The Challenge
Misclassified goods bring duty underpayment, penalties and held containers. It persists because classification sits with a few long-serving brokers while product data changes faster than tariff notes.
How It Works
- Reads commercial invoices, packing lists, specifications, prior entries and tariff schedules.
- Proposes tariff code, origin and valuation with the rule text and precedent entry cited.
- Hands the broker a pre-filled declaration, flagging the lines that need a human eye.
What It Removes
- Manual tariff lookup for each new product line
- Rekeying invoice lines into the declaration system
- Reworking rejected entries after a border query
Input Data RequirementsCommercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, product specifications, historic customs entries, tariff schedules, rules of origin
Output FormatPre-filled customs declarations with cited tariff rules, a classification register per product, and a queue of lines flagged for broker review
