The CargoWise Customs Module: What It Does
Customs is one of CargoWise's deepest modules, reflecting how much regulatory variation it has to handle across countries. Here's what it covers.
Key takeaways
- The customs module handles formal entries, low-value entries, and transit declarations.
- Native integration is available in countries where CargoWise connects directly to customs authorities.
- Classification assistants help reduce tariff coding errors.
- Landed costing ties customs data directly into shipment profitability.
Core declaration types
The module covers formal customs entries (with native integration in supported countries), low-value entry processing for smaller shipments, and transit and underbond movements — each with country-specific rules built in rather than treated generically.
Classification and costing
Beyond filing, the module includes classification assistants to help assign accurate tariff codes, and landed costing tools that calculate the true delivered cost of a shipment — duties, fees, and freight — directly from the same customs data.
Why this matters operationally
Because customs data lives in the same system as the shipment record, a declaration doesn't need to be re-keyed from a separate customs broker system — it's generated from data already captured during booking and consolidation.
