01
Describe the product
Write what the product is in your own words, or paste the line from a specification sheet. DutiveX reads the description the way a classifier would: what the thing is, what it does, what it is made of and how it works.
How it works
From a product description to a tariff code you can explain.
DutiveX is built for the moment a real product does not obviously match a single heading. It works from the official tariff schedules, keeps the reasoning visible, and leaves the final decision with the person accountable for it.
The journey
What using DutiveX looks like.
02
Answer only what is missing
Rather than asking you to complete a long form, DutiveX identifies the details that would actually change the result and asks only for those. If a product can be classified from what you have already written, you are not asked anything further.
03
Select the jurisdictions required
Choose the destinations the decision has to hold up in. Each jurisdiction publishes its own tariff schedule with its own structure, so each one is worked through separately rather than derived from a single shared answer.
04
Receive the tariff code and the explanation
You get the code for each jurisdiction alongside the official description, the product facts the result depended on, the reasoning that led from chapter to subheading, and the schedule it was read from.
The result
Every classification can show its working.
A code by itself cannot be reviewed, reused or defended six months later. DutiveX presents the result as something a colleague, an adviser or a customs authority can follow.
- The tariff codeThe classification for each jurisdiction you selected.
- The official descriptionThe wording of the heading and subheading as the tariff schedule states it.
- The facts usedWhich of your product details the classification actually depended on.
- Why this path was followedThe route from chapter to heading to subheading, written in plain language.
- The official sourceThe schedule the result was read from, so the analysis can be checked at source.
Working with it
What helps, and what DutiveX will not do.
What helps DutiveX give a better answer
- What the product does, not only what it is called
- The materials it is made from
- How it is powered or operated, if that applies
- Whether it is presented complete, as a kit or as a part
- The destinations the decision has to hold up in
What DutiveX does not do
- It does not guess a missing fact quietly — it asks, or it records the gap
- It does not present a result without the reasoning behind it
- It does not issue customs rulings or provide legal advice
- It does not replace the authorised person who signs the declaration
Where the line sits
DutiveX prepares the analysis. Your authorised person makes the decision.
Classification carries legal responsibility, so DutiveX is built to be checked rather than trusted blindly. Every result is presented with the reasoning and the source behind it, so the person accountable in your business can review the work before it is used.
- Reasoning stays visible. No code is returned without the path that produced it.
- Sources stay attached. Every result names the official schedule it was read from.
- Missing facts stay visible. Where a detail is needed and absent, DutiveX says so instead of assuming it.
- The decision stays yours. DutiveX is not a customs broker and does not provide legal advice.
Pilot programme
See it on one of your own products.
Pilot conversations start with a single product that is genuinely difficult to classify. That is usually the fastest way to judge whether DutiveX is useful to you.
