HS codes, with the reasoning shown

Proposes an HS code for each product description, based on BTI rulings, your past classifications and the customs tariff, and shows the reasoning. Your trade compliance specialist confirms.

Proposes only. Trade compliance confirms every code
Problem

Invoices describe goods in the supplier’s words, not the tariff’s. For each new product someone looks up how similar goods were classified before, reads the tariff headings and notes, and records the code and the reason.

What it does

YP first applies any binding tariff information (BTI) your customer holds, then your classification history. For new products it applies the General Interpretative Rules to the headings, notes and explanatory notes, proposes the full CN or TARIC code and writes down the reasoning, with every source it used.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

The work starts the moment a new product comes in. A product description with no approved code, on an invoice or a product list, starts the run.

YP checks what has already been decided. The customer’s BTI rulings are applied first, and your past classifications for that customer are applied after that.

The tariff is worked through for every new product. Headings, section and chapter notes and explanatory notes are compared, following the General Interpretative Rules.

Each proposed code comes with the reasoning behind it. YP shows the headings it considered and why one was chosen, and unclear cases are marked as unclear.

Your trade compliance specialist confirms every code. The specialist approves the code or changes it, and only approved codes are used on declarations.

The outcome

Every classification is confirmed by a person and stored with its reasoning, so the next shipment starts from it.

01
Reasoning on every code

Headings considered and why one was chosen

02
BTI rulings first

Then your past classifications, then the tariff

03
Trade compliance confirms

Every code, before it reaches a declaration

For your numbers

YP proposes each HS code with written reasoning, so you pay duty on the right code and every classification is ready for an audit.

How it runs

Designed for enterprise.

Private

Runs on your infrastructure. Drawings, prices, client and claims data never train a model.

Explainable

Not a black box. An AI auditor checks that every task was done as intended and proposes improvements.

Traceable

Every value links to the document, rule or record it came from. Every step is logged. A named person approves anything that leaves the building.

Your systems

Works in your ERP, CargoWise, policy system, GIS and file shares. Nothing is replaced.
