How It Works

Classification,
step by step.

TariffTel offers two self serve products to help you classify: TTExplore for instant AI-generated codes on demand, and TTVerified for expert-backed classification with a full audit trail. Both products share the same five-step process — only the depth of verification changes.

Plus, if you need something more bespoke, our Managed Services, powered by TTVerified, can help your business in a variety of ways.

The Process

Two products, two routes to a confident tariff code.

TTExplore gives you a fast, self-serve AI route — describe your product and get up to three ranked code suggestions with full reasoning in seconds. TTVerified adds expert verification and a complete audit trail for codes you need to defend at HMRC. Here is exactly how each product works.

Why The Method Works

Accurate, audit-ready, without the customs department

The five-step process is designed so non-specialists can produce codes that stand up to scrutiny. Automation does the heavy lifting; experts back the decisions that matter; and everything is recorded as you go.

Speed without shortcuts
Codes are assigned in seconds, but they're grounded in current tariff databases, FTAs and WCO guidance, not guesswork.
Expert-backed decisions
Complex and borderline cases are verified by TariffTel's in-house classification specialists before they're finalised.
Compliance built in
The audit trail is created automatically, so HMRC compliance is a by-product of the process rather than extra work.

FAQ

How It Works Questions

Common questions about onboarding, expertise, bulk uploads, verification and the audit trail.

Get Started
Most teams are classifying within days, not months. You can start with direct product input straight away, or onboard a catalogue in bulk via Excel, imagery or ERP sync. Because TariffTel removes manual data entry and assigns codes in seconds, there's no lengthy implementation project before you see results.
No. TariffTel is built so that teams without a customs background can produce accurate, audit-ready HS codes. The platform applies proprietary classification rules, the latest tariff databases and WCO guidance automatically, and TariffTel's own classification specialists are on hand to verify complex or borderline decisions for professional and enterprise customers.
Yes. You can onboard products in bulk using Excel spreadsheets or a direct ERP sync, rather than entering each item by hand. This is designed for retailers and manufacturers with large or fast-changing catalogues who need to classify thousands of SKUs consistently.
When a classification is complex or borderline, TariffTel's in-house classification specialists review the automated decision before it's finalised. They draw on General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs), UK ATaR rulings and WCO guidance to confirm the correct code. Expert verification is available on the TTVerified platform only and additional expert support is available to professional and enterprise customers.
Yes. Every classification decision, expert consultation and supporting document is logged with reasoning, evidence and a timestamp. This gives you full compliance transparency and a defensible record should HMRC query a commodity code, removing the guesswork from any audit.
