Emma Compliance - Random check

What is Random check in Emma Compliance?

By performing regular sample controls, you achieve:

Improved quality in customs declarations
Better control and overview
Clear documentation that procedures are followed

The Random check module is particularly useful for businesses with AEO-C certification, as it supports requirements for internal control and traceability in the customs process.

Examples of what can be verified:

Item lines and commodity codes
Quantities and values
Origin and documentation
Correct use of customs procedures

Customs declarations must be both accurate and well documented. Even small errors can lead to delays, additional costs, and increased risk in customs handling.

With Random check, you can easily perform sample controls of selected declarations to ensure that the content is correct and complies with applicable requirements and procedures.

The Random check module is developed for:

Businesses with AEO-C certification
Businesses that want to establish or improve internal control routines

For AEO-C certified businesses, sample controls help:

Ensure compliance with requirements
Document internal control
Maintain high quality in customs and goods flow processes

Regular controls provide assurance that procedures work as intended and that discrepancies are identified and handled at an early stage.

For businesses without certification, Random check provides a structured and practical starting point to:

Gain insight into current practices
Identify improvement areas
Establish more robust and documented control processes

The goal is to improve quality, reduce risk, and strengthen internal control.

Getting started

You can access Random check under Functions

The Random check window opens

Select period and create a new control

Create a new control in the module.

Report name: Give the control a clear name, for example
“Internal control January 2026”
Select data basis and sample

Apply filters

To make the control more precise, you can filter by:

Import / export
Declarant (customs representative)
Origin
Tariff number
Procedure
Preference
Value
Duties and taxes
Number of assignments

Then select which assignments to include:

Only assignments with item lines
Only assignments without item lines
All assignments
Maximum number of lines: Define how many lines to include in the sample

Perform the control

The solution displays declared data from the customs declaration, along with fields showing corresponding data.

If you register a different (correct) value, this will be recorded as a difference/discrepancy.

If discrepancies are identified, we recommend using Register discrepancy and sending a request for recalculation to your customs representative.

In principle, all errors must be corrected in accordance with customs regulations.

Export report

When all lines have been reviewed, you can export the control to an Excel report.

The report serves as documentation that internal control has been performed and shows:

What has been reviewed
Any errors identified

You can also document actions taken to prevent the same errors from occurring again.
