    Carries its reasoning, any flags and a link to the official tariff.

How it works

From product description to declaration-ready code.

No tariff books and no guesswork. The same four steps whether you are classifying one new line or an entire catalogue.

  1. Describe

    Enter the description you would put on a commercial invoice. Add material, use and origin for a sharper answer — or upload your catalogue as a CSV.

  2. Classify

    click2classify applies the WCO General Rules of Interpretation in order and proposes a six-digit HS code, with a confidence score and its reasoning.

  3. Resolve

    The HS code is resolved against UK, EU and US tariff data to the 10-digit commodity codes and duty rates each declaration needs.

  4. Review and reuse

    Uncertain results wait in one review queue. Confirmed codes are kept in your catalogue and reused, so answers get more consistent over time.

For teams

One answer for the board, the build and the warehouse floor.

Classification touches risk, systems and daily operations. click2classify gives each of them what they need from the same result.

Questions

What teams ask first.

Is a suggested code a binding ruling?

No. click2classify gives a reasoned suggestion that supports your declaration; responsibility for its accuracy stays with the declarant. Where you need legal certainty, apply for an Advance Tariff Ruling from HMRC, Binding Tariff Information in the EU, or a CBP ruling in the US.

Which markets are covered?

The UK, the EU and the US, each to 10 digits. The six-digit HS code is shared by every WCO member, so it is also a reliable starting point for other destinations.

Where does the tariff data come from?

Official sources only: the UK Trade Tariff, the European Commission’s TARIC database and the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Data is synced on a schedule and every result links back to the official tariff for verification.

What makes a good product description?

What it is, what it is made of and what it is for. “Men’s knitted T-shirt, 100% cotton” will be classified with far more confidence than “T-shirt”. Incomplete descriptions are flagged so you know what to add.

Can we classify our whole catalogue?

Yes. Upload a CSV of up to 10 MB in the console — description, SKU, material, use and origin columns are recognised automatically — or send up to 100 products per request through the batch API.
