2. AI Solves "Judgment Errors, Over-reliance on Individuals, and Legal Revisions" for Export Control Personnel

Export control operations have become an "invisible risk" for many companies involved in exports. According to a survey by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, approximately 70% of violations of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (Foreign Exchange Act) are attributed to errors in product classification. If a violation is discovered, it can lead to criminal penalties and export bans, as well as directly result in a loss of corporate trust. Despite this situation, it is common practice in the field to visually check PDF specifications and Excel sheets, and decisions are mostly dependent on specific skilled personnel.

KSA International and HEROZ are jointly developing a service to address these challenges with AI technology.

3. Initiatives to be Introduced at the Exhibition

At this exhibition, KSA International and HEROZ will introduce their jointly developed export control support service, which combines AI with expert knowledge.

Automatic reading of specifications by AI: AI automatically extracts necessary information for classification from complex PDF specifications.

Visualization of classification basis: AI presents the reasons and basis for classification (applicable/non-applicable), allowing skilled engineers to easily verify the results.

Standardization of classification quality: AI ensures consistent classification criteria, achieving a stable export control system.

Companies considering streamlining export control operations, reducing risks, or outsourcing should visit our booth. Our staff will provide direct explanations.
