Customs-clearance autopilot

Customs clearance is high-volume HS classification + denied-party screening under a reasonable-care standard, where a misdeclaration carries 19 USC 1592 penalties. Shipments classified, valued and screened straight-through; the licensed broker signs the entry of record before it is filed with CBP.

Use this example
01

Download the file

A minctrl.process/v1 document: the graph and the hash of the process it becomes.

02

Import it in Processes

Import into Minctrl opens this example in your workspace; one click stores it as your first version. Import JSON does the same with the file, and a file changed after download is refused.

03

Connect your systems

Every connector starts in shadow: steps run, nothing leaves Minctrl until you configure a connector and switch it live.

04

Adapt it

Change signers, time limits and steps on the canvas. Each save is a new version; a running case stays on the version it started with.

Questions
How do I automate customs clearance with Minctrl?

Start from this example. Import the file in Processes, connect your own systems, and adapt the steps on the canvas. Agents run the reversible steps; every irreversible step waits at a gate for the role you choose. The example has 7 steps and 1 gate; you can change any of them.

Is customs clearance in Minctrl auditable?

Every run start, signature and change to the process is written to a hash-chained audit log your auditor can verify and export. A run is pinned to the exact graph it started on.

Does the AI decide everything?

No. Minctrl will not make a process runnable while an irreversible step can be reached without a human gate, and one person cannot sign two gates of the same run.
