The Dangerous Goods Declaration skill is an AI model, which extracts data from Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGD's), which are transport documents compiled by the shipper of dangerous goods. Dangerous Goods Declarations serve to confirm that the goods in question have been packed, marked, and declared in accordance with IATA (International Air Transport Association) Dangerous Goods Regulations.

A Dangerous Goods Declaration contains required information necessary to transport the goods without any health and safety risks, as well as without danger to the environment and infrastructure. This information can contain the following: the class of the dangerous goods and their packaging type, the special provision number, a hazardous material emergency response number, etc. The most common types of dangerous goods have UN-assigned four-digit ID’s.

Declarations of Dangerous Goods, along with other transport documents required for shipping, should accompany each package and consignment of dangerous goods. The Dangerous Goods Declaration skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a small document set and is intended to be used by citizen developers as a quick-start basis for processing dangerous goods declarations. The skill may require further training on your specific documents in order to be used in production scenarios.

By automating the processing of dangerous goods declarations and other freight documentation, potential errors from manual processes are drastically reduced or eliminated, leading to accelerated movement of goods and cost savings. When combined with other Vantage document skills for trade documentation a seamless flow of goods is ensured, providing you with a distinct competitive advantage in the market.

• Vantage document skills are extraction models, based on ABBYY's purpose-built AI, designed and trained to extract key data from business documents.
• Preview document skills provide a quick-start basis for conducting proof of concept and automating document-centric processes, without wasting time to train a new skill from the ground up. In most preview skills the main data fields have been labeled and the skill has been trained on a small document set to provide a starting point for further training on customer side. Preview skills generally come at no additional cost, but consume page volume from the base Vantage Core Skills volume.
• The model automatically detects key fields on DGDs and extracts relevant data (shipper, consignee, carrier, line items providing details about type of goods and packaging etc.). For a full list of extracted fields, please see the skill documentation.
• Includes validation and data normalization rules. Further business rules can be added as required.
• Can be augmented by human-in-the-loop review and verification based on accuracy thresholds, missing or incorrect information.
• Requires further training in order to ensure sufficient accuracy levels on customer-specific documents. Training can be done up-front or during runtime as documents arrive and go through manual verification.
• The skill complements other pre-trained transportation and logistics skills from ABBYY including bill of lading, commercial invoices, custom declarations, and several more.
