From Invoice to N10 in One Click.

A commercial invoice arrives with 40 line items. Each one needs an HS code looked up, a duty rate applied, and the values converted and totalled for the N10 declaration. For a busy customs broker, that's 30 minutes of classification work per invoice — and the consequences of getting it wrong are real. Incorrect tariff codes mean ABF audits, fines, and shipment holds.

The classification data is already on the invoice — goods descriptions, quantities, values, country of origin. The tedious part is extracting it, formatting it, and filling out the declaration form correctly every time.

StarShipper bridges that gap. It reads your invoices, pulls out the classification data, and generates a pre-filled N10 with duty and GST calculated — so you can review and lodge instead of type and calculate.

One-click N10 generation is useful when you're sitting at your desk looking at the shipment. But what about the shipments arriving this week where the documents came in overnight? StarShipper's automation engine can generate the N10 draft before you even open the shipment.

Here's how it works: as documents arrive and get linked to a shipment — commercial invoice, Bill of Lading, packing list — the engine watches for completeness. When the manifest passes readiness checks and the ETA is approaching, it runs a 9-field validation: ABN, importer name, supplier name, country of origin, invoice number, customs value, currency, B/L number, and at least one valid 8-digit tariff code. If all nine pass, the N10 draft is generated automatically and you get a notification that it's ready for review.

The declaration is still a draft — you review it, adjust classifications if needed, and lodge when you're satisfied. The automation handles the assembly. You handle the judgement.
