AI HS code classifier

Describe your product, add a photo if you have one, and get a tariff code that exists in the current schedule, with the reasoning a broker would want to see.

Classify a product

AI output, checked against the tariff table but not a binding ruling. For a binding decision, request a ruling from CBP or ask a licensed customs broker.

Product description

0/500

Material or composition (optional)

Intended use (optional)

Destination country

US returns a 10-digit HTSUS line when the data supports it. Other destinations return the 6-digit HS subheading.

Photo (optional)

Resized in your browser before upload and sent only to the model for this request. We do not store it.

How it works

Step 1
Describe the product
Say what it is, what it is made of, how it works and what it is used for. A photo helps with construction and materials.
Step 2
We search the tariff and CBP rulings
Your description is matched against the HTSUS (or the HS for other destinations) and the CBP CROSS rulings database before the model sees it.
Step 3
The model applies the GRI
It works through the General Rules of Interpretation, picks the best code, explains why, and lists alternatives with the reason each was rejected.
Step 4
Every code is checked
Each code is looked up in the tariff table before it is shown. Codes that do not exist are hidden, and you can jump straight to duty rates for the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI HS code classifier free?: Yes. You get 3 classifications a day with no account and no email. If you need more on the same day, leaving a work email unlocks additional classifications.
Can I file a customs entry with this code?: Treat it as a well reasoned starting point, not a binding ruling. The importer is responsible for classification. For certainty, request a binding ruling from CBP or have a licensed customs broker review it.
What is the difference between an HS code and an HTS code?: The HS code is the 6-digit international Harmonized System code shared by WCO member countries. The US HTS (HTSUS) adds digits 7 and 8 for the duty rate and digits 9 and 10 for statistics, giving a 10-digit code.
What does GRI reasoning mean?: The General Rules of Interpretation are the six rules every customs authority uses to classify goods. GRI 1 says classification is decided by the heading terms and the section and chapter notes; the later rules handle unfinished goods, mixtures, sets and subheadings.
Do you store my product photo?: No. The photo is resized in your browser, sent to the model for that one request and discarded. It is not saved to our database, file storage or logs.
How do you stop the AI from inventing codes?: Every code the model returns, including alternatives, is looked up in the current tariff table before it is shown. A code that does not exist is hidden, and if a more specific line does not exist we fall back to its real parent code.
