TradeFlow AI
Ask a contextual assistant about customs and regulatory flows, with clear limitations and sources where available.
TradeFlow AI uses company and transaction context to structure an answer, suggest checks, and direct users to the relevant workspace tools.
Available context
- Company country and role
- Product and logistics flow
- Customs or regulatory question
- Data already saved in the workspace
Outputs
- Structured response
- Assumptions and limitations
- Actions and documents to verify
- Direction to a tool or source
Method
The assistant combines submitted context, application rules, and an AI model. Critical outputs must be verified and can be edited before use.
Question example
Asked “Can I sell US-made cosmetics to French customers through Amazon FBA?”, the assistant uses the company profile to list the EORI number, the responsible person required by the Cosmetics Regulation, CPNP notification, labelling and the VAT registration triggered by FBA stock in France, then links to the tools that check each point.
Limitations
Generated answers may be incomplete or wrong. They are not legal, tax, or customs advice and never replace an official decision.
