What's inside
Natural language input
Describe the product in plain English — material composition, dimensions, intended use, manufacturing process. Tandom maps it to the correct 10-digit HTS classification.
GRI reasoning chain
Every classification shows the complete General Rules of Interpretation path — which Chapter, Heading, Subheading, and Statistical Suffix apply, and why each was chosen over alternatives.
CROSS ruling cross-reference
Classifications are checked against CBP's CROSS rulings database. Supporting and conflicting rulings are cited with ruling numbers. Ambiguous cases are flagged for human review.
Confidence scoring
Each classification comes with a confidence percentage based on the specificity of the product description, consistency of GRI application, and ruling support. Low-confidence items route to expert review.
Reasonable care documentation
The classification report serves as a compliance artifact demonstrating reasonable care under 19 USC 1592. Full audit trail of inputs, reasoning, and sources.
Full tariff breakdown included
Every classification feeds directly into the duty calculator. Get the HTS code and the complete duty picture in one step — no separate lookup required.
