Automatically extract, classify and export customs documents to Excel without retyping.
Zollscanner reads invoices and packing lists, matches line items against the complete TARIC 2026 database and delivers an Excel file ready for transfer to customs, ERP or existing templates. Built for freight forwarders and importers in the European SME sector.
Processing customs documents is cumbersome and consumes valuable time.
A customs document typically requires 25 minutes of processing — copying data, researching HS codes, applying corrections and preparing Excel exports for customs systems.
Invoices arrive in many languages: German, English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Spanish and more. Each language has its own header conventions — “TOTAL NW”, “GW/CTN（KGS）”, “Zolltarifnummer”, “税则号” — and every variant must be recognised.
Every TARIC item is ten digits long and must be matched against an extensive database. Without AI-assisted pre-classification, every code requires research and every incorrect classification creates a compliance risk.
A structured workflow from source document to review-ready customs data.
Multi-stage document recognition
Zollscanner identifies senders, line items, quantities, prices, Incoterms, weights and packages in PDF, Excel (XLS / XLSX) and image files (PNG / JPG), including documents in any of the 16 supported document languages.
Automatic TARIC classification
Direct ten-digit classification validated against the TARIC 2026 database. Ambiguous cases are flagged for manual review rather than returned as unchecked results.
Merge invoices and packing lists
Invoices and packing lists can be merged in the editor by tariff code, line number or description. Quantities and values remain traceable and reviewable.
Excel export without retyping
Reviewed data can be exported as an individual structured Excel file. Up to 50 completed documents can also be downloaded as one ZIP containing a separate Excel file for each document — in German, English or Hungarian.
From receipt to a transfer-ready Excel file in four steps.
Every step runs in the browser without installation. You retain control before every export.
Upload
Queue up to 50 invoices or packing lists by drag and drop. Zollscanner recognises PDF, image and Excel formats; no more than three documents are processed end to end at the same time, and the rest start automatically.
Extract
Four parallel AI passes read senders, line items, prices, quantities, weights and packages, including multilingual column structures.
Classify
Direct assignment to ten-digit TARIC 2026 codes with database validation. Ambiguous cases are flagged rather than guessed.
Export
Export reviewed data to Excel for customs software, ERP systems or your own templates — structured and traceable.
