Customs API built for airlines

Belli rebuilt customs API from first principles for airlines — not as a bolt-on to a legacy core. Customs compliance is increasingly complex. Belli provides direct API integration with customs authorities in 50+ countries.

Belli's customs API targets a measurable outcome — 50+ countries automated — and goes live in 10 days, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality for Airlines

Here is what actually breaks for airlines.

  • Manual load planning costing revenue on every flight
  • No real-time visibility into cargo capacity or yield
  • Monthly close cycles stretching 30+ days

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

  • AI-powered load planning on every departure
  • 24/7 access to real cargo software engineers
  • 10-day go-live from contract signature

Before Belli: Manual customs filing creates delays and compliance risks. Each country managed separately. After Belli: Automated filing across 50+ countries from a single system. Zero PLACI compliance failures.

How Belli's Customs API works

The mechanics are built for throughput, not paperwork.

In practice, that means US ACAS/ACMS integration, UAE NAIC direct filing, and canada PACT and UK PreDICT support. Belli also covers pre-arrival cargo information filing (PLACI). Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Going live in 10 days

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. Your existing integrations are reconnected, not rebuilt from scratch. By go-live your operators are trained on the same workflows they already run. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

The bottom line for Airlines

Strip away the demos and it is about outcomes. Manual workflows do not just cost hours — they cost yield on every departure. 50+ countries automated is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Modern carriers already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
