Get customs-ready data from just an image

Not just a guess — defendable, deep research 

Every HS code classification has an Audit Trail available — a detailed justification explaining why that code is the best fit, why similar codes don't apply, and what product attributes influenced the decision. Request it as a separate call when you need it, such as when defending an HS code assignment to customs authorities.

Details that influenced classification

The specific product attributes that Vision picked up on. These drove the classification decision.

Why this HS code is the best fit

Clear explanation of why the assigned HS code is the most accurate match for the product.

Why similar codes aren't right

Analysis of similar HS codes and why they were ruled out, reducing audit risk.

Multiple items

Multiple items? No problem. 

Vision Zonos AI doesn't just handle single products—it can identify and classify multiple items in a single image. Each item gets its own complete customs data, including individual HS codes, descriptions, and values. Perfect for inspecting packages or processing shipments with mixed contents.

What types of images work best with Vision?

Clear, well-lit photos of products work best. Vision Zonos AI can analyze products in packaging, folded items, or multiple items in a box. The more visible the product details (material, construction, labels), the more accurate the results.

Can Vision handle multiple products in one image?

Yes. Vision Zonos AI can identify and separately classify multiple items in a single photo. Each item receives its own complete customs data including HS code, description, and value estimates.

What's included in the classification justification?

Every classification includes documentation explaining why the HS code was selected, why similar codes were ruled out, and what product attributes influenced the decision. This provides the audit trail customs authorities expect.

How does Vision determine customs value?

Vision Zonos AI estimates customs value based on the identified product type, materials, and category, cross-referenced against market data. Results include both a primary estimate and a reasonable range to help with accurate declarations.

Can I integrate Vision into my existing systems?

Yes. Vision Zonos AI is available through the Zonos API, allowing you to integrate image-based data extraction directly into marketplace listing flows, carrier shipping platforms, warehouse management systems, or customs workflows.

How can forwarders and integrators use Vision?

Forwarders and integrators can integrate Vision Zonos AI into their warehouse workflow so that when an item arrives, staff photograph it and Vision Zonos AI instantly returns customs data—HS code, country of origin, customs value, and product description. This eliminates manual research and customer back-and-forth, which is especially valuable when original product data is unavailable.

Is Vision already being used in production?

Yes. Vision Zonos AI powers the Zonos Prepay app, which posts around the world use to help shippers prepay U.S. duties. Shippers photograph their items and Vision Zonos AI suggests the customs details—making the process fast and accurate.
