What makes TariffTel different 

Most classification approaches start in the wrong place — with the tariff book. TariffTel starts with your products. 

 

We capture technical specifications, materials, dimensions, and imagery directly from your suppliers and product teams. Then we classify using our automated platform, built by, and verified by, best-in-class classification experts. Speed and accuracy combined. 

 

The result: 99.9% classification accuracy with a full audit trail. Codes that are both precise and defensible. 

 

Trade specialists who’ve seen it all

Our classification team has handled everything from lithium-ion battery packs to gold leaf-laced easter eggs for M&S to multi-component homewares. They live in BTI databases, WCO guidance documents, Explanatory Notes (ENs) and regional tariff rulings so you don’t have to. 

 

When a classification is ambiguous, when material composition matters more than product function, when regional rules override general logic — our specialists ensure the right code is assigned. 

 

Built for today’s trade environment 

 

When we started in 2011, trade compliance was complex. In 2026, it’s exponentially more so. CBAM carbon reporting. EUDR supply chain traceability. HS 2025 code amendments with HS 2028 amendments expected to be even bigger than previous years. Shifting anti-dumping measures across jurisdictions. Digital Product Passport requirements on the horizon. 

 

TariffTel was built to absorb this complexity so your team doesn’t have to. Our classification framework expands with your business — new markets, new product lines, new regulations — without requiring you to hire specialist trade compliance teams. 

 

As trade gets harder, TariffTel makes classification simpler. 

 

These businesses rely on TariffTel everyday for accurate tariff codes. 

TariffTel was founded in London in 2011 and created with one clear purpose in mind, the validation and management of supply chain data to provide accurate tariff codes. From the start our aim was to ensure our customers paid the correct amount in duty, became more efficient in their processes and avoided disruption due to misclassification.

Our mission remains and is even more important in today’s changing environmental and regulatory trading environment. We want to set businesses up for success in trading across borders and amongst differing customs considerations. That’s why our robust customs classification framework has been designed to expand with you, as your business grows overseas.

Scaling trade operations can be difficult, classification needn’t be.
