Tunisian Customs Integrates Artificial Intelligence into National Screening System
The newly introduced AI system will be powered by machine learning algorithms designed to enhance the identification of high-risk shipments and improve targeting accuracy in the fight against customs fraud.
The Central Committee for Judicial Risk Action under the Tunisian Customs Authority has approved the integration of an artificial intelligence-based unit into the country’s National Judicial Selective System. The decision was made during a meeting held at the headquarters of the General Administration of Customs.
The committee said the initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to modernise Tunisia’s customs operations and strengthen its risk management capabilities. The newly introduced AI system will be powered by machine learning algorithms designed to enhance the identification of high-risk shipments and improve targeting accuracy in the fight against customs fraud.
According to the statement, the AI-driven unit will also help facilitate legitimate trade by accelerating the processing of compliant goods, thereby reducing delays for trusted operators and improving overall efficiency in customs clearance procedures.
The reform is part of Tunisia’s broader national strategy to modernise its customs administration system, with a focus on balancing tighter security controls with smoother and more efficient trade facilitation.
