How fast is Classify?

Most classifications are completed in under 100 milliseconds. With bulk upload, you can process up to 50,000 items per hour.

What is an HS code, and why does it matter?

An HS code (Harmonized System code) identifies goods for customs, duties, and taxes. Using the correct HS code speeds up customs clearance, ensures accurate landed cost calculations, and avoids costly delays or penalties.

What happens if my HS code is wrong or missing?

If a shipment has the wrong or missing HS code, customs delays, rejections, and additional duty charges are likely. Customs authorities often assign a higher duty rate to cover extra work. With Classify, you can prevent these issues by ensuring your products are classified correctly before they ship.

Does Classify's accuracy improve over time?

Yes. Classify's AI constantly improves through customs feedback and manual data sampling.

How many digits does Classify return?

Classify returns HS codes between 6 and 14 digits. By default, you will receive a 6-digit universal HS code. If a ship-to country is provided, Classify returns the appropriate 8–14 digit code based on the destination (typically 10 digits).

How much information is required to request a classification?

At minimum, only a product name is required. However, the more detailed information you provide—such as material, categories, or images—the higher your classification accuracy will be.
