Classification Solutions
Solutions for any business large or small
Customs classification is a complicated area and companies work in different ways. To that effect we have not produced a one size fits all system and we can provide a solution to suit the products you are importing, the size of your organisation and your budget. Some typical solutions are detailed below:
Vendor Engagement
Suitable for importers needing a solution to classify large numbers of products or where the level of product information may not be available in order to classify products. Some key features include:-
Local User System
Ideal for importers who need an accurate classification solution with the ability to classify multiple products at the same time and that requires no specialist personnel. Even buyers and merchandisers can classify their products with ease and also obtain MFN, GSP and other Trade Agreement rates to work out landed costs.
Outsourcing
Remove the headache of classification and outsource the whole process to us.
We can use the TariffTel system to automate classification where possible to reduce the cost of classification to you, arrange BTIs and liaise with vendors and buyers to obtain the information to arrive at an accurate classification.
We can provide the customs classification code back in to your systems or direct to your customs broker or declaration system.
Whether you are classifying internally or using a freight forwarder or other 3rd party, why not work out the cost of classification to your business and the contact us to see if we can reduce your costs.
Case Study
We take an order feed from a large well known high street retailer and load this in to the TariffTel system. We obtain further product details and images from their PLM system and attach this info to the order. Applicable item types are assigned to the items and an accurate tariff code is proffered to the order item. Interfaces are then used to export to the client's customs declaration software ready for when the goods arrive. We liaise with buyers and suppliers when further info is required to ensure we get the classification correct.
