The budget conversation

Priced against what you already pay

A broker doing documented reviews on 60 new products a month at $50 each, the bottom of the usual $50 to $200 band, is $36,000 a year. That is before the duty overpaid on codes nobody revisits, or the hours your team spends reading chapter notes. Growth, the recommended plan, is $2,388 a year on monthly billing. Run your own numbers with the ROI widget on the homepage.

Classification cost for importers

How much does product classification cost for importers?

A US importer pays about $5 to $15 per line when a customs broker adds a code to an entry it is already filing, $50 to $200 per product for a documented classification review, and $150 to $400 an hour for a trade consultant or attorney. A binding ruling from CBP costs nothing but takes around 30 days. Software turns the routine first pass into a flat monthly cost.

The spread matters more now than it did a year ago. With the $800 de minimis exemption suspended, shipments that used to clear on a manifest need an entry with a 10-digit HTS number, so brands that classified a dozen products a year are classifying hundreds. The honest split is to let software handle the obvious headings and spend broker money on the handful of products that genuinely sit between two codes.

Route Typical cost Turnaround What you get
Broker, extra line on an entry $5 to $15 per line Same entry A code on the filing, usually without written reasoning
Broker, documented review $50 to $200 per product Days A researched code with a short written basis
Trade consultant or attorney $150 to $400 per hour Days to weeks A formal opinion, plus help with a ruling request
CBP binding ruling $0 About 30 days A legally binding classification for that product
TariffWise, Growth plan About $0.20 per classification Seconds A 10-digit HTS code, written rationale, duty and landed cost

Broker figures are a market band drawn from price lists US brokers publish, not a quote. The full breakdown, with the arithmetic on a 300 SKU catalog, is in our guide to HTS code classification cost. If you are deciding whether to keep paying per line at all, read customs broker vs classification software, or compare vendors on the best HS code classification software page. If you are still choosing a category of tool rather than a plan, the tariff classification software page sets out what each type does and where it stops. Teams classifying from their own ERP or storefront at volume should look at the HS code API, which comes with the Business plan and works out to about 5 cents a classification.

Fair questions about paying for this

TariffWise starts at $59 a month for 100 classifications, $199 a month for 1,000 with bulk CSV runs and five seats, $499 a month for 10,000 with twenty seats and the REST API, and $998 a month on Enterprise for 20,000 with fifty seats. Yearly billing is half the monthly rate: $29, $99, $249 and $499 a month, billed once a year. Every plan, Enterprise included, is bought from this page with a card.
Because the live demo already is the free taste, with no signup at all. The paid product exists for the part that costs real money to run well: saved history, bulk runs, team seats and an audit trail.
Yes. The live demo is free with no signup, and it runs the same classifier as the paid workspace. Pick a plan when you want saved history, bulk runs and team seats.
Yes, and it saves 50 percent. Yearly billing is exactly half the monthly price, so Starter is $29 a month ($348 a year), Growth $99 ($1,188 a year), Business $249 ($2,988 a year) and Enterprise $499 ($5,988 a year), billed annually.
One product description classified to a code, including its rationale, runner-ups and cost estimate. Re-running a saved SKU on a new lane counts as a fresh estimate, not a new classification.

Everything else lives on the FAQ.
