Tired of customs issues messing with your shipments? There’s an API for that.
Misclassified HS codes can wreck your logistics flow with delays, fees, and regulatory headaches. For devs building shipping, logistics, or e-commerce solutions — this is the kind of thing you want to automate.
Enter iClassification — AI-Driven HS Code Lookup
iClassification (from iCustoms) uses machine learning to classify products with the correct Harmonised System (HS) code. That means fewer fines, faster shipping, and compliance out of the box.
You can use it in four ways:
1. Manual Search UI
Great for onboarding non-tech teams. Guided prompts let users classify items step by step — by category, material, purpose, etc.
2. Auto Search (AI NLP Engine)
Feed in a short product description — get back the most accurate HS code instantly. No need for a giant rulebook.
3. Hierarchical Search
The system asks detailed questions and gets more accurate with each response. It’s like having a customs expert in your workflow.
4. Bulk Upload Support
Upload a CSV with product data — the system processes everything and tags it with the right codes. Super useful for ops or admin teams.
Why Devs Should Care
- Integrate it into your e-com back end
- Automate logistics compliance
- Prevent customer service headaches
- Avoid hardcoding HS rules into your system
And yes, it can handle regulated and controlled items too.
