# Data Extraction

Dexter's data extraction feature is a cutting-edge tool that enables businesses to automate the extraction of key data points from their customs documents with unparalleled accuracy. This feature is designed to save businesses time and resources by eliminating the need for manual data entry and processing, and ensuring that critical data is accurately captured and stored.

Dexter's data extraction feature is powered by advanced machine learning algorithms that are trained to identify and extract key data points from various customs documents, including invoices, packing lists, delivery notes, and waybills. With a 98% accuracy rate, Dexter's data extraction feature ensures that businesses can rely on the accuracy of the extracted data, without the need for manual verification.

This feature is end-to-end, meaning that it extracts data from raw customs documents and transforms it into submission-ready customs declarations for authorities.

Some document types we have great expertise automating data extraction from include:

* [Emails](/features/data-extraction/emails.md)
* [Invoices](/features/data-extraction/invoices.md)
* [Waybills](/features/data-extraction/waybills.md)
* [Packing Lists](/features/data-extraction/packing-lists.md)
* [Delivery Notes](/features/data-extraction/delivery-notes.md)
* [Export Declarations](/features/data-extraction/export-declarations.md)
* [Temporary Storage Documents](/features/data-extraction/temporary-storage-documents.md)
* [ATR Certificates](/features/data-extraction/atr-certificates.md)
* [Excel Files](/features/data-extraction/excel-files.md)

Choose your engine: Different engines have different advantages and disadvantages. Dexter IDP Elevator is fast, but less reliable than Dexter IDP Escalator. For regular use, we recommend Dexter IDP Escalator.

You can also choose here whether information from emails should be automatically extracted and considered for creating customs declarations.
