Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Detect declared customs valuation discrepancies between cross-border commercial invoices and freight rate baselines. Generate structured TradeTrust evidentiary packages and draft formal consignee clarification queries.

Customs Compliance Broker

Extract declared CIF prices, incoterms, and currency conversion rates from normalized trade permits.

Compare declared values against historical benchmark price bands for identical HS codes.

Bundle anomalous valuation records into an OpenAttestation wrapped compliance dossier.

Draft a structured clarification notice to the consignee requesting proof of payment and contracts.

A compliance analyst audit workbench showing price deviation percentiles, HS code benchmark comparisons, and notice generation tools.

Use open-attestation npm tools with synthetic customs declaration files containing deliberate valuation anomalies. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

OpenAttestation Apply OpenAttestation wrapDocuments and obfuscateDocument to protect sensitive counterparty pricing while preserving proofs.

anthropic-claude, @govtechsg/open-attestation, pydantic. Anthropic Claude delivers high-precision document comparison and clear regulatory correspondence drafting. Hosted Claude API with system prompt enforcement for objective document analysis.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Detects CIF declared values deviating more than 35% from historical HS code medians.

Generates an OpenAttestation wrapped evidence record with cryptographic salt fields.

Supports selective obfuscation of trade counterparty names before sharing audit files.

Produces compliant consignee clarification letters requesting purchase contracts and wire receipts.
