HS classification involves categorizing goods into one or more of over 5,000 Harmonized System (HS) codes used internationally for customs and trade purposes. This process requires a deep understanding of product properties, familiarity with classification rules, and extensive experience in this highly specialized skill. Our AI-driven tool simplifies this process by accurately determining the HS code based on the product description you provide, at a fraction of the cost typically charged by classification specialists.
We currently offer classification at the Harmonized System 6-digit level because these codes are internationally compatible and can be used in any country. Beyond the HS 6-digit code, each country has its own additional codes. Our system achieves a very high rate of accuracy at the 6-digit level by using multiple databases from different countries, which can only be consolidated at this level of detail. Once you have the correct 6-digit code, it is relatively easy to find the corresponding 8 or 10-digit codes by consulting national tariff books.
We have experimented with HS classification based on photos, but we are not fully convinced it provides reliable results. There are several reasons for this:

Inconsistent Photo Quality: The accuracy of classification heavily depends on the quality and clarity of the photos uploaded. Unfortunately, ensuring consistently high-quality images across users is challenging, which significantly impacts the correctness of the results.

Complexity of Product Details: HS classification often requires an understanding of the product’s material composition, intended use, and other details that may not be visible in a photo. A photo alone rarely provides enough information to make an accurate classification.

Limitations of Current Technology: While image recognition technology has advanced, it still struggles with nuances like distinguishing between similar-looking products made of different materials or with different intended uses—both of which are critical factors for proper HS classification.

Variations in Image Perspective: The way a product is photographed (e.g., angle, lighting, background) can distort its appearance, making it difficult for automated systems to correctly identify and classify the product.

More Reliable via Text: HS classification based on detailed product descriptions or specifications provided in text format is far more reliable. With text, we can consider specific product details that are crucial for classification but not visible in photos, such as chemical composition, dimensions, and manufacturing process.

Risk of Misclassification: Due to the potential for errors and the complexity of certain classifications, we find that text-based descriptions yield more accurate results, minimizing the risk of costly misclassification that could affect customs processes and compliance.

For these reasons, we currently recommend and rely on text-based HS classification for the most accurate and reliable outcomes.
