This system automates the calculation of duties and taxes on imported commercial goods and flags potentially non-compliant import transactions for review by Canada Border Services Agency officers. It uses rule-based logic applied to trade data submitted by importers and customs brokers. All flagged transactions are reviewed by human officers before any compliance action is taken, and importers have access to formal recourse processes.
