Cross-Border Trade Compliance Verification Engine for Cross-Straits Logistics

Truck freight logistics moving across Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia require strict verification of cross-border customs documentation, driver permits, and hazardous cargo clearance declarations before vehicles approach border checkpoints. In this challenge, you will implement a cross-border customs verification agent using Pydantic AI. The agent validates multi-lingual consignment declarations against Singapore Customs and Royal Malaysian Customs regulations, checks permit expiration dates, and produces validated border pass authorization tokens.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy of trade document validation and error detection.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

expired_permit_block

Must reject clearance if permit expiry precedes current date.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

validation_latency_ms

Agent execution time per validation payload • target: 450 • range: 10-3000

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
