How Decitrayd Works
A structured decision-support pipeline designed to evaluate compliance, risks, and costs before a shipment moves — rather than reporting problems after they occur.
Trade & Shipment Inputs
Enter or upload trade parameters: Origin and Destination countries, Port of Loading/Discharge, 6-to-10 digit HS code, Incoterms (e.g. FOB, CIF, DDP), invoice value, cargo specifications, and uploaded shipping documents.
Key Functionality in this Stage:
- Trade route & port pair selection (e.g. India ⇄ UK)
- Product description, HS classification & cargo valuation
- Incoterms, transport mode (Ocean, Air, Road) & insurance status
- Commercial document attachments (Invoice, Packing List, BL, COO)
- Customs valuation checks (Transaction value, freight & insurance split)
- Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) status and CDS Box 44 declarations
Rules & Compliance Checks
Decitrayd stress-tests the draft against deterministic compliance engines: UK CDS preference & procedure codes, dual-use strategic export control lists, UK REACH chemical registries, sanctions screenings, and Rules of Origin (RoO) requirements.
Key Functionality in this Stage:
- Deterministic trade compliance rule evaluation
- UK CDS Customs Procedure Code & EORI validation
- Dual-use strategic export control screening
- Rules of Origin (RoO) origin proof verification
- UK REACH chemical registration and RoHS hazardous substance check
- Sanctions & denied party screening against UK OFSI and international lists
Risk & Cost Assessment
The engine calculates a deterministic risk score (0–100%) with severity classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low), estimates landed third-country duty rates, flags VAT implications, and projects potential delay days due to documentation gaps.
Key Functionality in this Stage:
- Transparent risk score with contributing factor weighting
- UK Third-Country duty rate & landed cost estimation
- Delay forecast based on lane congestion & missing documents
- Financial exposure summary (duties, demurrage, potential penalties)
- Port dwell time and demurrage penalty exposure calculation
- Cashflow impact analysis comparing standard payment vs PVA deferment
Scenario Comparison
Test 'what-if' alternatives before booking: compare shipping under CIF vs DDP, evaluate shifting to an alternative port of discharge, or check the impact of attaching a Certificate of Origin to qualify for preferential duty rates.
Key Functionality in this Stage:
- Side-by-side diff of baseline vs alternative scenarios
- Dynamic cost recalculation when Incoterms or routes change
- Clear visibility into risk reduction across scenarios
- Audit trail tracking of scenario iterations
- Multi-modal transport evaluation comparing Ocean FCL vs Air freight
- Port-of-discharge alternative comparison for congestion and tariffs
Recommendations & Corrective Actions
Decitrayd generates a ranked list of explainable corrective actions. Each recommendation explains why it was triggered, the regulation behind it, and provides guided 1-click fixes to update shipment parameters before booking.
Key Functionality in this Stage:
- Ranked by risk reduction & financial impact
- Regulation citations and clear explainability rationale
- 1-click apply fixes for CDS procedure & document checklists
- Downloadable compliance report & export audit trail
- Prioritized operational checklist to eliminate border holds
- Cryptographic audit trail generation with immutable simulation history
