Harmonizer is an AI-powered trade compliance platform that automates the HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) classification process. Instead of manually searching through thousands of pages of tariff schedules, you simply describe your product in plain language.
Our proprietary GRI Engine applies all 6 General Rules of Interpretation sequentially, cross-references over 10,000 historical CBP rulings, and delivers a validated 10-digit HTS codeβplus a full Defense Packetβin under 2 minutes.
Harmonizer is purpose-built for three primary audiences:
Harmonizer is currently in its Q2 2026 Pilot Program. To get access, apply via the Pilot Program page. You'll need a valid business email address.
After applying, you'll receive a registration link and 5 free classification credits within 24 hours β no credit card required.
Our GRI Engine achieves 99%+ match accuracy on standard product categories tested against expert-verified classifications. Accuracy varies based on product description quality β the more specific the input, the more precise the output.
Every result includes a confidence score and the full reasoning chain, so your team can review and approve each classification before it's committed.
Yes. Harmonizer outputs all levels of the classification hierarchy:
All three levels are provided in every classification output, along with the applicable duty rate, MPF, Section 301 tariff (if applicable), and GRI logic.
Yes. Harmonizer supports bulk manifest upload via CSV or spreadsheet. You can upload an entire product catalog or shipment manifest and receive classifications for all items in one batch.
Bulk classification is included in the Pilot Program and all paid plans. Results are returned as a downloadable CSV or pushed to your ERP via API.
Our engine automatically cross-references 10,000+ historical CBP rulings from the CROSS (Customs Rulings Online Search System) database. This ensures your current classification is consistent with legal precedent.
Relevant ruling numbers and summaries are cited directly in your Defense Packet, giving you a pre-built legal argument if CBP ever questions your classification.
The Q2 2026 Pilot Program is Harmonizer's limited early-access priority access giving 130 selected firms access to the full platform β including exclusive beta features like Landed Cost Estimates, PGA Flags, and Trade Agreement Eligibility β completely free.
To join, complete the short application on the Pilot page. You'll need a work email, your monthly classification volume, and your role. No credit card required.
Yes. The Q2 2026 Pilot Program is $0 entry cost. You get 5 free classification credits upon registration, with the ability to use the full platform throughout the priority access period.
Pilot members are grandfathered into a locked pricing rate when we officially launch paid plans in Q2 2026 β your rate will always be lower than what new customers pay.
The Q2 2026 priority access has a total capacity of 130 spots. As of now, only 34 spots remain. Applications are reviewed in order of submission, and early applicants are prioritized.
Once the priority access fills, the waitlist will open for the Q2 2026 priority access. Apply early to secure your Q2 spot.
A Defense Packet is an automatically generated PDF document that accompanies every HTS classification. It contains:
This document is designed to satisfy CBP's Reasonable Care standard and act as your legal shield in any audit scenario.

During the Q2 2026 Pilot Program, access is completely free. Paid plans launch in Q2 2026, with pricing based on monthly classification volume.
Pilot members receive grandfathered pricing β your rate will be locked at a lower tier than post-launch customers, permanently.
For enterprise pricing or custom volume needs, contact sales.
No credit card is required to join the Pilot Program. You get 5 free classification credits with no payment information needed. Billing only begins when paid plans launch in Q2 2026, and only if you choose to continue beyond the free tier.
PGA (Partner Government Agency) Flags indicate when your imported goods require review or approval from a U.S. government agency beyond CBP. Common PGAs include:
Failing to file proper PGA documents before arrival can result in holds, examinations, or refusal of entry. Harmonizer automatically flags these requirements as part of the Pilot Program's early-access features.
Yes β Trade Agreement Eligibility checking is one of Harmonizer's Pilot Program early-access features. It checks whether your goods qualify for preferential duty rates (potentially 0%) under active U.S. trade agreements including:
