Wat is Zonos Clarify?

Zonos Clarify automatiseert partner government agency (PGA)-compliance voor cross-borderzendingen. Het identificeert welke agencyvereisten per item gelden op basis van HS-code en route, toont de compliancevragenlijst, vult antwoorden vooraf in uit uw itemdata met AI en koppelt de afgeronde compliant antwoorden aan het item voor douaneaangifte.

Welke overheidsinstanties ondersteunt Zonos Clarify?

Clarify ondersteunt U.S. partner government agency (PGA)-programma's zoals FDA, USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) en Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), plus andere programmatypes zoals free trade agreements en tariff measures.

Hoe integreer ik Zonos Clarify?

Clarify is beschikbaar via de Zonos GraphQL API. Gebruik de complianceRequirements-query om programma's te ontdekken, complianceQuestionnaireInfer om antwoorden af te leiden en voor in te vullen, en de questionnaire session-mutaties om vragenlijsten te beoordelen, te beantwoorden en af te ronden. Afgeronde antwoorden worden op het item gematerialiseerd voor douaneaangifte.

Zonos Clarify

Automatiseer partner government agency (PGA)-compliance — ontdek welke agencyvereisten per item gelden, beantwoord vragenlijsten met AI-voorinvulling en koppel compliant antwoorden voor douaneaangifte.

Veel cross-borderzendingen vallen onder partner government agency (PGA)-vereisten in addition to customs duties and taxes. Before goods can clear the border, the importer often has to answer agency-specific questions per item — for example, the FDA's questions for food and cosmetics, or the CPSC's certification for children's products. Getting these answers wrong (or missing them) holds shipments at the border.

Zonos Clarify maakt van dat handmatige, foutgevoelige proces een gestructureerde, automatiseerbare flow:

Discover welke complianceprogramma's van toepassing zijn to an item from its HS code and route.
Infer and prefill antwoorden uit uw bestaande itemdata met Zonos AI.
Review and answer alleen de vragen die overblijven, with branching handled for you.
Finalize zodat antwoorden aan het item worden gekoppeld voor douaneaangifte.

How Clarify works

Een typische end-to-end flow gebruikt the Zonos GraphQL API in four steps:

Discover requirements. Query complianceRequirements with an item's HS code and ship-to country to see which compliance programs are triggered, and read each program's questions.
Infer and prefill. Call complianceQuestionnaireInfer with your items. Clarify opens a questionnaire session and pre-answers questions from your item data — each pre-filled answer carries a confidence score.
Review and answer. Confirm or correct the pre-filled answers with questionnaireAnswersSubmit. The questionnaire branches automatically, so the shipper only sees the questions that actually apply.
Finalize. Accept the answers with questionnaireSessionAttest (or submit a complete set directly). Clarify records an immutable response and attaches the answers to the item for customs filing.

See Complete a questionnaire for the full walkthrough, and How it works for branching, provenance, and dynamic options.

Belangrijke concepten

Concept↕	Wat het betekent↕
Compliance program	A regulatory program (e.g. an FDA prior-notice program) identified by a stable `code`. Each program owns a questionnaire.
Question	A prompt with an `answerType` of `BOOLEAN`, `SINGLE_SELECT`, `MULTI_SELECT`, `TEXT`, `NUMBER`, or `DATE`.
Display condition	Branching logic that shows or hides a question based on earlier answers, so shippers never see irrelevant questions.
Inference & provenance	Clarify pre-answers questions from your item data. Each answer records where it came from — `INFERRED`, `MANUAL`, or `SUPPLIED` — and inferred answers carry a `confidence` score.
Session vs. response	A session is the in-progress questionnaire. A response is the finalized, immutable record of the answers.
Attestation	Accepting the pre-filled answers as-is to finalize without re-typing them.
Target	What the answers describe: a reusable `CATALOG_ITEM` (answer once, reuse) or a per-shipment `ITEM`.
Intended use	The declared import intent (`CONSUMER`, `COMMERCIAL`, `PERSONAL`, `RESEARCH`) that guides inference.

Ondersteunde programma's

Clarify modelleert compliance as programs, each with a programType:

PGA - U.S. partner government agency programs, including the FDA, EPA, USDA (AMS and APHIS, including the Lacey Act), CPSC, and FWS.
FTA - Free trade agreement eligibility.
TARIFF_MEASURE - Questionnaires tied to specific tariff measures.
OTHER - Anything that doesn't fit the categories above.

New programs are added over time. Use complianceRequirements to see exactly which apply to a given item and route.
