Mismatched papers cost real money

Two real examples. Banks and customs officers compare a supplier's papers with each other, and this is what happens when the papers are missing or don't agree.

Getting paidIndustry estimate, 2022

7 in 10 times, the bank rejects a supplier's paperwork on the first try.

Rejected on the first tryAccepted

Many importers pay suppliers through a bank letter of credit. Before the bank releases the money, it checks that the invoice, packing list and shipping papers all say the same thing. The International Chamber of Commerce estimates that 65 to 80% of these document sets are rejected the first time because something does not match. Each rejection means a delay, extra bank fees, and sometimes goods stuck at the port. [1]

CustomsReal US Customs case, 2023

A factory could not show how it made its product. The importer paid the higher duty.

US Customs (CBP) suspected that quartz countertops shipped from Vietnam were really made in China. It asked the Vietnamese factory for proof that the slabs were made there. The factory could not show:

  • Not provided: Paperwork for the raw materials it bought
  • Not provided: Proof of where the materials and the finished slabs came from
  • Not provided: Its workers' time records
  • Not provided: A list of its machines and how much they could make
  • Not provided: Photos of the machines and of the factory
  • Not provided: What it spent on packaging, and a factory inspection report

The few papers it did send had serious errors. CBP ruled that the countertops were Chinese, and the importer had to pay the much higher duties that apply to quartz from China. [2]

Both stories start the same way: papers that were never collected from the supplier, or never checked. Our free checklist tells you which ones to ask for.

What gets checked, and against what

Every flag names the documents and page numbers involved, so you can check it yourself.

Inside each document

  • Every line: quantity × price = amount
  • Totals match the amount written in words, including Chinese capital numerals
  • Dates are real dates, and ID numbers have the right format
  • Anything missing is left blank and flagged, never guessed

Across your supplier's documents

  • Invoice ↔ packing list: quantities, cartons, weights
  • Bill of materials ↔ fabric purchases: enough material bought for what was made, in the right spec
  • Fabric delivery notes ↔ production report: material arrived before cutting started
  • Production report ↔ invoice: output covers what shipped, and dates run in order
  • Every document: the same company name and tax ID

Against your own records

  • Your purchase order: items, quantities, prices, ship-by date
  • The bill of lading from your forwarder: container, cartons, weights, ship date
  • Entry details from your broker: manufacturer, quantities, values and the origin you declared

The app flags differences. It doesn't decide what they mean, and it never files anything with CBP. You and your broker make those calls.

How it works

  1. Supplier

    Your supplier uploads

    Send a private link. The factory uploads invoices, packing lists, bills of materials and production records from a phone, in its own language.

  2. OriginEntry

    The app translates and checks

    Every page is translated into English. The numbers are checked inside each document and across the supplier's documents.

  3. You

    You add your records

    Upload your purchase order, the bill of lading from your forwarder and the entry details from your broker.

  4. OriginEntry

    The app checks again

    Your supplier's documents are compared with your records: items, quantities, prices, dates and the origin you declared.

  5. You

    You get the file and report

    Download one PDF for your broker. Every flag names the documents and pages involved, and you can ask the supplier for fixes through the same link.

Two reviews on every document and every transaction

First

Our trained AI reads every document: it translates it, pulls out the key fields and checks the numbers inside the document, across the supplier's set and against your records.

Then

A human expert reviews every document and every transaction before the result reaches you. We guarantee this for all of them, not only the flagged ones. At the start, the two founders do this review themselves. Results come back within one to two business days.

The review confirms the translation, the fields and the comparisons. It is not customs advice. Your broker still decides what goes to CBP.

See it before you sign up

A worked example with fictional companies: first the situation, then what each side uploaded, then what the check found.

The situation

You import cotton T-shirts and tank tops from a garment maker in Vietnam. Before this shipment's papers go to your broker, you want them checked.

  1. Invoice total doesn't add up

    The two lines come to 12,690.00 USD, but the invoice prints 12,960.00 USD.

  2. Tank-top price doesn't match your order

    2.85 USD a piece on the invoice, 2.80 USD on your purchase order: 90.00 USD more for 1,800 pieces.

  3. No record of buying the T-shirt fabric

    The T-shirts need 672 kg of 180 g/m² jersey. The fabric papers only cover 160 g/m² jersey and rib.

  4. Cutting started before the fabric arrived

    Tank-top cutting began on 21 Aug 2026. The only fabric delivery note is dated 24 Aug 2026.

The 11 matched checks cover quantities and cartons, company names and tax codes, the order of dates, and the shipping details on the bill of lading.
