AI tariff classification for footwear importers
A defensible tariff code, with the reasoning on the record.
TariffWise interviews you the way a customs expert would. It asks only the questions that change the code, suggests a ten digit HTS classification, explains why, and stores the record for audit.
Anatomy of a classification
Footwear
Textile uppers
Sports footwear
Duty line
Each segment narrows the classification, and each turns on a fact about the product. Upper material, ankle height, and toe construction decide where a shoe lands. TariffWise captures those facts one question at a time.
Live demo
This is the working prototype. Enter a footwear product below and answer the interview. The engine walks verified 2026 USITC Chapter 64 data and the AI layer extracts facts from your answers.
Recorded walkthrough
A complete interview session, from product description to stored audit record. The recording shows the full flow even when the live Space is asleep.
How it works
Five steps move the user from rough input to a documented, exportable record. The user supplies what they know. The AI gathers what the code requires.
Describe the product
A short form takes the product name and a plain description. No technical detail is required to start.
Answer the interview
The AI asks only the questions that change the code. A live panel shows the working classification narrow with each answer.
Review the result
The suggested code arrives with a numbered rationale tied to your answers. A chat box lets you question it.
Keep the history
Every classification is stored with its date, status, and reasoning. Past decisions stay reviewable.
Read the full record
The result shows the code, the numbered derivation, and the basis in the schedule. The complete record stays on screen for review.
Design decisions
Classification capability is common across competing tools. TariffWise competes on how clearly it reaches a defensible code and documents the reasoning. Every choice below serves that goal.
The intake form stays short
The form asks only what the importer already knows. The AI gathers the technical facts in the interview, so getting started takes almost no effort.
The rationale forms in view
A live panel shows the working code update after every answer. The user watches the reasoning take shape and can judge whether to accept it.
Limits are stated before use
The app declares what it does on the first screen. It suggests a code and explains the reasoning, and it says plainly that it does not file the entry.
The result can be interrogated
The suggested code carries a numbered rationale, and a chat box lets the user challenge it in plain language. A code the user can question is a code the user can trust.
Every control signals its action
Buttons name what they do, and each answer produces a visible change in the working classification. The user can always predict and confirm what the system just did.
The AI assists, the importer decides
The AI extracts facts and documents reasoning. The importer reviews, questions, and accepts the final code. The tool sharpens expert judgment and leaves the decision with the expert.
TariffWise is decision support. It suggests a classification and explains the reasoning. It does not file entries and it is not legal advice. The importer remains responsible for the final code.
