Many frauds have been experienced in recent years as a result of the existence of thousands
of importers and exporters in each country and the difficulty in supervising them. These
frauds have affected the tax which is the backbone of national revenue. As part of a solution,
separated customs organizations of different countries including Ethiopia have been
established to control foreign trade and takes legal action on the people and vehicles involved
in the act of smuggling while it facilitates the legitimate movement of goods and people
across the border. But customs organizations couldn’t protect the society significantly from
adverse effects of smuggling. The reports from developing countries and independent
organizations also have clear image for the increasing of customs transaction fraud. This
circumstance, on the other hand, needs a daily thorough examination of a large volume of
declarations, which consumes a significant amount of human resources and time.
In view of this, deep learning based customs transaction fraud detection models have been
developed to detect and categorize the fraud. The researchers used multi-layer perceptron
ANN approach, back propagation algorithm in line with combinations of parameters using
grid search hyper parameter tuning method to improve the performance of fraud detection
and categorization. Past Ethiopian customs data of more than 95038 instances with 22
attributes have been used for model building. The fraud detection model and fraud category
predictor model have been built with classification accuracy of 96.64% and 94.68%
respectively.
