Zolltarifnummer.com is an AI customs tariff classification tool for trade professionals. Its core purpose is to help users find the 11-digit customs tariff number (Codenummer) that can be used for customs declaration for imported goods, and to make this result verifiable and traceable during customs inspection. Unlike query methods that only return a numeric code, this tool outputs complete classification evidence.
Main capabilities
- Returns an 11-digit customs tariff number, which includes the HS code, the EU Combined Nomenclature (KN), and the TARIC code levels.
- Provides classification reasoning based on the General Rules (Allgemeine Vorschriften), explaining why a certain heading applies and why adjacent headings are excluded.
- Provides official EU comparison cases (Verbindliche Zolltarifauskünfte, with number, validity period, and link).
- Cites the original legal basis, including chapter notes, classification implementing regulations, and EU court judgments, with sources and links.
- Generates a goods description that can be transcribed directly into an ATLAS customs declaration.
- Outputs a PDF archival certificate containing the number, reasoning, comparison cases, and process, saved by user part number.
How to use Users describe the product, with fields including: what the product is, what material it is made of, and what purpose it serves. For example, "Diaphragm pump DN80, stainless steel 1.4404, pneumatically driven, for use in a chemical plant." Input can be text, data sheets, images, links, files, or an entire list (dragged directly into the field). If a key feature that determines the assignment between two tariff numbers is missing (such as drive type, material, or processing state), the system asks a multiple-choice question with fixed options; users can answer it without customs knowledge and use the answer to continue classification, rather than filling the gap with assumptions. Results can be used for a single product, or a commercial invoice or product master data Excel/CSV can be uploaded, with each item classified and evidenced separately.
Batch and process
- Supports commercial invoices, Excel, or CSV, with no template required; the system recognizes items and assigns columns, with up to 50 items per batch query.
- The user's own part number is always a key field and appears in the results, the PDF certificate, and a separate column in the Excel export.
- If an item lacks a feature, only that row pauses for waiting, while the rest of the list continues processing.
- Questions and answers are recorded in the certificate file, making it easy to later check which piece of information determined the tariff number.
Use cases Suitable for determining the tariff number before import, preparing materials for customs inspection, handling classification of an entire commercial invoice or product master data,as well as trade and compliance work that requires retaining classification evidence for each import.
Limitations and notes
- Results still need to be checked by the user against their own documents; the classification reasoning and comparison cases provided by the tool are intended for internal approval and responding to customs inquiries.
- Official channels (such as the electronic customs tariff, the Combined Nomenclature, and the Destatis goods directory) require users to classify themselves; this tool is based on the same official texts and comparison cases.
- Regarding the free quota: the first 3 queries are free and do not require an account; afterward, a query package must be purchased, with no subscription, and can be purchased with an invoice.
- Details such as pricing, specific versions, and the range of supported languages are not yet provided in the materials.
