TariffPilot

The New June Release is Ready

Unified input for description, file upload and URL input

Separation between description, file upload and URL input has been removed. Now, all of these elements can be combined to describe the goods.

Dual Use Correlation Table

A correlation table for dual-use goods has been added. In the summary now the dual-use footnotes and numbers are displayed.

Additional Code Information

Now with the code for proposal, also the Code Number (German), TARIC code, KN code and HS code are displayed.

Preparations for the Next Generation of Agentic AI Models

The system has been prepared for the next generation of Agentic AI Models. This is not yet visible in the platform, but the groundwork has been laid for broader and more complex AI customs applications.

Further Adjustments

  • Further adjustments for the AEB integration, including a modular authentication system for integration inside of AEB user interface.
  • Added new AI models to the mix.
  • User roles can now be modified after adding users to a tenant.

The New May Release is Ready

Integration with AEB

The integration with the AEB solution enables the handling of complex tariffing cases with the support of generative AI and allows direct transfer into the AEB material master. The combination of AEB’s comprehensive master data and tariffing solution with the specialized TariffPilot logic creates real added value – simple, transparent, and system-integrated.

EU-Hosted AI Models by Default

The new AI models provided as part of the May release are hosted in the EU by default. This not only ensures compliance with European data protection regulations but also improves the performance and availability of AI-powered features for our users in the EU. If the EU-hosted AI models are temporarily unavailable, the system will automatically switch to US-hosted models. This ensures continued access to AI-powered features even in such cases.

Web search is now provided based on Google Search, ensuring better comparability with manual research.

ECICS Database

The ECICS database has been integrated to enhance the information available on chemical substances.

Further Adjustments

  • Selected BTIs (Binding Tariff Information) can now be reset if needed
  • The reference ID is now also displayed in the overview
  • CSV export available for both batch and single queries
  • Content-Security-Policy header tightened for increased security

The New February Release is Available

  • The revamped web search now provides more specific information for product descriptions, focusing on material composition, function, purpose, and other details.
  • Found websites are listed, and users can directly incorporate relevant information into the product description with a simple click.
  • The results of the web search are saved in PilotMemo for both individual and bulk classification, ensuring traceability.
  • The web search can now be used with PilotMemos created from uploaded PDF files, images, or URLs.
  • The web search results are displayed in the PDF export of the PilotMemo.

TariffPilot Algorithm

  • The TariffPilot algorithm has been upgraded to include the use of new, more powerful AI models that have become available since the last release.

Expanded Functionality

  • In batch classification, the name of the uploaded Excel file is displayed in the job name.

The new November release is available

Read PDF files and URLs when creating PilotMemos

  • PDF files and URLs can now be read when creating PilotMemos
  • Textual goods descriptions are now validated by AI to detect missing information already during input
  • The PDF file name or URL is displayed in the PilotMemo overview

Mass Tariffing

  • When importing Excel for mass tariffing, the content of the Excel file is initially displayed as a table.
  • After reviewing the table, it can be processed in the form of PilotMemos.
  • This ensures that no relevant information is lost during import.
  • Additionally an example Excel template for mass tariffing is available for download.

Extended functionality

  • A new traffic light logic signals whether all necessary information is available in PilotMemos or further information is required.
  • The user’s language is now automatically set as the main language on the PilotMemo.
  • PilotMemos can now always contain a foreign ID to facilitate assignment to an external system e.g. to the material master.

The new September release is available

Extended functionality

  • Die neue Massen-Tarifierung per API ermöglicht es, PilotMemos für eine größere Anzahl von Waren automatisch zu erstellen.
  • Call-back function: The TariffPilot now asks the user if important information or technical features are missing for a classification
  • User can take over the vZTA customs tariff number, documentation of the decision in the PilotMemo

Updated UI & significantly improved UX

  • Faster / smoother platform
  • New tab-based UX -> goods declaration, then proposal, then vZTA, then summary
