Maersk has introduced and expanded an AI-powered platform, the Trade & Tariff Studio, to help businesses manage global customs compliance and unpredictable tariff changes. The company describes the current regulatory environment as ‘tariff chaos’ and notes that 20 percent of shipment delays are caused by insufficient customs preparation.

The platform integrates trade planning, compliance, and audit support into a single workflow. It utilizes conversational AI and automated classification to allow users to interact via natural language or by uploading product photos and technical documents. This enables companies to model how sourcing decisions and tariff shifts might affect costs before manufacturing or shipping begins.

Key capabilities include bulk catalogue classification and continuous monitoring of regulatory developments and customs rulings. The tool is designed to assist with requirements from agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
