Adhoc builds AI agents for import compliance and clearance in Canada. Adhoc Inc. is based in Toronto. The agent drafts; a licensed broker always reviews and submits. CARM-ready. U.S. (CBP/ACE) support is rolling out. ## What adhoc does before your broker ever looks. Three moments between "a shipment landed" and "your broker reviews." Every field cited, every decision logged. - **Read**: Every page parsed — even a 70-line hand-scan. Each field pulled as a cited chip with its own confidence. - **Classify**: Every line matched with the ruling chain cited. Missing codes assigned, risky ones flagged — AIRS-checked before submission. - **Comply**: CAD, AIRS, LPCO, bond status, and every PGA evaluated against the shipment — each with its own citation trail. ## Follow one shipment across the pipeline. 1. **Ingest**: Wherever your work lives — funneled in. Shared inboxes, EDI feeds, portal uploads. Release packages draft themselves the moment they land — even after hours. Nothing retyped. 2. **Extract**: Every page read, every field cited. Even a 70-line hand-scan. Each field pulled as a cited chip with its own confidence — multi-invoice and high-line-count handled in one flow. 3. **Classify**: Missing codes assigned. Risky codes flagged. Every line classified with the ruling chain cited. AIRS-checked before submission — misclassification caught before reject, not after. 4. **Review**: Brokers review only what needs judgment. Most shipments draft end-to-end and your broker clicks submit. On the rest, adhoc pauses and asks before anything is filed. 5. **File**: Submitted, acknowledged, written back. As a registered CBSA service provider, adhoc transmits through EDI, captures the CBSA acknowledgement, and reconciles it back automatically. CARM-ready. ## Compliance, built in CAD, AIRS, LPCO, bond status, and every PGA — checked before submission, not after rejection. - **CBSA · CAD · AIRS** (Core declaration): CAD build, AIRS classification compliance, duties, tariffs, origin, and value — checked against live rulings and transmitted through EDI. CARM-ready. - **CFIA · Health Canada** (Food & health PGAs): Phytosanitary, food-regulated products, health and permit triggers resolved against the registry before the shipment ever hits review. - **TC · LPCO · ECCC · others** (Sub-programs & LPCO): Transport Canada sub-programs, LPCO requirements, ECCC, PHAC, GAC — every partner-agency program routed, evaluated, and cited in one pass. ## The margin math Your biggest cost to produce a declaration is labor. adhoc turns a 40-minute entry into a 5-minute review — more files cleared per writer, fewer rejects. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does adhoc submit without my review? No. adhoc writes a draft — a broker always clicks submit. The review screen shows every chip, citation, and flagged question so nothing slips through. ### What happens when adhoc is unsure? It pauses and asks before anything is filed. Ambiguous fields and risky HS codes are flagged with the source citation right next to the question, and a broker makes the call in seconds. ### How does it handle missing or wrong HS codes? Missing codes are classified with reasoning and a confidence score. Incorrect or risky codes are surfaced before submission — AIRS compliance is built in, flagging misclassification before rejection, not after. ### How fast is implementation? Most teams clear live shipments within two weeks. adhoc reads the documents you already receive — there is nothing to re-template. ### Can it handle high-line-count and multi-invoice shipments? Yes. Multi-invoice declarations and high-line-count shipments — including 70-line hand-scanned packages — are handled in one flow. ### What coverage does it have? CBSA (CAD/AIRS), CFIA, Health Canada, food-regulated products, Transport Canada sub-programs, LPCO requirements, ECCC, PHAC, and GAC — routed and cited in a single pass. ### How does this help freight forwarders? Routing files to a broker on adhoc means faster turnaround, cleaner declarations, fewer compliance issues, and better landed-cost visibility for their importers. ## See your next shipment drafted by adhoc.
