The Customs Automation Rules Engine That Speaks Your Language
Agent Studio lets customs brokers customize AI behavior per importer using plain English rules. No code, no config files, no IT tickets. Just tell the AI what you need and it listens.
Every Importer Is Different - Your Automation Should Be Too
No two importers work the same way. One uses European decimal formatting. Another has pre-negotiated HTS codes. A third ships steel products that need specific mill-level detail on every line. This importer-specific knowledge is critical - and it usually lives in a senior broker's head.
Tribal Knowledge Is a Risk
Your experienced entry writers rely on years of accumulated knowledge about each client. It lives in an array of different places. If that person leaves, the knowledge goes with them.
Staff Turnover Breaks Consistency
New hires make mistakes not because they lack skill, but because nobody told them "this importer always wants the packing list weight." The onboarding cost is real and recurring.
Generic Automation Falls Short
Most customs software treats every importer the same. Without per-importer rules, automation generates entries that need manual correction every time.
How Agent Studio Works
Turn your expertise into persistent, enforceable rules - written in plain English and applied automatically to every entry.
Select an Importer
Open Agent Studio and choose the importer you want to configure. Each importer gets its own set of rules, so nothing bleeds across clients.
Write Rules in Plain English
Type your rule the way you would explain it to a colleague. For example: "Always use net weight from the packing list" or "Flag any entry where unit value deviates more than 15% from the 90-day average."
AI Applies Rules Automatically
Every time a new entry comes in for that importer, Cervo AI reads and enforces your rules during processing. No manual intervention needed.
Review and Refine Over Time
Add new rules as you learn more about an importer. Edit or remove rules that no longer apply. Agent Studio keeps a full audit trail of every change.
Purpose-Built Agents for Every Step of the Entry
Agent Studio includes a library of specialized agents, each designed to handle a specific part of the customs entry workflow. Here are a few examples.
Automatically splits multi-page document packages into individual files classified by document type.
Pulls structured data like shipper, consignee, and manufacturer details from unstructured documents.
Extracts line-level detail from commercial invoices including part numbers, quantities, values, and country of origin.
Matches extracted part numbers against your Parts Library to pull in established classifications and historical data.
Identifies ports of lading, unlading, and export from bills of lading and other shipping documents.
Additional agents handle mode of transport, container details, weight calculations, and other entry fields. New agents are added regularly.
Real-World Rules You Can Write Today
Agent Studio accepts rules covering extraction, classification, validation, valuation, and documentation. Here are examples customs brokers use in production.
Extraction Behavior
"For this importer, always use net weight from the packing list, not the commercial invoice."
Classification Override
"This importer has pre-negotiated HTS codes. Always use the HTS code from the purchase order when available."
Validation Threshold
"Flag any entry where unit value deviates more than 15% from the 90-day average for the same part number."
Decimal Formatting
"This importer uses European decimal formatting. Treat commas as decimal separators and periods as thousands separators on all invoices."
Fuzzy Part Matching
"Part numbers on commercial invoices may include extra dashes or spaces. Use fuzzy matching with 90% similarity threshold when looking up parts in the Parts Library."
Documentation Standard
"For this importer, always include the manufacturer ID on line-level details even if the invoice does not list it. Use the value from the parts database."
