Simplify global sales and shipping. Minimize risk. Maximize confidence.
Expanding your business across borders just got easier. Our suite of modular global APIs takes the complexity out of cross-border shipping, so you can deliver confidently to customers around the world.
Simplified classification
Get your goods moving faster with automated Harmonized System (HS) classification:
- Single & bulk item classification: Instantly retrieve 6-digit and 8+ digit HS codes for any item — whether shipping to one country or many — without manual review.
- Multi-country bulk classification: Classifying an item for multiple destinations? Get all supported 6-digit and 8-digit HS codes from a single origin in one seamless request.
Accurate duties & taxes
Protect your margins and your customers from unexpected fees with real-time, reliable landed cost calculations:
- Duties & tax — single or multi-country: Use HS codes to instantly calculate landed costs for one product going to one or multiple countries.
- Duties & tax — basket calculation: Calculate total duties, taxes, and fees for multiple items shipped to a single destination.
- Fully landed cost: Go beyond duties and taxes by factoring in carrier rates and service options for the most accurate, real-world international pricing.
Stay compliant
Avoid customs delays and costly compliance mistakes with up-to-the-minute import and export restrictions:
- Single country check: Instantly screen a product for restrictions, prohibitions when shipping to a specific destination.
- Multi-country screening: Validate product restrictions across multiple destination countries in one call.
- Comprehensive compliance coverage: Includes checks for CITES, Health, Limited Quantity, Hazmat & Dangerous Goods, ITAR, Medical regulations, and more.
