Classification Guide

9-field input standards for HS Code classification. Each field is validated against international legal standards (WCO, ISO, SI) to achieve 100% classification accuracy.

ACCURACY FORMULA (466-combination Ablation test)
product_name (+18%) + material (+45%) + category (+33%) + description (+4%) = 100%
The remaining 5 fields (processing, composition, weight_spec, price, origin_country) affect 7-10 digit national codes and duty rate lookup, not the base 6-digit HS code accuracy.
Required (3 fields)
Recommended (6 fields)
