Frequently asked questions
What is certificate of origin processing?
Certificate of origin processing is the workflow exporters and importers use to capture, validate and verify origin certification data for customs clearance and trade compliance. Our AI certificate of origin processing software automates this entire process – extracting certificate numbers, country of origin, goods descriptions and signatures to speed up customs clearance and ensure compliance with international trade requirements.
What is certificate of origin data extraction?
Certificate of origin data extraction is the process of reading a certificate of origin and capturing critical data points such as certificate numbers, exporter and importer details, country of origin, goods descriptions, signatures and reference numbers. Our platform uses AI to automate certificate of origin data extraction, converting unstructured documents into structured data ready for customs, ERP, trade compliance and supply chain systems.
What is certificate of origin extraction?
Certificate of origin extraction is the automatic capture of key data from certificates of origin using AI. Our certificate of origin extraction software combines reading order models, OCR, LLMs, RAG and more to convert this information with high accuracy and faster processing times.
What is a certificate of origin parser?
A certificate of origin parser is software that automatically reads and extracts data from certificates of origin. It converts these documents into structured, machine-readable formats ready for downstream systems. Our AI certificate of origin parser handles variations in layout, language and format with ease, learning from every interaction to deliver the exact output your customs, ERP and trade compliance systems need.
What is certificate of origin line extraction?
Certificate of origin line extraction captures detailed goods information from your certificates of origin – including product descriptions, quantities, values and classifications for each item. Our AI handles these grouped data structures with precision, preserving the relationships between fields so every line item flows accurately into your customs, ERP and trade compliance systems.
What data fields can Affinda's AI certificate of origin processing software extract?

What are some examples of AI certificate of origin workflow automations?
AI certificate of origin processing automates and streamlines international trade workflows across functions such as:
- Trade Compliance Teams: Speed up origin verification and reduce compliance risk by automatically extracting certificate numbers, country of origin, signatures and goods descriptions. Business-rule validation flags certificates that need review, catching missing reference numbers, expired certificates, incorrect issuing authorities and declaration mismatches.
- Customs Brokers: Accelerate customs clearance by feeding structured certificate data directly into customs systems, eliminating manual data entry and reducing shipment delays.
- Import/Export Operations: Use self-learning AI that adapts to different certificate formats – from Form A to Form E – simplifying certificate validation and improving visibility across your supply chain and ERP systems.
What is a certificate of origin OCR data extractor?
A certificate of origin optical character recognition (OCR) data extractor scans and accurately captures information from certificates of origin, regardless of format or language. Upload certificate documents in PDF, JPG or PNG formats. The OCR technology first converts the documents into a text layer, ensuring all text (even from scans, photos or signatures) is captured. Affinda's AI models then identify and extract key fields such as certificate numbers, exporter and importer details, country of origin, goods descriptions, signatures and reference numbers, transforming them into structured, usable data.
This automation eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors and speeds up customs clearance. Once the certificate of origin data is captured and structured, our AI certificate of origin processing pipeline can apply machine validation and post-processing to enable seamless integration with customs, ERP, trade compliance and supply chain systems.
Businesses in international trade rely on Affinda's AI for their origin verification, customs clearance and trade compliance processes, streamlining workflows and improving overall efficiency.
