HS Code Classification

Flash AI — Product Classification and Landed Costs

Flash AI automatically classifies your products and calculates landed costs—duties, taxes, and fees—at the exact moment a SKU is created or added to cart. It’s real-time, broker-free, and 98% accurate. See how it works.

Costly & Manual Process

Manual classification and duty guesswork are costing you

The Legacy Way

If you’re shipping cross border,
you’re probably:

Flavorcloud Swoosh

Emailing spreadsheets to brokers

Flavorcloud Swoosh

Manually assigning harmonized tariff (HS) codes (and getting them wrong)

Flavorcloud Swoosh

Blindly trusting your manufacturers to accurately assign HS codes

Flavorcloud Swoosh

Estimating duties in spreadsheets or outdated tools

Flavorcloud Swoosh

Losing margin on overpaid tariffs, or worse, delaying shipments

Every misclassified SKU or mistyped duty rate chips away at your bottom line. Every cart with missing landed cost info increases your abandonment rate.

Flash AI exists because none of this should still be your job.

To have an app that installs quickly to give real time quotes based on country and service is really great and easy. I would say what it comes down to is cost, and the shipping costs are much lower than our old services. There's 2 services, standard and express and they quote out all of their carriers based on destination country.
