Using AI and machine learning, CustomsAI automates the customs tariff classification process and comprehensively analyses product information. It automatically assigns the appropriate TARIC codes, minimising the risk of errors and delays and ensuring that the current VAT rates are always applied.

Practical Example
Let’s consider the product “Brossard Fleece Jacket Men Lightblue.” This garment, made of microfleece and manufactured in France, must be correctly classified. CustomsAI analyses the product details and accurately assigns them to the correct TARIC code (6110 30 91 00). This ensures that the product is correctly cleared through customs and that the correct VAT rates are applied for the EU-27, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Switzerland.
