See shipments 30–35 days earlier
Full visibility before loading. No blind period.
Advanced Cargo Declaration
Early visibility. Accurate declarations. Revenue protection.
PortSwift's AI-powered ACD platform gives governments 30–35 days of verified cargo data before arrival, stopping under-declaration and protecting borders at the point of origin.
Why Governments Choose PortSwift
Stop document manipulation at origin
Verified exporters + AI validation stop under-declaration.
Increase revenue with clean, accurate data
Governments receive complete, reliable information long before arrival.
The Problem Today
Data arrives too late
Authorities receive accurate information only 4–5 days before arrival.
Documents change after loading
Values and HS codes can be altered during transit.
Revenue leaks and smuggling
Little visibility at origin → duties lost → high-risk cargo slips through.
How PortSwift Fixes It
We close the information gap between origin and destination.
PortSwift connects exporters at origin directly with your government before loading, giving 30+ days of verified data and full control.

Our Technology
Three pillars of intelligent cargo verification
01
Data Capture
Structured forms + full export documentation designed for government workflows.
02
External Data Verification
- Global market price benchmarks
- Real-time vessel tracking
- Banking & company identity checks
- Sanctions screening
03
AI Risk Engine
Instant flags → Faster decisions → More accurate controls.
- Value anomalies detection
- Exporter/importer profile mismatches
- Impossible trade routes identification
- Industry inconsistencies flagging
- Sanctioned transshipment stops alerts
Examples of Automated Risk Alerts
Route mismatch: cargo takes unexpected high-risk stops
Industry mismatch: a textile exporter ships generators
Price alert: declared value far below global index
Sanctions: vessel stops at an embargoed port
The system warns you before the cargo is loaded.
Operational Intelligence for Authorities
You get a full national shipment database with:
- Risk scores
- HS-code ranking
- Top importers
- Top shipping lines
- Monthly patterns
- Suspicious shipments
All organized for customs, finance, intelligence, and port leadership.
Real-Time Financial Dashboard
Track revenue by:
- Date range
- Carrier
- HS code
- Country of origin
One-click export to Excel.
Security & Compliance
Stop unwanted goods at the port of loading.
If HS codes are restricted or banned, the system automatically rejects the application.
This protects borders against:
- Contaminated goods
- Sanctioned items
- High-risk cargo
Transshipment Policy
ACD applies only when the container is discharged in your country.
- Staying on vessel → No ACD
- Discharged for transit or direct import → ACD required
This closes loopholes where misdeclared cargo enters via land routes.
