Customs tariff numbers from product data instead of manual lookup
Many teams manually research commodity codes, copy supplier-provided codes from invoices, or ask a broker for each new SKU. Declarium connects product and document data with relevant customs tariff data so classification becomes faster, more structured, and reusable.
- EZT data as the basis for German classification
- Evaluation of product description, item data, invoice, and technical attributes
- Less manual tariff research for recurring products
Classification for the EU, Switzerland, the UK, and other target markets
Customs tariff numbers become country-specific beyond the first six HS digits. The same product may require different national codes, measures, or duty logic for the EU, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom. Declarium can support classification for these markets and include the relevant tariff data for each target country.
- EU and German context with TARIC and EZT
- Swiss classification with Tares data
- UK classification with UK Trade Tariff data
Commodity code, customs tariff number, HS code, and TARIC in operations
Companies use different terms and data sources: commodity code, customs tariff number, HS code, TARIC, item master data, invoice text, or product description. The practical goal is a reliable classification workflow that can be used in import, export, and document processes.
- Structured goods classification for recurring items
- Use in customs declarations, export document workflows, and import processes
- Reusable results for item master data and operations teams
AI supports classification, but does not decide blindly
Customs tariff numbers directly affect duties, restrictions, controls, and compliance. Declarium does not treat classification as unchecked AI output. Suggestions are generated from relevant tariff data, product information, and plausibility logic; uncertain cases can become visible exceptions.
- AI-assisted suggestions instead of black-box classification
- Plausibility checks for incomplete or contradictory data
- Human-in-the-loop for uncertain or specialist cases
Which data helps with goods classification?
The better the product information, the more reliable the classification workflow. Relevant inputs include material, intended use, technical properties, composition, origin information, supplier data, invoices, packing lists, and existing master data.
- Product description, technical attributes, and material data
- Invoices, packing lists, datasheets, and supplier data
- Existing commodity codes from master data for checking and reuse
From classification suggestion to customs declaration
A customs tariff number is operationally useful only when it can be used in the next process. Declarium can connect classification results with customs declarations, Document AI data, uploads, API workflows, and status feedback instead of treating classification as an isolated lookup.
- Make classification usable in import, export, and transit data
- Prepare third-country tariff numbers for relevant target markets
- Return status, questions, and exceptions in a structured way
For many SKUs, suppliers, and product variants
Automated goods classification is especially relevant when companies handle many articles, changing suppliers, technical products, or recurring new variants. The value is not only one code, but a repeatable classification process.
- E-commerce and trade companies with many SKUs
- Industrial companies with components, spare parts, and technical products
- Logistics and fulfillment teams with inconsistent product data quality
Not a binding tariff ruling, but a controlled process
Declarium does not replace a binding tariff ruling and should not be understood as a blanket legal guarantee. The solution helps bring tariff-data-based classification into the customs workflow, make suggestions traceable, and handle uncertain cases in a controlled way.
- Tariff-data-based support instead of blind code guessing
- Documented exceptions for uncertain classifications
- Expert review possible when product details or customs questions are critical
