Bill of Lading Extraction
Extract every structured field from an uploaded Bill of Lading (B/L), Sea Waybill, or house/master B/L pair (photo, scan, PDF, Word, or Excel) into a standardized JSON record, structured to match the DCSA (Digital Container Shipping Association) Bill of Lading Standard 3.0's current published data model wherever the source document's content maps onto it. A Bill of Lading is a trade/shipping document (carrier receipt, evidence of the contract of carriage, and for a negotiable B/L, a document of title), NOT a regulatory filing: this skill extracts it as INPUT EVIDENCE for downstream filings (a CBAM declaration, a customs entry, a letter-of-credit check). It does not itself submit anything anywhere, and it does not validate dangerous-goods compliance. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Bill of Lading, B/L, Sea Waybill, house bill / master bill, parse my shipping documents, or needs shipment particulars (shipper, consignee, vessel/voyage, container, cargo description, weight) pulled out of a document into structured data.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Bill of Lading itself a regulatory filing?
No. A Bill of Lading is a trade and shipping document, a carrier's receipt, evidence of the contract of carriage and, for a negotiable B/L, a document of title. This skill extracts it as input evidence for a downstream filing, such as a CBAM declaration, a customs entry or a letter-of-credit check; it does not submit anything itself.
What formats can Formist read?
A photo, scan, PDF, Word or Excel copy of a Bill of Lading, Sea Waybill, or a house/master B/L pair.
What data model does the extraction follow?
The DCSA (Digital Container Shipping Association) Bill of Lading Standard 3.0's current published data model, wherever the source document's content maps onto it.
Does it check dangerous-goods compliance?
No. It extracts the document's fields, including any dangerous-goods flag present on the B/L itself, but does not validate dangerous-goods compliance.
What happens if a field is missing or illegible?
Each field is either filled, explicitly marked null, or flagged as illegible in the source document, so nothing is silently guessed.

Draft and validate a CBAM declaration package for EU importers filing under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU Regulation 2023/956). The EU has no submission API: this skill prepares and checks the package against the EU's own schema, and the user downloads it and uploads it themselves on the CBAM Registry portal. The transitional quarterly report period ended in 2025; the definitive period's annual declaration module is scheduled to open in 2027.
