AI-assisted customs compliance and supply-chain risk analysis
Maersk reported near-instant forced-labour risk assessments for a customer whose manual review took approximately 100 person-days
Problem
Manual customs audits relied on samples and could miss risks elsewhere in a customer's declarations. Supply-chain mapping could become outdated before analysts finished it.
Approach
Maersk's customs consulting unit introduced AI tools in 2022 to read documents and propose tariff classifications. Supply-chain models traced upstream risks. Specialists checked classifications before delivery, while other outputs identified risks for further investigation.
Results
Takeaway
The faster mapping result concerned a single customer's assessment. Expert review remained part of the consulting workflow.
