HS Code Classifier
Classify SKUs to official HS tariff codes and cross-check supplier codes before customs or marketplace filings.
Overview
HS Code Classifier MCP is a Build-phase MCP server that classifies products to official HS codes and validates supplier codes using HSPing plus AI reasoning before customs submissions.
What is this MCP server?
- Maps product descriptions to official HS codes with AI-assisted reasoning
- Validates supplier-provided HS codes before customs submissions
- HSPing API integration for live tariff schedule access
- Anthropic API key powers classification explanations and edge cases
- v1.0.7 with stdio npm package and Railway streamable-http remote
- Server version 1.0.7
- Two required API integrations: Anthropic and HSPing
- npm identifier hs-code-classifier-mcp with remote MCP on Railway
What problem does it solve?
Wrong HS codes delay shipments, trigger penalties, and waste support time when solo stores scale internationally with messy supplier metadata.
Who is it for?
Solo founders building cross-border ecommerce, fulfillment tools, or agent-driven listing pipelines that must talk to customs and marketplace tax APIs.
Skip if: Large enterprises that already run dedicated trade compliance teams and bonded warehouse systems with human-only classification sign-off.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your catalog and agent workflows carry tariff codes backed by official schedule access and explained classifications, reducing customs rework before you file.
- Proposed or confirmed HS codes tied to product text
- Supplier code validation against official schedule lookups
- Reasoned explanations for ambiguous classification choices
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
HS classification is a Build integrations problem for solo sellers wiring product catalogs to trade APIs, shipping labels, and cross-border checkout—not a generic ideation task. Integrations captures npm MCP wiring to HSPing tariff data and Anthropic reasoning—the canonical place builders connect commerce stacks to external compliance services.
How it compares
Trade-tariff MCP with HSPing data, not a generic product taxonomy or Shopify-only SKU tagger.
