VENPORT / HOW IT WORKS

From shipment to decision.

Four connected steps that turn scattered trade information into a filing a broker can review with confidence.

Prototype = working today. In development = being built.

01 / UnderstandIn development

Start with what is actually being shipped.

Every filing begins with facts scattered across invoices, packing lists and product descriptions. Venport reads these inputs and turns them into one structured picture of the shipment.

What this step does

01Reads product descriptions and shipment details.

02Pulls out the facts that matter for classification: what the goods are, what they are made of, how they are used.

03Flags what is missing or unclear before anything is classified.

02 / ClassifyPrototype

Find the right HS/HSN code.

Classification is the decision everything else depends on. Venport suggests HS/HSN codes from a plain-language product description, and an early prototype of this classifier works today.

03 / ValidateIn development

Catch errors before they reach ICEGATE.

A filing can be well classified and still fail on small inconsistencies. Venport is being built to check a draft filing before submission, while problems are still easy to fix.

04 / MonitorIn development

Stay current as the rules change.

Trade rules move across CBIC, DGFT and FEMA. Venport is planned to track those changes and point out the ones that affect the goods a broker handles.

What this step does

01Tracks circulars and notifications from CBIC, DGFT and FEMA.

02Matches changes to the HS/HSN codes in use.

03Alerts brokers to what changed and why it matters.

Good to knowAlerts are advisory. Brokers decide what to act on.

Try it alongside your current workflow.

The first way to work with Venport is a Shadow Mode Pilot. It runs alongside a broker's existing workflow, so nothing changes operationally.
