Our HS-code advisor combines information from Customs and the Harmonized System code, expert knowledge, over 10 years of expert-handled documents, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to consistently find the most suitable HS-code for your request. With this powerful combination, we ensure that you receive the best possible HS-code each time, tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some key features and reasons why we believe in our HS-code advisor:

• Accuracy: Our system is built upon comprehensive and up-to-date HS-code databases, ensuring accurate and reliable code matching. This minimizes the risk of errors and potential penalties associated with incorrect HS-codes.
• Efficiency: With our system, you can quickly and efficiently search for HS-codes either through our website or by integrating your systems with our API. This saves time and effort compared to manual code determination methods.
• Regular Updates: We continuously update our HS-code databases to reflect changes in regulations, ensuring compliance with the latest customs requirements. This eliminates the need for manual tracking of code updates, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
• Cost-effectiveness: By utilizing our HS-code advisor, you can significantly reduce costs compared to assigning employees to manually determine HS-codes. The transparent pricing structure we offer allows you to control and optimize your expenses based on your usage.
• Support and Integration: We provide API integration support to seamlessly connect our HS-code advisor with your existing systems. Our team is available to assist you throughout the integration process and provide any necessary technical support.

We have developed our HS-code advisor with the aim of streamlining and simplifying the complex process of HS-code determination, ultimately facilitating smooth customs procedures and ensuring compliance. We are confident in the capabilities and benefits of our product, and we would be delighted to provide further information or address any specific questions you may have.

Harmonized System codes

The Harmonized System (HS) code system was first introduced in Europe on January 1, 1988. The HS-code system is an internationally harmonized system for classifying goods, used for determining customs duties, statistics, and other purposes in international trade. It was developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and is now implemented worldwide.

HS-codes are periodically revised to accommodate new products, technologies, and trade practices. The World Customs Organization (WCO) is responsible for managing and updating the Harmonized System.
In general, the Harmonized System is reviewed every five years. During a revision, new codes may be added, existing codes may be modified or removed, and changes can occur in the descriptions and classification guidelines of the codes.
It is important to stay informed about these changes as they can impact customs procedures, rates, and regulations for international trade. Customs authorities and trade professionals should regularly consult the updated versions of the Harmonized System to ensure they are using the correct HS-codes when classifying goods.

At CODICI, we closely monitor the official HS nomenclature. We promptly incorporate any adjustments and ensure that you benefit from them immediately.

Expertise

In order to enhance the capabilities of our HS-code advisor, we have leveraged the expertise of our team in several ways.

Firstly, our experts have carefully analyzed and structured the HS nomenclature to optimize its compatibility with AI technologies. They have worked on refining the format and organization of the HS-codes, ensuring that they are easily digestible and accessible for AI algorithms. This preprocessing step is crucial in preparing the data for efficient processing and accurate code matching.
Additionally, we have obtained permission to utilize HS-codes, along with their corresponding descriptions and other relevant information, from large-scale Customs documents spanning the past 10 years. This extensive historical data provides valuable insights into how goods have been classified and categorized over time. By incorporating this knowledge into the AI model, we enable it to learn from past patterns and make more informed decisions when assigning HS-codes to specific goods.

This combination of expert knowledge and access to a comprehensive dataset allows our HS-code advisor to deliver accurate and up-to-date code suggestions based on the specific characteristics and attributes of the goods being classified. The continuous learning and improvement of the AI model ensure that our system remains reliable and adaptable to changing trade practices and regulations.

Artificial Intelligence

When you submit a query to our HS-code advisor, it undergoes a sophisticated process that involves the collaboration of multiple artificial intelligence models. These models include both publicly available language models and our own proprietary AI model, which has been trained using a combination of expert knowledge and historical data from prominent import-export entities.
The AI models work together in a coordinated manner to analyze your query, taking into account various factors such as the provided description, value, and weight of the goods. Each model evaluates the query independently and generates a list of potential HS-codes along with a confidence score for each suggestion. The confidence score represents the level of certainty that the model has in its prediction.

The generated HS-codes and their corresponding confidence scores are then combined to create a comprehensive set of results. The top five suggestions with the highest confidence scores are presented to you through the API response, with the best match appearing at the top of the list.
While the top suggestion is typically the most accurate match, we provide the other suggestions as well to offer a range of options. This allows you to have more flexibility in making your final decision based on your specific requirements.

By leveraging the collective intelligence of multiple AI models and incorporating expert knowledge and historical data, our HS-code advisor aims to provide you with the most reliable and accurate HS-code suggestions for your query.
