T1 / T2 document data extraction
An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract data from T1 / T2 documents.
Uploading T1 / T2 documents to the API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a T1 / T2 document to our API. This is typically done from a mobile app or a web application.
The document can be sent cropped or uncropped (with background). If the scan is sent uncropped, the Klippa API will automatically crop the document. The Klippa T1 / T2 document scanning SDK can also be used in mobile apps.
Image to text using OCR
As soon as a picture or PDF is received, it is converted to a TXT file by our engine. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but not yet structured.
Getting JSON output from the API
The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API.
From here the T1 / T2 document can easily be processed into your database. Whether you are processing T1 / T2 documents for transportation, customs control or customs clearance, Klippa is here to help.

What is the difference between T1 & T2 documents?
T1 and T2 documents are customs documents used in the cross-border movement of goods during the transport from one customs office to another.
The T1 document is needed for goods coming from outside the EU or goods that are not yet released into free circulation. These goods cannot be traded because import duties and VAT have to be paid first.
Upon arrival at the end destination, the T1 document is settled, taxes are charged and the goods are cleared for circulation.
The T2 document, on the other hand, is used for community goods from the EU or cleared in the EU. With a T2 document, you can ship these goods not only within the EU but also transport them through a third country.
Did you know that apart from t1 & t2 documents, Klippa OCR can scan other types of logistic documents, such as custom forms, dangerous goods declarations, and many more? Contact us for more information.
