Dynamic Classification of HS Codes

Merchants can now easily and accurately classify products with the right Harmonized System (HS) Codes every time, ensuring smooth and compliant cross-border trade. FlavorCloud’s dynamic classification engine, leverages SKU level data from your store to classify products real-time using our AI engine at checkout ensuring proper detailed classification based on each country’s rules for greater accuracy of landed costs and compliance to avoid any delays or customs issues.   

The FlavorCloud classification engine, powered by advanced deep learning AI algorithms, effortlessly identifies and assigns HS codes to products using SKU level data from your store’s product descriptions, data and images. 

How does FlavorCloud do classifications?

FlavorCloud’s innovative neural network AI system represents a significant advancement in the field of international e-commerce logistics. By seamlessly integrating product images, text, and descriptions, the system employs advanced machine learning algorithms to accurately assign Harmonized System (HS) codes to products. This automation streamlines the process of international shipping for e-commerce stores, eliminating the need for manual classification, which is often time-consuming and prone to errors. The neural network is trained on a vast dataset of products across various categories, enabling it to recognize and categorize a wide range of items with remarkable precision. This not only ensures compliance with international trade regulations but also significantly reduces the likelihood of customs delays due to incorrect HS code allocation.

The core of FlavorCloud’s system lies in its deep learning capabilities, which enable it to continuously improve and adapt to new products and changing international trade regulations. As the system processes more data, it becomes increasingly efficient at predicting the correct HS codes, even for novel or complex products. This adaptability is crucial in the fast-paced world of e-commerce, where new products are constantly introduced, and regulatory environments are ever-changing. The AI’s ability to learn and adjust over time offers e-commerce stores a future-proof solution that evolves with their needs and the global trade landscape. Moreover, the system’s integration capabilities allow it to work seamlessly with existing e-commerce platforms, making it a versatile tool for businesses of all sizes.

FlavorCloud’s AI-driven approach to HS code classification also provides valuable insights into global trade trends and product categorizations. By analyzing the data collected through the system, ecommerce stores can gain a better understanding of international market demands and regulatory requirements. This data-driven approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also opens up opportunities for strategic decision-making and market expansion. In essence, FlavorCloud’s neural network AI system is not just a tool for simplifying international shipping; it’s a comprehensive solution that empowers e-commerce businesses to navigate the complexities of global trade with confidence and ease.

Support & Troubleshooting

FlavorCloud guarantees landed costs with DDP shipping services. However, if you have incorrect product data or misclassified manual 6-digit HS codes in your ecommerce platform, we cannot guarantee those landed costs or compliance related fines and issues.  

If our automatic HS code classification is wrong for any reason, the landed costs will still be guaranteed as those codes were applied by our internal services. Therefore, we encourage you to save time and money by letting FlavorCloud auto classify your products for seamless shipping and delivery.  

A failure notification will alert you promptly if you encounter issues like classification errors.
