Publican
durch Ultra
Trade intelligence and supply chain visibility for risk and compliance teams.
Publican by Ultra is an AI-powered customs intelligence platform designed to help customs and revenue authorities maximize revenue collection and strengthen border control.
Most customs administrations are only able to physically inspect or manually review a small percentage of incoming shipments. As global trade volumes continue to grow, revenue leakage, undervaluation, misclassification, and customs fraud often go undetected.
Publican changes that.
By automatically vetting 100% of incoming shipments, Publican provides customs officers with complete visibility across every declaration entering the country. The platform cross-references shipment information against thousands of customs, regulatory, commercial, and historical data points to identify discrepancies, assess risk, and recommend shipments requiring further review.
Rather than asking officers to review every shipment, Publican ensures they focus only on the declarations that matter most.

How Publican Works
Publican ingests shipment declarations and automatically analyzes each one using advanced artificial intelligence and continuously updated customs intelligence.
Every shipment is evaluated against multiple sources of information, including tariff schedules, customs regulations, historical trade patterns, product intelligence, commercial documentation, valuation data, and other relevant indicators.
The platform identifies anomalies, estimates potential revenue leakage, assigns a risk score, and explains why a shipment has been flagged, allowing officers to make faster and more informed decisions.
