For new items, a reasoned suggestion for the customs tariff number is quickly available, together with the features that are still missing. The customs department checks in a targeted way instead of searching from scratch every time.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly classify new items for import or export, often with sparse goods descriptions from suppliers or customers.
  • There is someone with customs knowledge who can check suggestions and take responsibility for them.
  • Item master data with material, use and dimensions is available in full or in part.
First step today
