Step 3: Upload Your First Document

Our AI will automatically extract:
- Shipper and consignee information
- Goods description and quantities
- Invoice value and currency
- Incoterms and payment terms
📌 Pro tip: Clear, high-resolution documents = better AI accuracy. Avoid blurry or partially obscured data.
Step 4: Review Extracted Data
Once processing completes (usually under 30 seconds), review the extracted data. Each field shows a confidence badge (green = high, yellow = medium, red = low). If a field is inaccurate, click to edit it manually.
Click "Create Declaration" to proceed to the declaration form.
Step 5: Generate Your First Declaration
Follow the 5-step declaration form:
- General: Declaration type (IM4, IM5, IM7), office code, nature of transaction
- Parties: Importer/exporter, bill-to party, notify party
- Goods: Item descriptions, HS codes, quantities, values
- Valuation: Freight, insurance, other charges
- Review: Final check, confirm the HS code, generate ASYCUDA XML
HS codes are pre-filled by our AI classifier. Verify each code is correct or adjust manually using the tariff browser.
Step 6: Download & Submit
Once you've verified all data, click "Generate ASYCUDA XML". The XML file is automatically created and ready for submission to the Seychelles Customs Authority.
You can:
- Download the XML and submit it manually to ASYCUDA
- Save as a draft to finish later
- Print a summary for your records

Frequently Asked Questions
How many declarations can I create during my trial?
Up to 3 declarations (Starter plan equivalent). This is perfect for testing the system with your actual documents.
Can I edit a declaration after creating it?
Yes! As long as it's in "Draft" status. Once submitted to ASYCUDA, it becomes read-only. Save as draft before submitting if you need flexibility.
What if the AI misclassifies a good's HS code?
The AI provides a classification recommendation with reasoning. You can override it by using the manual HS code browser or entering a code directly. You are responsible for the final classification.
Do I need technical knowledge to use Maxline?
No. Maxline is designed for customs professionals, importers, and freight forwarders with no coding required. Basic familiarity with ASYCUDA is helpful but not required.
