Overview

This node integrates with the MobyTrade API to classify products or search for probable HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) classifications based on product descriptions and additional optional details. It is useful for importers, customs brokers, and businesses needing to determine tariff codes and duty rates for products. For example, a user can input a product description and receive classification codes or search for matching classifications to ensure compliance with import regulations.

Use Case Examples

  1. Classify a product by providing its description, country of origin, material, value, and weight to get HTS codes and duty rates.
  2. Search for probable HTS classifications by entering a product description and optional filters like country of origin and limit on the number of results.
