USTradeStack uses artificial intelligence to assist with HTS tariff classification, landed cost estimation, supplier risk screening, and compliance analysis. AI-generated results are provided as a starting point for your research — not as legal or professional advice.
⚠ Important: Tariff classifications, duty rate calculations, and compliance assessments generated by this platform should always be reviewed and verified by a licensed U.S. customs broker, trade attorney, or qualified import compliance professional before making business decisions or filing with CBP.
What AI can do
- Suggest HTS code classifications based on product descriptions, using pattern recognition across tariff schedule data
- Estimate landed costs including freight, insurance, port fees, and applicable duty rates
- Screen suppliers against publicly available restricted party lists (UFLPA, OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List)
- Identify potential compliance flags based on country of origin, product category, and trade program eligibility
- Reference publicly available trade regulations, CBP rulings, and Federal Register notices
What AI cannot do
- Guarantee HTS code accuracy — tariff classification requires legal judgment, product expertise, and often a binding ruling from CBP
- Account for every applicable special rate, temporary duty reduction, or product-specific exclusion
- Replace a licensed customs broker's signature on entry documents
- Provide legal advice on trade remedies, anti-dumping orders, or customs penalty proceedings
- Predict future tariff rate changes, Section 301 exclusion decisions, or IEEPA refund eligibility with certainty
Section 301 & IEEPA Tariff Disclosures
AI-generated tariff rate information may not reflect the most recent Section 301 escalation rounds, IEEPA authority activations, or product-specific exclusions. Tariff rates under these programs change frequently — verify current rates directly via usitc.gov, ustr.gov, or CBP's ACE portal before making purchasing or sourcing decisions.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using this platform does not create an attorney-client, broker-client, or any professional services relationship. The output of our AI is not privileged communication and should not be treated as confidential trade advice.
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for independently verifying all AI-generated classifications, rates, and compliance assessments before relying on them for import decisions, customs filings, or supplier agreements. USTradeStack assumes no liability for classification errors, missed duty obligations, or supply chain disruptions resulting from reliance on AI-generated content.
