Customs authorities and freight forwarders employ risk profiling systems to automatically assess shipments upon entry against predefined hazard patterns—smuggling corridors, fraud indicators, suspicious commodity mixes, shipper/consignee profiles, and country-of-origin data. Shipments are classified as Green (Low), Amber (Medium), or Red (High) risk. Only high and medium-risk consignments receive intensive inspection, allowing customs to concentrate resources where threats are credible and routine shipments to clear faster.
