TariffPilot vs TariffWise

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.

TariffWise helps importers and exporters classify products under HS/HTS codes and estimate import costs. A classification includes a likely code, its official heading, a written rationale and nearby alternatives, with factors that may affect the result. For a lane estimate, users provide the shipment’s origin, destination and value to receive estimated duty, import tax and landed cost. The demo covers twelve origins and ten destinations, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, UAE and Japan. Compliance flags can surface issues such as lithium battery testing, FDA prior notice for food and textile labeling rules. Paid accounts include saved classification history; Growth and higher plans add bulk CSV classification and team seats. An HS code API is listed for ERP and PIM catalogs. TariffWise runs on the web and through an API, offers a free trial, and starts at $59/mo. Its outputs are AI guidance rather than binding customs rulings, so classifications should be verified before filing. Demo inputs are sent to Google Gemini, and cached result copies may be retained temporarily.
