The Commodity Code Challenge
International trade relies on accurate commodity code classification, but manual HS (Harmonized System) code assignment is time-consuming, error-prone, and requires specialized expertise. Companies struggle with:
- Complex classification rules with thousands of possible codes
- Manual processes that slow down trade operations
- Classification errors that lead to customs delays and penalties
- Need for specialized trade compliance expertise
Our AI solution transforms this manual process into an automated, accurate, and lightning-fast classification system.
