Everything you need to know about running compliance checks and generating Statements on Origin with NexDuty AI.

How to Run a Compliance Check

Step 1

Upload Supplier Invoices

On the Dashboard, click the upload area or drag-and-drop your supplier invoice PDFs. These are the invoices for components and raw materials you purchase from your suppliers. You can upload one or more PDFs per compliance check.

Step 2

Enter Your EXW Price

Enter the Ex Works (EXW) price of your finished product in INR. This is the price of the product at your factory gate, excluding shipping and insurance. It is used as the denominator in the MaxNOM formula.

Step 3

Run the AI Compliance Check

Click "Run Compliance Check". NexDuty AI uses its AI engine to extract each line item from your invoice — including description, HS code, country of origin, and value. It then calculates the Maximum Non-Originating Materials (MaxNOM) percentage automatically.

Step 4

Download Your Statement on Origin

If your product is compliant (MaxNOM ≤ 50%), a legally-worded Statement on Origin PDF is automatically generated and available to download. This document can be provided to your EU buyer to claim preferential duty rates under the India–EU FTA.

The MaxNOM Formula

Under the India–EU FTA Rules of Origin, a product qualifies as "Made in India" when:

MaxNOM % = (Total foreign material value ÷ EXW price) × 100 ≤ 50%

Foreign material value — sum of the value of all non-Indian-origin components in your supplier invoice.
EXW price — the Ex Works price of your finished product (factory gate price, excluding freight and insurance).
If MaxNOM ≤ 50%, your product qualifies for preferential duty under the FTA. If it exceeds 50%, it does not.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MaxNOM rule?

MaxNOM stands for Maximum Non-Originating Materials. Under the 2026 India–EU FTA, a product qualifies as 'Made in India' if the value of all non-originating (foreign) materials does not exceed 50% of the Ex Works price. Formula: MaxNOM % = (Total value of foreign materials ÷ EXW price) × 100.

What counts as a 'non-originating material'?

Any component, part, or raw material that was manufactured or produced outside India is considered non-originating. If a supplier invoice lists a material sourced from China, Germany, or any country other than India, its value is included in the non-originating total.

What file formats are supported for upload?

Currently, NexDuty AI supports PDF files only. Ensure your supplier invoice is clearly scanned or digitally generated for best AI extraction accuracy. Blurry or handwritten invoices may result in lower extraction quality.

Is the Statement on Origin legally valid?

The Statement on Origin generated by NexDuty AI is a draft document based on the information you provide. It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of all extracted data and consult a customs expert or legal counsel before submitting it to a buyer or customs authority. NexDuty AI does not provide legal advice.

Where are my uploaded invoices stored?

Uploaded invoices are stored securely in our cloud storage, associated only with your authenticated account. They are not accessible to other users. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Can I view past compliance checks?

Yes. Navigate to History in the sidebar to see all your previous checks, including dates, compliance status, MaxNOM percentages, and links to download previously generated Statements on Origin.

What does the Reports page show?

The Reports page shows aggregated analytics across all your compliance checks — total checks run, pass/fail rate, average MaxNOM %, and a monthly bar chart of check volume. It helps you track your compliance posture over time.

How do I update my company details?

Go to Settings in the sidebar. You can update your company name and IEC (Importer Exporter Code) number there. These details are used to populate the Statement on Origin PDF.

What if the AI extracts incorrect data from my invoice?

AI extraction accuracy depends on invoice quality. If you notice incorrect line items, please do not use that Statement on Origin. We recommend reviewing the extracted results carefully before downloading. If extraction quality is consistently poor for your invoice format, contact us — we can help.
