The strategy builds on the ADII’s 2024-2028 strategic plan, which already identifies AI as a lever for modernizing operations, including scanner image interpretation and predictive analytics based on customs declaration data to strengthen fraud detection. In 2025, the administration launched a project with the World Customs Organization and Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs on AI-driven risk analysis, building on a digital innovation lab the ADII has operated since 2022. International customs authorities offer a preview of what more advanced adoption can achieve. China already operates at least 62 AI models across its customs system, including a real-time risk-scoring tool called TianXuan, and aims to equip more than 90 percent of its entry points with smart inspection by 2030. The World Customs Organization recommends starting with targeted, high-impact projects before wider rollout, an approach the ADII’s gradual strategy is designed to follow while preserving human oversight of AI-assisted decisions.
