ICS2 stop-word enforcement is live — 4 May 2026

Catch vague ICS2 goods descriptions before they trigger rejection.

Carriers including Lufthansa Cargo and JAL Cargo have warned that listed stop-word terms can cause ICS2 declaration rejection. Tradelint catches words like “Goods”, “Parts”, “Apparel” and “Chemicals”, suggests cleaner descriptions, and returns a CSV your team can review before filing.

No signup. No integration. Send a PDF to demo@in.tradelint.co.uk and usually see the cleaned output in about a minute.

Vague invoice lines rewritten for review

Parts
Automobile disc brake pads, non-asbestos friction material Clearer than a generic component description.
Chemicals
Sodium hydroxide solution 30%, industrial grade Flagged before the ENS workflow continues.
The annoying bit

The filing system is not the problem. The invoice descriptions are.

When a shipper sends vague goods descriptions, someone on your team has to catch them, rewrite them carefully, and avoid changing the meaning before the shipment moves.

1 Invoice arrives Descriptions are copied from shipper paperwork.
2 Vague terms appear “Goods”, “Parts”, “Apparel” and similar terms create risk.
3 Ops rewrites lines Manual cleanup happens under time pressure.
4 CSV is reviewed Your team keeps control before filing.
How it works

Three steps. No new platform to learn.

1

Forward the invoice

Email the commercial invoice PDF to your Tradelint address from any inbox.

2

Tradelint cleans the lines

Vague stop-word descriptions are flagged and rewritten using available HS and shipment context.

3

Your team reviews the CSV

You receive a stop-word-cleaned CSV for your existing ENS workflow, with final approval still in your hands.

Built for control

AI suggests. Your team approves. The changes are logged.

The goal is not blind automation. It is faster, more consistent goods-description cleanup before filing.

Human review

Flagged and ambiguous lines can be routed for approval before production use.

Re-checked output

Suggested descriptions are checked again against the stop-word ruleset.

Audit trail

Original text, suggested rewrite, approval status and timestamps can be retained.

Important boundary

Tradelint helps with goods-description data quality before ENS submission. It does not file declarations, act as a customs broker, or replace your own review. The declarant remains responsible for final filing accuracy.

FAQ

Quick answers before you send a file.

Are you filing the ENS for me?
No. Tradelint prepares a stop-word-cleaned CSV for your existing ENS workflow. You remain responsible for review and final filing.
Do you replace our current filing system?
No. Tradelint sits before your current ENS process. You keep your existing filing workflow and use Tradelint to clean vague invoice descriptions before review.
Can I use the output without checking it?
No. The output is advisory and must be reviewed before use. Tradelint is a cleanup and review workflow, not a customs decision-maker.
What do I send?
For the demo, forward a commercial invoice PDF to demo@in.tradelint.co.uk. For pilots, we can set up a private inbound address for your team.
Is invoice data used to train AI models?
No. Customer document data is not sold, used for advertising, or used to train or fine-tune AI models. See the Privacy Notice for details.
What does it cost to try?
The first demo invoice is free. The founder-supported pilot is £200 for 7 days and is credited to your first month if you continue.

Send one invoice. See if the cleanup is useful.
