AI Operations Layer · Cross-Border Supply Chain

Cut the friction from
every trade lane.

PierForge automates HS code classification, tariff calculation, CEPA/RCEP/CBEC optimization, and customs documentation for CN–HK–ASEAN cross-border operators. Every AI action runs through approval bands — Band D (payment, customs filing) requires a human signature.

Core Modules

Four engines. One operations layer.

🏷

HS Classifier

Derives 6–10 digit HS codes from product category, ingredients, and destination market. Outputs source-grounded confidence with regulatory status.

Classification

📊

Tariff Calculator

Computes landed cost including MFN duty, preferential rates (CEPA/RCEP), VAT, and CBEC rules. Supports de minimis thresholds by corridor.

Calculation

📄

Document Generator

Generates commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and customs declarations. Band D gated — filing requires human sign-off.

Compliance

📡

Trade Intelligence

Monitors policy changes affecting your corridors: CEPA supplement amendments, RCEP origin rule updates, CBEC positive-list revisions, and CN export restrictions.

Intelligence

The Problem

Cross-border ops is document-heavy by design.

Every shipment across a customs boundary triggers a chain of regulated, document-heavy tasks: HS code lookup, duty calculation, origin-rule verification, declaration filing. Mid-size CN exporters run this across 3–5 corridors simultaneously — yet cannot afford an 8-person compliance team per lane.

See Use Cases →

Manual HS lookup — 30–60 min per SKU, error-prone

Automated 6–10 digit classification with confidence score in seconds

Duty calculated at MFN rate, CEPA savings missed

Preferential rates auto-applied per origin certificate type

New CBEC rules discovered after a shipment is held

Trade intelligence flags policy changes before next PO

No audit trail — CFO cannot reconcile customs to invoices

7-year tamper-evident ledger: every action, model, sign-off

Market Opportunity

Where PierForge operates.

Four primary trade lanes. Each corridor carries distinct tariff structures, regulatory frameworks, and compliance burdens. (All figures are indicative market-size references — sample data only.)

HK → China GBA

CEPA·0%

Duty rate for qualifying HK-origin goods

CEPA Supplement · Form CO required · GBA fast-lane clearance

CN → ASEAN

RCEP·8

ASEAN markets under RCEP framework

RCEP origin rules · CN Certificate of Origin Form R · SG, TH, MY, VN, ID, PH, MM, KH

EU → China

MFN+VAT

Standard duty + 9–13% VAT on most goods

GACC registration for food · CE/UKCA for regulated products

US → China

301+

Section 301 tariffs stacked on MFN rates

Dynamic rate environment — intelligence monitoring recommended

Data note: Tariff rates and trade agreement terms change. PierForge surfaces indicative calculations and policy alerts. All customs declarations, duty payments, and regulatory filings require verification by a licensed customs broker or trade compliance professional. PierForge does not guarantee tariff outcomes.
