HTS classification automation. Classify with confidence.
Your brokers' HTS expertise scales through a living parts library. Chapter 99 tariff stacking is fully automated. No standalone lookup tools.
The Classification Problem Nobody's Talking About
Everyone focuses on the 10-digit product code. But in 2026, the real compliance risk lives in Chapter 99.
Cervo's tariff engine handles the full stacking sequence automatically. Once the base HTS code is established - whether from the parts library or the broker's own classification - the system identifies every applicable Chapter 99 provision based on the code, country of origin, and current trade policy.
Classification and Tariff Stacking Capabilities
Parts Library Classification
Broker-validated 10-digit HTS classifications stored in a living parts library. Returning products auto-populate with established codes, duty rates, and compliance data.
Chapter 99 Tariff Stacking
Section 301, Section 232 (five-tier structure), IEEPA, and AD/CVD duties layered automatically. Exclusions checked, SPI eligibility evaluated, stacking sequence follows current CBP requirements.
Real-Time Tariff Updates
Tariff database maintained using AI interpretation of CBP guidance, reviewed by licensed customs brokers. Your entries always reflect current rates.
Smart Flagging for New Products
Products not in the library are surfaced for broker classification with extracted product data and context. High-confidence matches flow through automatically.
Institutional Knowledge Preservation
When a classifier leaves, their expertise stays in the parts library. New hires access every prior classification decision the team has made.
