Promoter
Mongolian Customs General Administration (with Bituen, Virnect and Rebellions, Republic of Korea)
Mongolia's Customs General Administration signed a joint cooperation agreement in May 2025 with a South Korean consortium (Bituen, Virnect, Rebellions), funded through South Korea's NIPA AI-Semiconductor Overseas Expansion Support Project, to reduce HS-code misclassification.
Activities
The resulting HYPERGLORY system combines retrieval-augmented generation with a fine-tuned LLM on Rebellions' NPU hardware to recommend HS commodity codes, billed as the first commercial NPU-based LLM/RAG deployment inside a live customs administration.
Results
Year 1 of the two-year rollout was completed 23 December 2025; the system obtained KTR AI certification and GS Grade 1 software-quality certification, and the vendor reports a 2.7x power-efficiency advantage over GPU-based alternatives.
Conclusions
No independently audited accuracy or error-reduction figures have been published by MCGA itself.
Implementation
Indicative cost
Medium (€50k–€500k)
Time to results
Medium (1–3 years)
Staffing & skills
