Overview

This node integrates with the MobyTrade API to classify products based on their descriptions. It supports two main operations under the Classification resource: 'Classify Product' and 'Search Classifications'. The 'Classify Product' operation provides the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code and duty rates for a given product description, which is useful for import/export compliance and customs documentation. The 'Search Classifications' operation allows users to search for probable HTS matches based on a query, helping to identify relevant classifications for products. Practical applications include automating product classification for customs declarations, tariff calculations, and trade compliance.

Use Case Examples

  1. Classify a product by providing its description and optional details like country of origin, material, value, and weight to obtain HTS codes and duty rates.
  2. Search for product classifications by entering a query and limiting the number of results to find probable HTS matches.
