This is an engine where users can search for the HS Code of the cargos they are handling. All the user needs to do is to key in a description of a commodity; then the engine will present a list of HS codes and their official descriptions.
How it works? The engine classifies the products based on a given description accurately and efficiently, and is highly flexible and adaptable, with a self-learning capability from historical data which caters to continuously changing product description. The system is able to understand localized terminology such as ‘satay’, a local delicacy in ASEAN, and provides HS code recommendations along with the official descriptions from the chapter (2 Digit HS Code) level to the dutiable (8-13 Digit HS code) level.
Note: The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, also known as the Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized system of names and numbers to classify traded products. It is used by more than 180 countries worldwide, and almost 100% of international trade.
