Why Accurate HS & HTS Codes Matter

Correct HS (Harmonized System) and HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) codes are the cornerstone of compliant and efficient international trade. Misclassification can lead to costly fines, shipment delays, and even seizure of goods—up to 15% of global shipments are impacted by incorrect codes.

Key Benefits of Precision Classification:

  • Penalty Avoidance: Sidestep fines and legal action by governments for under- or over-declaring duties.

  • Faster Customs Clearance: Eliminate manual re-inspections and hold-ups by using first-pass accurate codes.

  • Optimised Duty Rates: Ensure you never overpay tariffs due to misclassified product categories.

  • Reliable Trade Analytics: Build dependable landed-cost models and forecasting based on the right code assignments.

  • Consistent Compliance: Keep pace with ongoing HS/HTS updates—our AI models learn from billions of customs filings to reflect the latest nomenclature and country-specific rulings.
