✨Rules & Templates

Rules is a feature of our service that allows users to configure conditions for the automatic overriding or fallback of values in customs documents. With this feature, users can set conditions based on certain values or attributes in customs documents, and specify the values to be overridden or fallback values to be provided. This feature streamlines the customs clearance process and ensures consistency and accuracy in customs documents.
The Rules Configuration feature allows users to set conditions based on certain values or attributes in customs documents. For example, users can set a condition that if the shipper is "xy" and the total value does not exceed 10,000 EUR, a certain customs representation mode should be applied. Users can also specify the values to be overridden or fallback values to be provided based on these conditions.
Setting "Fallback to"-rules is equivalent of setting a template of values to be used if Digicust can not provide more accurate data from the documents you uploaded. This way, you can apply conditional templates based on the conditions you set.
An execution strategy can have unlimited rules assigned. As you scale to hundreds of rules, you can give rules different names that you can search through. You can move rules up and down. Higher rules have higher weight and will overwrite conflicting values from lower rank.
With rules, you can conditionally modify all matching line items. An example would be, that if the shipper is from country XY, then always assume country of origin XY.
You can even conditionally modify the execution strategy. This way, you could set up that if the declarant is from Germany, send the data to customs software Dakosy and if the declarant is from Switzerland, then send the data to Mercurio.
You want your customs declarants to be warned if specific conditions are met? For example, if the goods are worth more than EUR 100.000 you might want to trigger a warning that the user should have another look before sending to the authorities. These validation messages appear in both the notification emails and in our frontend.
Sometimes there are use-cases for rules that apply across all execution strategies. For that purpose, add rules directly to the project under project settings:
Just browse our catalog of pre-defined rules to see what would be useful for your customs case automations.
