# Agentive International

> Agentive International is an AI agent for freight forwarders and customs brokers in Australia. It reads commercial invoices, packing lists and bills of lading and checks them against each other, prepares the data for import declarations so the licensed customs broker can check and lodge them, suggests tariff classifications from product descriptions for the broker to confirm, prepares freight quotes from your rate sheets for approval, and tracks containers and sends clients clear updates. A licensed customs broker makes every classification and valuation decision and lodges every entry. It never lodges anything with the Australian Border Force itself.

## What the AI agent does
- [An AI agent that checks every commercial invoice](https://agentiveinternational.com/services/commercial-invoice-checks/): A commercial invoice is the seller's invoice for goods being shipped, showing the parties, description, quantity, value, currency and terms of sale, and it is the main document for customs valuation. The Agentive International AI agent reads the commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading for each shipment, checks they agree, flags missing or unclear details such as origin or incoterms, and drafts a request to the supplier. Your team checks before anything is used for entry.
- [An AI agent that prepares import declaration data](https://agentiveinternational.com/services/import-declarations/): An import declaration, often called an N10 for full entries, is lodged with the Australian Border Force for goods above the low value threshold and sets out the goods, value, origin, classification and duty. The Agentive International AI agent prepares the declaration data from the checked documents and the client's standing instructions, flags anything that needs a broker's judgement, and puts the entry in the broker's queue. Only the licensed customs broker checks and lodges it.
- [An AI agent that suggests tariff classifications](https://agentiveinternational.com/services/tariff-classification/): Tariff classification means finding the right code in the Customs Tariff for each product, which sets the duty rate and any concessions or restrictions. The Agentive International AI agent reads the product description, compares it with your past decisions for that client, suggests a classification with its reasons, and asks the supplier for missing details such as material or use. The licensed customs broker decides the classification and is responsible for it.
- [An AI agent that drafts every freight quote](https://agentiveinternational.com/services/freight-quotes/): A freight quote sets out the cost to move goods from origin to destination, including freight, surcharges, local charges, customs clearance and delivery. The Agentive International AI agent reads each quote request, asks the client for missing details such as dimensions, weight, incoterms or pickup address, drafts the quote from your current rate sheets and charges, and sends it once an operator approves. It never commits to rates you have not loaded.
- [An AI agent that keeps clients updated on every shipment](https://agentiveinternational.com/services/shipment-tracking/): Container tracking status shows where a shipment is, from gate in at origin to loading, departure, arrival, discharge, customs clearance and delivery. The Agentive International AI agent follows each shipment's status from carrier and terminal updates, spots delays, roll overs and holds, sends clients clear updates in your style, and alerts an operator when something needs action, such as a held container or a looming storage charge.
