Coming in Phase 2

Describe your goods. Get the HS code.

Type a plain English description - "men's cotton underwear" or "electric toaster, 2-slot, stainless steel" - and Dutiful returns the correct commodity code with confidence scoring, destination-specific extensions, and full requirements context in a single response.

How it works

Natural language in, structured classification out

In Assist, just describe the item as part of your query. Dutiful returns the 6-digit HS code, the destination country's extended code, a plain English tariff description, and a confidence level - alongside all the requirements data you already get.

For API customers, a dedicated POST /v1/classify endpoint handles single or multi-item queries. Multi-item is especially useful for relocation - classify an entire household inventory in one call.

Classification is included in existing pricing. No add-on, no per-classification charge. This contrasts with competitors like Zonos Classify at $500+/month for classification alone.

Transparent confidence

Dutiful tells you when it's sure-and when it's not

Every classification includes a confidence level. No false certainty. If the description is too vague, Assist will ask for more detail before returning a final answer.

•

High confidence

Goods type is unambiguous and maps cleanly to a well-established HS code. Use with confidence for formal declarations.

•

Medium confidence

Description is somewhat generic or alternatives exist. Best-match returned, but review before formal declaration. Common with composite materials.

•

Low confidence

Insufficient description detail. Assist will prompt for more information-material, intended use, dimensions. Best-effort only until clarified.

For developers

The /classify endpoint

Multi-item classification in a single API call. Returns HS6, destination-specific extended codes, confidence, source URL, and any relevant restrictions-alongside the full requirements context you already get from Dutiful.
