Tariff Classification Engineer

The communication between the Tariff Classification Engineer and your ERP system can take place in two ways: 

1. Interface between the tariff classification software and your ERP system: This is useful if the relevant data comes exclusively from your ERP system. Creating a direct interface enables seamless data transfer and ensures efficient processing of the information by our Tariff Classification Engineer.
2. Downloading the data into a customised template: This is useful if data from different sources is to be processed. The relevant data is downloaded into a specially configured template that is processed by the Tariff Classification Engineer. This flexibility allows data from different sources to be integrated and standardised to enable comprehensive analysis.

Depending on the data quality, the classification software can process approx. 5,000 items per hour. Accordingly, ten hours can be estimated for the technology-sided processing of 50,000 articles. Added to this are the costs for creating the input data set and processing the classification results. A total project duration of approx. three weeks is realistic. 

Yes, it is possible to integrate the classification software into your current process. It is initially designed for a one-off, completed review or product classification. However, the process can be repeated as required, for example when the portfolio is expanded. In addition, the software can be integrated into your process once the project has been completed so that you can increasingly use it independently. 

The Tariff Classification Engineer initially represents a completed check or bulk tariff classification of your goods. It is then possible to integrate the tariff classification software into your company's own tariff classification process. 

The German customs administration is in favour of using the Tariff Classification Engineer, especially as the underlying technology solution from traide AI is well-known and appreciated. The technology is being tested by the customs administration in its own use cases, which indicates confidence in the effectiveness and reliability of the solution.   

Structured and first-time goods classification or verification by the economic operator is also favoured by the customs administration, as it helps to increase data quality and compliance. This facilitates the customs process for both companies and customs authorities, as a more precise classification leads to fewer delays and misunderstandings.
