Important Advisory Notice: The classifications and assessments provided by this Service are for advisory and informational purposes only. They do not constitute a binding ruling or determination by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), or the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
3.1 You are responsible for providing accurate and complete product descriptions, commodity information, and supporting documentation when using TradeBrain for classification analysis.
3.2 You acknowledge that TradeBrain provides classification guidance as a decision-support tool. As the importer or exporter of record, you retain ultimate responsibility for all classification, licensing, and compliance decisions.
3.3 You agree not to submit classified government information, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or export-controlled technical data without proper authorization through the platform.
3.4 You agree not to use TradeBrain to facilitate any transaction that violates U.S. export control laws, sanctions regulations, or international trade compliance requirements.

TradeBrain uses proprietary classification algorithms and analytical models developed by Defense Trade Solutions to determine commodity classifications under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) for imports and Schedule B for exports. The platform incorporates artificial intelligence services for natural language processing and product analysis as one component within a multi-layered classification engine.
All classification logic — including GRI (General Rules of Interpretation) analysis, Section and Chapter Note enforcement, candidate code generation, heading-level discrimination, confidence scoring, and regulatory compliance checks — is performed by the TradeBrain proprietary engine. AI services process product descriptions and return structured data which is then validated, scored, and refined by the TradeBrain classification brain before any result is presented to the user.
TradeBrain is a decision-support tool designed to assist trade compliance professionals with commodity classification analysis. Classifications provided by TradeBrain are advisory in nature and represent the platform's analytical determination based on the information provided by the user.
The user, as the importer or exporter of record, retains ultimate responsibility for all classification decisions, customs filings, export license determinations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. TradeBrain classifications should be reviewed by qualified trade compliance personnel before use in official filings or regulatory submissions.
TradeBrain's classification engine is continuously tested, validated, and improved through rigorous quality assurance processes. While the platform achieves high accuracy rates across commodity categories, certain products may present classification ambiguities where multiple tariff headings could reasonably apply under the General Rules of Interpretation. In such cases, TradeBrain presents its analytical determination along with supporting rationale, enabling the user to make an informed final decision.
Classification accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of information provided by the user. Vague, incomplete, or ambiguous product descriptions may result in lower-confidence classifications. Users are encouraged to provide detailed product descriptions, technical specifications, and supporting documentation to achieve the most accurate classification results.
Classification records and generated reports are retained for a period of one (1) year from creation. After this period:
Record Keeping Reminder: U.S. export regulations may require retention of export records for five (5) years. Please ensure you maintain your own copies of all classification reports and supporting documentation.
