The HS Code is the "DNA" of foreign trade — it determines the duty rate, export rebate rate, VAT rate, regulatory documents and certificate-of-origin type. A single wrong digit in classification can cost hundreds of thousands. SBK builds in a full library of 13,000+ customs codes, linked to rates and document requirements, with classification requests routed through workflow approval and historical classifications reused automatically.
Code library + smart matching + request approval + historical reuse
13,000+ customs codes built in, updated monthly with the latest General Administration of Customs notices, across all 4 / 6 / 8 / 10-digit HS Code levels
Export rebate rate / import duty (MFN / general / agreement / interim) / VAT rate / consumption-tax rate / regulatory documents summarized in one view
New-product classification runs a "submit → broker confirmation → approval" flow, preventing newcomers from classifying on their own and creating tax risk
Once classified, products are archived to the master data and auto-called on the next declaration, keeping classification consistent and avoiding customs challenges
The standard declaration elements for each HS Code are auto-retrieved, so no fields are missed on the customs declaration
Alerts when the same product is classified under different HS Codes over time, avoiding customs challenges to classification consistency
5-dimension rates + regulatory docs
Classifying a new product no longer means checking the customs website + flipping through tax-administration notices + asking the broker. In the system, one HS Code shows the complete picture: export rebate rate (with this year vs last year comparison), multi-tier import duties, VAT rate, consumption-tax rate, and regulatory-document requirements (license / 3C / CIQ).
Classification decision flow
Which HS Code a new product gets is not something a salesperson decides on a whim — get it right and you reclaim tens of thousands more, get it wrong and customs may audit and demand back-taxes + late fees. SBK's classification-request form runs a "submit → broker confirmation → internal review → archive" flow, so every new product's classification has grounds.
LED Ceiling Light 18W — history timeline
The same product classified under 8539.5000 in March, 9405.4010 in June, then back to 8539.5000 in September — customs spots the trick instantly, possibly deeming it false classification to defraud rebates. SBK archives each product's classification history; changes require a reason and approval, ensuring consistency.
For a newly designed LED high-bay light, the salesperson submits a classification request; the broker confirms 9405.4010 with a 13% rebate rate, used company-wide.
A Vietnamese customer importing our product can enjoy 0 duty under the RCEP agreement; the system flags the preferential rate for that HS Code under RCEP.
The tax administration announces a rebate-rate cut for a product category; the system updates the data at month-start and alerts that relevant orders be calculated at the new rate.
Customs audits a classification issue on a model; within 5 minutes the system exports that product's 3-year classification history + broker confirmation letter + declaration elements — full evidence.
Customs / tax rebate / import all rely on the correct HS Code
