Auto-fill sea freight import declarations from B/L data

Shipper, consignee, notify party, vessel, voyage, port of loading, port of discharge, container numbers, cargo descriptions, weights, and measurements from the B/L are mapped to Thai Customs import declaration fields automatically.

Container-level data is itemized in the declaration: each container's number, seal, type/size, gross weight, and cargo description populates a separate line item, ensuring the declaration matches the physical shipment exactly.

Automated HS code classification from cargo descriptions

Goods descriptions from the B/L are analyzed and matched against Thailand's Harmonized System tariff database. The system suggests HS codes ranked by confidence, taking into account the product description, trade lane, and historical classification patterns.

Once confirmed, duty rates (MFN, ASEAN, JTEPA, RCEP, and other FTA rates), excise taxes, and VAT are calculated automatically. The declarant sees a complete cost breakdown before submitting the declaration.

Multi-Container Declarations

Handle multi-container declarations from a single B/L

Ocean B/Ls often cover multiple containers with different cargo inside each. The system creates itemized declaration entries per container, mapping each container's cargo description to the appropriate HS code and calculating duties individually.

Total declared values, weights, and duty amounts are aggregated across all containers and cross-checked against the B/L totals. Discrepancies are flagged before submission, preventing rejection by Thai Customs.

FAQ

Common questions about B/L e-Customs Filing

Does this support Thai Customs e-Import filing?
Yes. KabyTech generates XML compatible with the Thai Customs e-Import system and can submit through your customs broker's electronic gateway or directly via the NSW (National Single Window).
How are HS codes determined from B/L cargo descriptions?
The system uses NLP-based text matching against Thailand's HS tariff database combined with historical filing patterns for your company. Multiple suggestions are ranked by confidence for operator review.
Which FTA rates are supported?
The system includes ASEAN (ATIGA), JTEPA, TAFTA, TNZCEP, RCEP, and other bilateral FTA rates. The best applicable rate is suggested automatically based on the country of origin.
How are multi-container B/Ls handled in the declaration?
Each container's cargo is declared as a separate line item with its own HS code, value, weight, and duty calculation. Totals are aggregated and cross-checked against B/L header figures.
Can it handle B/Ls with mixed cargo types?
Yes. When a B/L contains different cargo types across containers, the system creates separate declaration items for each cargo type with individual HS code classifications.
