Make Product Classifications simple with Hurricane

Every product moving internationally must be correctly classified under the Harmonized System. Errors or inconsistencies in HS codes can result in delays, seisures, rework and increased cost.

Hurricane simplifies product classification by validating the relationship between product descriptions and HS codes, ensuring data accuracy before goods move.

This allows organisations to prevent issues at source rather than resolving them at the border.

For each consignment or product record, Hurricane can return:

The most likely HS6 code

Associated product descriptions

Relevant export and import codes at country level

This classification data is required by customs authorities globally and forms the basis for duty, tax and compliance decisions.

New Regulations and Data Requirements

Global trade regulations increasingly require complete, accurate and verifiable product data.

Regimes such as EU import controls, pre-loading data requirements and evolving customs systems mean that poor classification data now leads directly to shipment disruption, rejection or seizure.

Hurricane supports organisations by ensuring classification data meets modern regulatory expectations before submission.
