100% compliance record on 20,000 SKUs
Boohoo group set out to transform their approach to customs classification with TariffTel. Their goal was to ensure the smooth and quick entry of millions of units into the US. Their first challenge was to quickly and accurately classify thousands of SKUs, a complicated task given boohoo group stored only partial product master data. Further difficulty lay with the complexities of the US customs controls which vary significantly to the UK.
Why TariffTel
Boohoo group chose the precision classification platform TariffTel. This provided a centralised approach to assigning US tariff codes, capturing and storing essential product data which is crucial for accurate classification. The TariffTel team had less than four months to classify thousands of SKUs from various suppliers.
TariffTel engaged suppliers for specific information, including size, weight, fabric composition, product images, and supporting documentation. Only TariffTel could facilitate this level of digital transformation that allowed Boohoo group to achieve a more efficient and compliant process in classification.
This solution was transformative for boohoo group, we capture all the data required from suppliers for classification that produces the full 10 digit US HTS code. This innovation has ensured the smooth flow of goods through US Customs and since the distribution centre opened we have had zero shipment delays on products entering the US.
