Avathon announced the launch of its AI-powered Global Trade Management (GTM) solution, built on the Avathon Autonomy Platform. The application enables Livingston to navigate today’s volatile trade environment with speed, accuracy, and efficiency—reducing costs while improving compliance through the deployment of autonomous agents. By analyzing item descriptions, specifications, Bills of Material (BOM), and supplier data, Avathon GTM can assist by recommending Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes and country of origin, proposing duty and drawback calculations, and generating immutable audit records for review and determination by Livingston’s skilled team of licensed customs brokers. The result: minimized landed costs and greater value unlocked for clients. Avathon is partnering with Livingston International, one of the largest trade services providers in North America, to modernize specific aspects of customs clearance operations with AI. Key Capabilities of Avathon GTM: Automated Harmonized Tariff (HS) Classification: AI agents analyze descriptions, specs, and BOMs to assign codes with accuracy and consistency. Country of Origin Determination: Tracks sourcing and manufacturing steps across multi-tier supply chains to maintain compliance with jurisdictional rules. Duty Optimization: Continuously surfaces tariff engineering opportunities, alternative headings, and FTA eligibility to minimize landed costs. Immutable Audit Trail: Captures decision evidence, confidence levels, and overrides in a transparent, secure record for fast, audit-ready responses. Continuous Compliance Monitoring: Proactively re-checks classifications and tariffs as rules and rates change, ensuring decisions stay current.
