Pricing is on request. The pricing page says basic implementations for small screening volumes and one user start at a few thousand dollars a year; a typical customer screening 50,000 entities should budget around $20,000 a year.

TariffPilot is a cloud platform for businesses classifying goods under customs tariffs and export controls. It searches EZT-Online, including notes and explanations, and uses AI to rerank Binding Tariff Information entries. Results can include German tariff codes, TARIC, CN and HS variants. A PilotMemo records classification reasoning, alternatives reviewed and the process used to exclude them. Users can submit product information as text, PDFs, URLs, images or technical drawings, and can send bulk data through Excel upload or API. Export control classification cross-references the Dual-Use correlation table and military goods list, and can flag goods subject to reporting requirements; sanctions screening is also listed. The platform says it is GDPR-compliant and made in Germany, with Google Cloud EMEA and AWS EMEA named as subprocessors for EU personal-data processing. Plans are billed annually: Starter is €199.00 per month, Professional €799.00 per month, and Enterprise €1499.00 per month. All three have annual proposal caps, and one-time setup fees apply. Ultimate has unlimited proposals and users, but no price is listed.
