SC-2 — Logistics & import-export document automation.

Translate documents keeping layout, suggest HS codes, prepare import tax and reconcile PODs so freight payments are not blocked. Today: • Shipping documents such as invoices, ingredient lists, and MSDS are typically issued in English, while customs clearance, Chemical declaration in Vietnam often requires Vietnamese reference or translation for review and submission. The current manual translation process is time-consuming and can introduce errors, especially for import-export, chemical, and food-related terminology. In addition, the translated content must be inserted back into the original template while preserving layout, images, and formatting, which creates significant extra effort. • HS code classification requires review of many data points such as product description, composition, exporter information, technical documents, tariff schedule, legal rules, and historical precedents. Manual research is time-consuming and may lead to inconsistent classification. HS code classification determines import duty rates, specialized permits and inspection requirements — a wrong code can mean tax arrears, potential financial exposure, or duty outcomes that are hard to spot. Each case requires weighing many sources at once. Each case could take considerable time, and two people classifying the same type of goods might arrive at different codes. • The current IMEX tax payment process has multiple steps, mostly manual entry and copy-paste between Shipping, IMEX and Finance. It might take longer than expected, and late or insufficient payment might create financial exposure. • POD information is updated through several layers, and each data re-entry might introduce discrepancies; as POD is a legal document, missing or incorrect PODs could delay freight payments and create audit exposure.

• Save processing time, improve translation consistency, reduce manual formatting work, and support faster customs clearance. • Reduce research time, improve consistency, support faster decision-making, and reduce potential customs compliance issues. • Tax payment: convert PDF declarations into structured Excel on a fixed template and reconcile tax amounts automatically, reducing manual work and errors so payments are made ahead of the deadline and Finance and NBS posting stay on schedule. • POD: a single POD source shared by transporters, warehouse and the Transport team that matches the hard copies and supports instant retrieval.
