When the same barrel of chemical raw material has three names in ERP, customs, and laboratory systems, compliance becomes an endless game of "spot the difference"
The enterprise has 100,000+ import/export materials, but ERP system, laboratory management system, and customs declaration system each operate independently. The same product "polyethylene" is called "PE-LD" in ERP, "low-density polyethylene" in the laboratory, and "polyethylene in primary forms" in customs declaration. Three names, three classifications, three tax rates.
For every new product import, customs personnel need to enter product information separately in 3 systems, manually comparing CAS numbers, HS codes, and regulatory conditions. One import involving 200+ new products required the customs team to work overtime for 2 consecutive weeks, yet still had 15% data entry errors, leading to repeated modifications in subsequent declarations.
Some chemical products involve multiple permits such as dual-use items, hazardous chemicals, and environmental protection regulations. Due to incomplete master data, the enterprise unknowingly imported chemicals requiring permits multiple times, receiving 3 customs administrative penalties with cumulative fines of 1.2 million yuan, and the enterprise rating dropped from Class A to Class B.
During the group's IPO audit, the accounting firm required complete compliance files for all import/export materials from the past 3 years. Due to master data chaos, the customs team spent 3 months manually organizing data, yet still couldn't guarantee data consistency. The audit opinion stating "material weaknesses in internal controls" kept the CFO awake at night.
Establish a "one material, one code" standardization system, unifying material naming rules, CAS number mapping, and HS code association. Connect ERP, LIMS, and customs declaration systems to achieve one-time data entry and global sharing, eliminating information silos.
Based on multi-dimensional information such as chemical structure, usage, and process parameters, AI automatically recommends HS codes. Covers all chemical product categories with 99.5% classification accuracy, reducing new material classification time from 2 days to 10 minutes.
Automatically associate permit requirements for hazardous chemicals, dual-use items, environmental regulations, etc., and verify document validity in real-time. Pre-import automatic alerts for missing documents, eliminating unlicensed import risks from the source, protecting enterprise Class A rating.
Build import/export full lifecycle data files, supporting one-click audit report generation. Audit cycle compressed from 3 months to 3 days, data traceable and verifiable, meeting IPO compliance and customs AEO certification requirements.
