the requirement once the cargo is at the port.

Document check & ECUS5 declaration export

Discrepancies between the Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading are a common reason shipments get held. The document check tool uses Gemini AI to extract data from PDFs, cross-check, and flag discrepancies in weight, quantity, and consignee - then exports a standard ECUS5/VNACCS Excel file so you can open the declaration.

Read & review chemical SDS for imports

Importing chemicals requires reading the Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) correctly: identifying composition, CAS numbers, GHS hazard classification, and the right HS code. Avenir's SDS reader uses AI to extract the 16 SDS sections, suggest HS codes for both the product and each substance, and cross-check the controlled-chemical list - helping you prepare chemical import declarations quickly and accurately.

Estimate freight & plan container loading

Before booking with a carrier or forwarder, you need to know whether a shipment is heavy or light-and-bulky, its total CBM and how many containers it needs. Avenir's freight & container calculator computes chargeable weight per method (Air ÷6000, Road ÷3000, Sea LCL by revenue ton, Express ÷5000), totals CBM like a packing list, and suggests a 20'/40'/40'HC container type with fill rate by both volume and payload.

Track container location & vessel schedule

Once the cargo is on board, you need to know where the container is and when the vessel arrives so you can prepare clearance and arrange pickup in time. Avenir's container & vessel tracking tool auto-detects the carrier from the container-number prefix (ISO 6346) or the SCAC code on the B/L, then takes you straight to that carrier's tracking portal - no need to remember each carrier's website. It also links to the ePort yard-status pages of major Vietnamese ports such as Cat Lai, Hai Phong and Da Nang.

Estimate duty & cost before importing

Before placing an order, businesses need to know the total landed cost including import duty, VAT, and surcharges. The tax calculator lets you quickly estimate based on HS code, cargo value, and freight, supporting pricing and cash-flow decisions.
