The Customs Declaration (EU) skill extracts data from customs declarations for goods transported across the borders of EU countries. A customs declaration is a document that contains information about the consignor, the consignee, the declarants, as well as the goods being transported and their means of transport. This skill can be used to process customs declarations for goods both entering and leaving EU countries. The Customs Declaration (EU) skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a limited set of documents and is designed to help you quickly get started with processing customs declarations. For production use, you may need to uptrain the skill with your own document samples.
