SAP Integration with Camtom: Automate Customs Entries from Your ERP

The Data Re-Entry Problem

Most companies already have detailed product data in their ERP systems — descriptions, materials, weights, values, and supplier information. Yet when it comes time to prepare a customs entry, this data is manually re-entered into spreadsheets or broker portals, introducing errors and wasting hours per shipment. The SAP-Camtom integration eliminates this redundancy by automatically pulling product data from SAP and feeding it into the classification and entry preparation workflow.

Integration Architecture

• SAP IDoc/RFC connector sends purchase order and goods receipt data to Camtom's API.
• Camtom's AI engine classifies products against the applicable tariff schedule (HTS or TIGIE).
• Classified data is returned to SAP with tariff codes, duty rates, and compliance flags.
• Customs entry drafts are generated automatically, ready for broker review and filing.
• Status updates flow back to SAP: filed, cleared, duties paid, goods released.

The integration supports both SAP ECC and S/4HANA environments. Implementation typically takes 2-4 weeks, including mapping your SAP material master fields to Camtom's classification input schema. For companies with complex multi-plant or multi-country setups, Camtom's team provides dedicated integration support to handle edge cases like transfer pricing, intercompany shipments, and dual-tariff-schedule requirements.
