How to Export Data

Once you’ve reviewed and approved your documents, you can export the extracted data for use in your customs declarations, supply chain systems, or record-keeping. CargoLint supports multiple export formats and batch downloads.

Before you start

• You have documents with “Complete” or “Reviewed” status
• You know which documents you need to export
• You have access to download files on your computer

Steps

1. Open the Documents page

From the main navigation, select Documents. You’ll see your full document list with status indicators.

2. Filter for completed documents

Use the status filter to show only “Complete” or “Reviewed” documents. This narrows your list to extraction results that are ready for export.

3. Select documents to export

Check the boxes next to the documents you want to download. You can select individual documents or use the “Select All” option to export your entire batch at once.

4. Click Export

Once you’ve selected documents, click the Export button that appears in the toolbar. CargoLint prepares your data for download.

5. Choose an export format

Select your preferred format:

• CSV: A spreadsheet-compatible format with one row per document, fields in columns. Use this for import into Excel, Google Sheets, or accounting software.
• JSON: A structured format for technical systems and API integrations. Contains all extracted fields, confidence scores, and metadata.
• PDF: A formatted PDF report showing each document’s extracted data in a human-readable layout. Use this for audits or record retention.

6. Download your file

Click Download to save the exported data to your computer. The file is named with a timestamp (for example, “CargoLint-Export-2026-03-14.csv”) so you can track when the export was created.

7. Verify exported data

Open the downloaded file to confirm all documents and fields are present. If you notice missing data or errors, return to the Review Queue to correct fields, then re-export.

Tip: Export your data regularly, even if you don’t immediately need it. This creates a backup of your extracted data and confidence scores for compliance audits.

Tip: Use CSV exports for integration with accounting systems and ERP software. Most business tools can import CSV files directly.

Tip: For high-volume exports, download data weekly rather than monthly. This keeps file sizes manageable and reduces the risk of losing recent extractions if something goes wrong.
