From source data to an approved customs result

A controlled tariff classification workflow for single products and bulk data

Digicust combines product information, official tariff sources and reusable classification knowledge so high-quality records can move faster without hiding uncertainty.

01

Inputs

Product descriptions, materials, function, technical specifications, images, catalogues, supplier documents and Excel or ERP product lists.

02

Automated workflow

Normalize the product record, identify missing attributes, retrieve relevant tariff context, propose a code and preserve the reasoning and source trail.

03

Checks and sources

Data completeness, nomenclature hierarchy, explanatory material, customer decisions, valid BTI references and conflicts with earlier classifications.

04

Outputs

Proposed HS, CN or national tariff codes, confidence, reasoning, cited evidence, missing-data questions and structured bulk results.

Automation and human control

Straight-through processing is available only when data quality and configured confidence thresholds are met. Other records remain queued for expert review.

Illustrative workflow

A product list is uploaded from Excel. Most items reuse approved knowledge, while ambiguous descriptions are held back with precise questions instead of receiving invented codes.
