SimplAI’s HS Code Classification Agent is an AI-driven solution designed to swiftly and accurately classify products according to global Harmonized System (HS) codes. By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) 2.0 techniques, the system automates the classification process, reducing human error and increasing efficiency for businesses engaged in international trade.
Our solution is ideal for:
Importers and exporters
Customs brokers or agents
Logistics and e-commerce industries
Retail and manufacturing industries
The HS Code system is complex and navigating it manually can result in costly errors. Here's how our agent solves these key challenges:
Manual Classification: Error-prone and Time-consuming: The HS Code system spans over 5,000 commodity groupings and requires frequent updates. It is complex, and manual classification often results in errors.
Customs Fines & Penalties: Incorrect HS codes lead to fines, penalties, and unreimbursed overpaid duties. Our agent minimizes these risks by ensuring accurate classification.
Import & Export Risks: Misclassifying goods can cause shipment delays, customs rejections, and even legal complications. Automated classification ensures smoother international trade operations.
Refund & Compliance Hassles: Incorrect classification complicates claiming refunds for overpaid duties. The agent streamlines this process by ensuring accurate code assignment.
Confiscation Risk & Documentation Issues: Misclassification can lead to confiscation and additional documentation requirements. Our agent reduces these risks through accurate and detailed code assignments
AI-powered Classification: Leverages LLMs and RAG technology to classify products based on detailed text descriptions.
Hierarchical Classification: Begins with broader categories (chapters and headings) and narrows down to sub-headings, including country-specific 10-digit codes for precise classification.
Reasoning & Transparency: Provides clear reasoning behind the selected classification, ensuring transparency with supporting citations.
Human-in-the-loop: The system offers suggestions with reasoning, allowing users to make quick, informed decisions and reducing complexity.
Real-time Processing: Instantly processes product descriptions and provides classification results, accelerating workflows.
Global Standard Compliance: Complies with global HS code systems from organizations such as the WCO and the EU.
Users provide detailed text descriptions of their products, including attributes like material, usage, and specifications.
The agent analyzes the input, offering the most accurate HS code in most cases. In certain scenarios, it returns multiple options for users to select from.
The system delivers the final HS code with a breakdown of chapters, headings, and sub-headings, ensuring global standard compliance.
Efficiency Gains: Automated classification streamlines the process, reducing time spent on manual classification by up to 4X and accelerating workflows.
Cost Savings: By minimizing misclassification errors, companies avoid costly fines, shipment delays, and rework. The solution also reduces the need for large teams, lowering labor costs.
Compliance Benefits: The agent ensures compliance with global trade regulations, mitigating the risk of regulatory penalties and ensuring smooth customs operations.
SimplAI’s HS Code Classification Agent delivers accuracy, speed, and reliability in HS code assignment, reducing manual effort and the risk of errors. Our solution streamlines the complex process of global trade compliance, enabling businesses to operate more efficiently and with confidence.
