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.
