USE CASE
HTS classification handled
end-to-end
Automate invoice prep, apply consistent UK customs logic and clear more CDS entries with the same team
FAST, ACCURATE CLASSIFICATION
Fast, accurate 10-digit HTS classification
without the manual work.
Customers need confirmed classifications and full duty exposure before they ship — including Section 232, Section 301, reciprocal duties, and provisional tariffs.
Ripple handles the entire workflow. It reads commercial invoices, assigns compliant 10-digit HTS codes, calculates duties, and updates your systems automatically.
Classifications are completed in seconds, not days.
15-minute walkthrough, no prep needed.
Perfectly simple
“Ripple cut HTS classification from days to seconds. Brokers handle real exceptions, not admin, and customers get confirmed duty exposure before freight moves.”

WHERE U.S. OPERATIONS STALL
Why Classification has become the bottleneck
Large commercial invoices still take hours or days to classify. Shipments wait. Customers chase. Teams get stuck working through line items. Costs rise. Most of the work is repetitive, but it still has to be done accurately.
- Invoices contain hundreds or thousands of line items
- HTS codes are missing, incomplete, or inconsistent
- Descriptions don’t support 10-digit classification
- Customers won’t release freight without landed-cost certainty
- Section 232, Section 301, and other tariffs add complexity
Brokers spend their time on admin instead of more value-added decisions. The result: delays, rework, costs and a workflow that doesn’t scale.
HOW RIPPLE WORKS
Ripple takes over HTS classification from start to finish.
[01]
Reads invoices at scale
Handles real-world commercial invoices with hundreds or thousands of line items. No templates. No manual extraction.
[02]
Assigns compliant 10-digit HTS codes
Applies classification logic consistently across every line item. Handles Section 232, Section 301, and other tariff rules automatically.
[03]
Calculates duties and confirms cost
Duty exposure is calculated instantly. Customers get the landed cost they need before freight moves.
[04]
Flags only real exceptions
If something is unclear, Ripple flags it with suggested classifications. Brokers only review edge cases.
[05]
Fixes missing data early
Missing or unclear information is identified upfront. Ripple requests clarification automatically to avoid delays later.
[06]
Updates your systems
Classification and duty data is pushed directly into CargoWise and other systems. No re-keying. No manual updates.
