HS classification: Senda, Descartes CustomsInfo and Zonos

If you classify goods for many countries, a dedicated classification product is the right tool. If you import wood, pulp, paper or steel into the United States and want the code and the duty estimate on the shipment itself, Senda is narrower — and says so.

For global coverage, rulings research and large catalogues, choose Descartes CustomsInfo or Zonos. For US imports in chapters 44, 47, 48, 72 and 73, kept on the shipment record, Senda fits.

Where Senda earns its place

What you get that is hard to get elsewhere.

Real codes only

Every suggestion is a subheading from the US schedule, re-checked before it is shown. The AI assistance in the ranking is disclosed, not hidden.

Rate columns kept apart

General, Special and Column 2 duty rates shown separately, with the tariff revision named and a plain “cannot determine” for per-unit rates.

Which one to pick

Which one fits depends on the job.

Choose Senda if

  • You import wood, pulp, paper or steel into the United States.
  • You want the code and the duty estimate attached to the shipment they belong to.
  • You would rather be told “cannot determine” than be handed a confident guess.

Choose Descartes CustomsInfo and Zonos Classify if

  • You classify for many destination countries, not only the United States.
  • You need rulings research, or bulk validation of a large product catalogue.
  • Classification is a standalone compliance function feeding an enterprise system, or you sell cross-border online and want it at checkout.

A narrow tool, on purpose

Classification suites like Descartes CustomsInfo exist to answer the question for any product, into any country, backed by rulings research. That breadth is what a compliance department buys, and Senda does not attempt it.

Senda's classification is deliberately scoped. It is strongest for the commodities its customers ship — wood, pulp, paper and steel — into the United States, and outside those chapters it says it cannot confidently classify. Every figure it returns is an estimate to take to your licensed customs broker, not a determination.

Questions

What people ask us.

Does Senda classify for Korea and the EU?

Senda's classification and duty estimates cover the full US tariff schedule. Korea and EU rates are indicative only, and cover the wood, pulp and paper chapters.

Is Senda's HS classification AI?

Ranking is AI-assisted, and we say so. The model can only reorder real subheadings from the US schedule; it cannot introduce one of its own, and every code is re-checked before you see it.

Can I rely on Senda's duty estimate for filing?

Treat it as a well-sourced estimate, not a determination. Every figure carries a reminder to verify with your licensed customs broker, because a listed rate is not always the rate collected.
