ProductsAI-assisted HTS classification for customs brokers

HTS classification
that explains itself.

Stable Classification proposes HTS codes with auditable reasoning, CBP ruling references, and confidence scores, so your classifiers spend time on edge cases, not obvious ones.

What it does

Six capabilities built
for your classification workflow.

Every feature is designed for the customs broker who classifies hundreds of entries a week. Not a generic AI tool retrofitted for trade.

01: AI ENGINE

Trained on your commodity history, calibrated against CBP rulings.

The classification engine is trained on HTSUS schedule data, CBP binding rulings, and your firm's own classification history. It understands your commodity mix. Not just generic product descriptions.

02: RULING REFERENCES

Every suggestion cites the CBP ruling behind it.

Proposed codes come with the binding ruling, informed compliance publication, or tariff chapter notes that support the classification. Your classifiers see the reasoning, not just the answer.

03: CONFIDENCE SCORING

Know which ones need a human and which ones don't.

Every classification comes with a confidence score and a ranked alternative list. Entries above your threshold auto-classify and go straight to review queue for final approval. Below threshold: routed to a classifier immediately.

04: REVIEW QUEUE

Your classifiers focus on the 9%, not the 91%.

The review queue shows only the entries that need attention: low-confidence classifications, flagged commodity types, and anything your firm's rules require human sign-off on. Not every entry. Just the ones that matter.

05: AUDIT TRAIL

Five years of classification history, CBP-ready.

Every classification decision is logged: who proposed it, who approved it, which ruling was cited, what the confidence score was, and when. Exportable in the format CBP requests for focused assessments.

06: COMMODITY LIBRARY

Your firm's classification decisions become institutional knowledge.

Past classifications, annotated rulings, and commodity-specific notes are stored in a searchable library. New classifiers get up to speed faster. Edge cases have documented precedent. Institutional knowledge doesn't walk out the door.

How it works

From description
to approved HTS code.

Four steps from item description to audit-ready classification, with your classifier in the loop at every decision that matters.

01: DESCRIBE

Submit the item description, origin, and any supporting documents.

Paste the commercial invoice description, attach a product spec sheet if you have one, set the country of origin. The engine accepts natural language. No special formatting required.

02: CLASSIFY

AI proposes a code with reasoning and alternatives in under 3 seconds.

The engine proposes the primary HTS code, documents its reasoning, cites supporting CBP rulings, and ranks alternatives with confidence scores. All in under 3 seconds.

03: REVIEW

Classifiers approve, escalate, or override, with their reasoning logged.

Your classifier sees the proposal, the reasoning, and the alternatives. Approve it, override it with your own code (and log why), or escalate to a specialist. Every decision is recorded.

04: AUDIT

Full classification history, searchable and exportable.

Every classification is stored with its full lineage: who submitted, what was proposed, who approved, what ruling was cited. Pull a commodity history for any HTS code in seconds.

Connections

Reads the systems your firm already runs.

Stable Classification connects to your customs filing software, your clients' product data systems, and the authoritative tariff and ruling databases, so onboarding a new importer is a handoff, not an integration project.

Common questions

What brokers ask us
before they sign up.

On entries our existing broker clients classify today, the engine proposes the correct 8-digit HTS code at or above 91% confidence on 91% of entries. The remaining 9% route to a classifier review queue. Accuracy is measured against your firm's own classification history after a 30-day calibration period.
Yes. You can upload your firm's binding ruling library, annotation notes, and past classification decisions. These train the engine on your commodity-specific precedent in addition to the HTSUS schedule and CBP CROSS database.
Classification proposals include applicable Section 301 list assignments, effective dates, and any active exclusion orders. We track Federal Register changes and update the duty rate data automatically.
No. Classification above your confidence threshold still requires a classifier to review and approve the proposed code before it goes on an entry. The engine handles the obvious cases; your classifiers focus on the ones that need judgment.
Every classification has a full lineage: item description, AI proposal, confidence score, ruling citation, reviewer identity and approval timestamp, and the final HTS code used on the entry. Exportable as a CBP-compatible packet in one click.

HTS classification your classifiers can trust.
