AI+ Customs Officers

Screen, Clear and Enforce Smarter with AI

You cleared 47 declarations before lunch. Now write the seizure notice, file the case notes, and prep the intelligence brief — before end of shift.

You clear hundreds of declarations, screen dozens of passengers, and write enforcement reports you barely have time to proofread — all on the same shift. AI is already running in the national targeting systems that feed your risk assessments. This book puts the same capability in your hands: the DECLARE Protocol for legally defensible AI-assisted decisions, 35 copy-ready prompts for every customs task from manifest review to seizure notices, and a 90-day starter plan calibrated to your role. Built by an AI engineering firm for customs professionals who carry real enforcement authority — and need AI tools that respect the legal weight of every decision.
