I spent 5 years classifying medical devices for export. Every shipment required determining the right HS code, a 6-10 digit number that dictates your tariff rate, FTA eligibility, and regulatory requirements across every country you trade with. There are 5,000+ codes. Interpretations differ by country. One wrong classification means fines, delays, or missing duty savings worth thousands of dollars per shipment. This is exactly the kind of problem AI is built for multi-variable, interpretation-heavy, and high-stakes at scale. My co-founder and I trained our model specifically on trade compliance, and Federation Trade Assistant just ranked #1 on Alibaba's HSCodeComp, the toughest global benchmark for HS classification accuracy. We're bringing AI to a sector that moves trillions of dollars in goods but still runs largely on manual work and expert intuition.
