FAQ
What customs brokers ask us
What is Sia?
Sia is Seautomatiza’s AI for customs brokers and freight forwarders. It is the same Sia in everything we set up for you: the TRACES extension, the clearance platform, the email agent and the dashboard. It reads the documents, checks that they match and flags anything missing or inconsistent; reviewing and deciding is always your team’s job.
Does Sia submit or transmit anything on its own?
No. Nothing Sia does goes through on its own. In TRACES it saves the certificate as a draft and your clerk finalises it. For clearance it prepares the arrival notification (CC507), but it doesn’t transmit anything to the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT) or load data into your clearance software. In your inbox it doesn’t reply to or send anything. A person always has the final say.
What does it do today, and what is in development?
In use: the TRACES extension, which fills in the catch certificate (CC), the simplified catch certificate (SC) and the processing statement (PS), and the email agent, which sorts customs email, flags what is missing and, if your agency turns it on, files it in its folder. Rolling out: EAD reading and the arrival notification (CC507). In development: the importer declaration (IM) in TRACES, and import, export and transit for clearance.
What happens when Sia isn’t sure about something?
It tells you. Anything it couldn’t read or resolve is marked for a person to look at: a blurred registration number on a certificate, an EAD that doesn’t match the loading list or an email that goes to “Unsorted”. Sia would rather flag than guess, and if a document couldn’t be read, it tells you why and offers to read it again.
Where is my data?
Documents are processed in the EU: the server is in the EU and the Google AI that reads them runs in a European region. We sign a data processing agreement (Article 28 GDPR) with each agency. It works the same way in TRACES, for clearance, in your inbox and in the dashboard.
Do I have to change software?
No. Sia works alongside what you already use: TRACES NT, where everyone keeps logging in with their own account; your mailbox; and your clearance software, which keeps transmitting as it does today. What Sia has done and the time it has saved you are in your brokerage’s dashboard, under “Client login”.
How much does it cost?
It depends on each agency: the volume of work and the procedures you want to automate. That is why there is no fixed rate: we first see how you work and then prepare a quote tailored to you.
