A product title is not a customs declaration. Turn it into a classification dossier.
Send the facts you have. Cleo asks for the ones that decide the code, cites the notes, and keeps the dossier your broker signs.
- You send
- a product, the facts you know, the country and the date
- Cleo returns
- the missing questions, or candidates down to the national line with cited evidence, and a JSON or PDF dossier
- For
- ERP and TMS vendors, e-commerce, PIM, 3PL, customs brokers
- 112 of 249 countries and territories at the national line, 26 nomenclatures
- Batches of 2,000 items, webhooks, CSV and Shopify write-back after your review
- Candidates to validate, never a binding ruling
