Product description in the classification

To ensure accurate customs tariff classification, the product description should contain at least two key pieces of information:

• A general term or overarching description of the product (“bookshelf,” “cat food, Mr. Beef 400g can, veal and chicken”)

• Material composition (physical makeup, e.g., made of steel, made of cotton, made of 40% plastic and 60% glass, etc.)

• Intended use (what the item is used for/where it is used/built into, etc.)

Examples of acceptable product descriptions:

• “Fans for cooling computers”; “Fittings for furniture”

• “Profile made of stainless steel X2CrTiNb18,” “Chair made of wood,” “Bearing housing”

• “Bookshelf,” “Car diesel engine,” “Smartphone,” “Chewing gum,” “Screwdriver”

Examples of unacceptable product descriptions:

• “1004, 1005”

• “$%^&< > : " / \ | ? *”

• “XXX111”

The accuracy of the classification depends heavily on the amount of information provided. Please note that the AI can only work with the information it is given. Missing information cannot be considered in the classification process by traide.
