Quickstart
Get from zero to your first validated trade document in 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- A Klervex account (sign up)
- A sample trade document (commercial invoice, purchase order, or similar)
Step 1: Sign Up
- Go to app.klervex.com/register
- Enter your email and password

Step 2: Upload a Document
- From the dashboard, click New Shipment
- Drag and drop your document onto the upload zone (or click to browse)
- Supported formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, Excel
Step 3: Review Extracted Data
After uploading, AI extracts structured data from your document:
- Parties — Exporter, importer, notify party
- Route — Origin, destination, transport mode, ports, Incoterms
- Goods — Line items with HS codes, quantities, values
- Packaging — Package types, weights, dimensions
Each field shows a confidence score:
- 🟢 High (90%+) — Likely correct, review quickly
- 🟡 Medium (70-89%) — May need correction
- 🔴 Low (below 70%) — Review carefully
Edit any field before proceeding.
Step 4: Validate
Click Validate to run the shipment through business rules:
- HS code exists in the destination country's tariff schedule
- Required fields are present for the selected document types
- Parties pass sanctions screening
- Port codes are valid UN/LOCODE entries
- Incoterms match the transport mode
If validation passes, you'll see a green checkmark. If it fails, each issue includes a specific error message and a "Fix" button to jump to the relevant field.
Step 5: Generate Documents
- Select the document types to generate (Commercial Invoice, Packing List, etc.)
- Click Generate
- Each document is generated as a customs-grade PDF
Step 6: Download and Verify

Every document includes a SHA-256 hash for tamper-proof verification at klervex.com/verify.
