“Beginner’s Guide” for Customs AI implementation

The modern customs landscape demands innovative solutions that can adapt to both traditional and emerging risks. Advanced technologies such as connected tamper-evident seals, blockchain-base distributed ledger systems, machine learning algorithms, and AI non-intrusive inspection (NII) technologies are revolutionizing how customs authorities monitor and secure international trade.
These tools, when properly integrated, can create a more resilient and transparent supply chain ecosystem. Through a live demonstration, this paper aims to serve as a foundation for meaningful policy discussions that will both regulate and encourage the responsible deployment of AI within Customs Organisations across the African Continent.
