How it works
A full packet becomes a finished entry draft in one pass
The slowest, most expensive step in the entry becomes the fastest.
Upload the packet
Send in the commercial invoice and packing list. View Customs reads them and pulls every billable line, with description, quantity, value, and country of origin.
Classify in minutes
It retrieves real candidate headings from the USITC tariff and proposes a 10-digit code for every line at once. The slowest part of the entry happens in one pass.
Approve with confidence
Each line shows its reasoning, source, and confidence. Scan the clear ones quickly and put your attention where it actually counts.
Export the entry
Send entry-ready output straight to your ABI software and move on to the next file.
What you can do
One toolkit for the whole classification job
From a single line to an entire catalog, every tool is grounded in live USITC data and built to surface duty exposure before it costs you.
Group Classification
Drop in the whole packet. Get every line back, classified.
Send the commercial invoice, packing list, and BOL together. View Customs reads the stack, types each document by role, and returns a validated 10-digit code for every billable line in one pass — including scanned and image-only PDFs.
- Every billable line, in a single pass
- Mixed stacks routed by document role — no phantom lines
- Reads scanned & image-only PDFs (OCR)

Description Optimization
Turn thin invoice text into a customs-grade description.
A vague line like “plastic part” classifies badly. View Customs rewrites it into the material, function, and use facts that actually drive the heading — so every code stands on a description that holds up to review.
- Surfaces the missing facts a classifier needs
- Keeps your original wording beside the optimized one

What it unlocks for your team
More throughput per person, on every file
Speed where it counts, with the grounding and the audit trail to back every code.
Minutes per shipment
Extract and classify a whole packet in one pass, so your team spends its time on judgment instead of re-keying line items and hunting tariff codes.
Say yes to more clients
Move more entries through the team you already have, and take on work you used to turn away because nobody had the hours.
Protect your margin
Lower the cost of every file. The work that used to eat an afternoon clears in minutes, so each entry is more profitable than the last.
Sharper the more you use it
Every confirmation and correction is saved to your firm's private knowledge base, so the suggestions fit the goods you ship and the calls your experts make.
Fits the workflow you run
Clean CSV and JSON drop straight into Descartes, CargoWise, and the rest of your ABI toolchain. No new system to learn.
Your team signs off
Approve at a glance, with low-confidence lines flagged so you focus where it matters. Your broker files the entry. We never touch CBP.
Who it's for
Built for everyone who touches the tariff
The same grounded engine, reframed for the way your team works — from the brokerage filing the entry to the importer sourcing the goods.
What we check against
Every regime that can change the duty you owe
View Customs is grounded in the official tariff and surfaces the special-program exposure on the lines it touches. We flag what applies; your broker decides the entry.

Built on solid ground
Speed only counts if the codes hold up
Every code View Customs proposes is grounded, validated, and auditable. Here is how that works, and where we are headed.
Grounded in the official tariff
Every suggestion starts from current USITC tariff data and is validated against it in real time. A general chatbot will hand you a code that does not exist. View Customs will not.
Follows the rules brokers use
Classification follows the General Rules of Interpretation. When a 10-digit code cannot be confirmed, you get the most specific validated heading and the line is flagged for a person.
Duty exposure, surfaced not decided
Section 301, IEEPA, Section 232, and USMCA exposure is flagged on the lines it touches. We surface what applies and never decide the final duty you owe.
An audit trail on every line
Reasoning, source, and a confidence score travel with each code, so any decision can be explained and defended later.
Your data stays yours
Documents and corrections are stored in your account and scoped to it. We describe our data handling plainly and never claim certifications we have not earned.
Built to raise the bar
Formal data-handling controls and a SOC 2 program are on our roadmap as we grow with our pilot brokers.
Your private knowledge base
It learns the way your firm works
View Customs remembers. Every time your team confirms or corrects a code, that decision goes into your firm's private knowledge base. It is built to get sharper the longer you use it, so the suggestions reflect the goods you actually ship and the calls your experts actually make.
Your knowledge stays yours, scoped to your account, working for your team and no one else.
Saved once, then carried into every future shipment of that product, for your whole team.
