How to get fast, accurate 10-digit HTS classification
Customers now demand confirmed 10-digit HTS classifications and duty exposure before they’ll ship. This includes Section 232, Section 301, reciprocal duties, country-of-origin dependencies, and provisional tariffs.
But large, complex commercial invoices still take brokers hours or even days to classify. Shipments stall. Customers wait. Teams drown in line items. Costs rise. Ripple removes the bottleneck – delivering results in seconds, not days.

Why Classification has become the bottleneck
- Commercial invoices arrive with hundreds or thousands of line items
- HTS codes are missing, partial, or inconsistent
- Descriptions lack the detail required for 10-digit decisions
- Customers won't release freight without landed-cost certainty
Automated HTS Classification
Reads real-world commercial invoicesand produces defensible 10-digit US HTS classifications – including Section 232/ 301 relevance – even when only 6 or 8-digit codes (or no codes) are provided. AND calculates the applicable duties. Then automatically integrates with your systems (such as CargoWise) to update appropriate records.
Result: thousands of line items classified in seconds. Experts review exceptions, not thousands of lines. Volume scales without headcount growth.
Live in US Production
Pentagon handles high-risk oil & gasshipments where HTS delays previously held customer shipments pending approvaland created downstream cost exposure.
With Ripple:
- Week-long classification cycles reduced to seconds
- Incomplete or missing codes fixed automatically
- Missing data caught upfront and clarifications requested from customers
- Brokers focused on complex exceptions
