Logistics giant has expanded its Trade & Tariff Studio platform, integrating AI-assisted customs intelligence across the full trade lifecycle
AP Moller-Maersk has released the latest version of its Trade & Tariff Studio, the logistics group’s AI-powered trade intelligence platform designed to support smarter customs, sourcing and compliance decisions earlier in the supply chain lifecycle.
Building on the platform’s initial launch in 2025, Maersk said the enhanced release expands the platform into a more connected customs intelligence environment, linking early-stage trade planning, AI-assisted pre-entry review, customs execution, reporting and post-declaration audit support in a single workflow.
The company pointed out that evolving global trade regulations and tariff uncertainty remain a ”significant challenge” for importers, with businesses increasingly seeking ways to understand compliance obligations, identify cost-saving opportunities, and anticipate risks earlier in the product lifecycle.
Maersk Trade & Tariff Studio addresses these challenges by combining Maersk’s customs expertise with advanced AI to deliver instant, audit-ready guidance on product classification, duty impacts, and government agency requirements, it said.
”The future of customs will be more predictive, more connected and more closely tied to the decisions businesses make long before goods reach the border,” said Mark Zeitlin, global head of customs innovation at Maersk.
”With Maersk Trade & Tariff Studio, we’re helping customers bring trade intelligence into sourcing, product design and compliance planning earlier, so they can better understand risk, manage costs and make more informed supply chain decisions before shipments move.”
The expanded platform is designed to reflect a broader shift in how importers are approaching customs management.
Rather than treating classification, entry preparation, filing visibility, and audit review as separate steps, Maersk said it is connecting these activities across the customs lifecycle, from early product and sourcing analysis through post-declaration review.
The approach is designed to give businesses a more consistent view of trade risk, compliance requirements, duty exposure, and reporting needs before, during, and after goods move through customs.
”Unlike traditional compliance software that often focuses on customs filing at the point of entry, Trade & Tariff Studio is designed to support a broader customs lifecycle,” Maersk confirmed.
”The platform helps customers bring trade intelligence into sourcing and product development decisions, conduct AI-assisted pre-entry reviews, connect insights to customs execution, and support post-declaration audit readiness.
”By moving customs decision-making upstream and connecting it to downstream operations, businesses can evaluate duty exposure, identify potential classification issues, and assess compliance risks before costs become fixed,” it noted.
Maersk highlighted that the solution is particularly relevant for high-volume retailers, manufacturers, regulated industries, and multinational enterprises managing complex global trade requirements.
