What is Zolltarifnummer.com?
Zolltarifnummer.com is a German web app that uses AI to determine the correct 11-digit customs tariff number for a product, including HS, Combined Nomenclature, TARIC, and German-specific national codes. Users input a product name, image, link, or document such as an invoice or CSV file, and the system returns the classification with legal justification, duty rates, and applicable measures. Results export as PDF, CSV, or Excel and the page lists a five-search free trial before paid packages.
Why Zolltarifnummer.com works
A wrong tariff number can trigger retroactive duties and penalties for up to three years, so importers and exporters often pay specialists to classify every new SKU. By cross-checking product data against EU TARIC, German EZT, and vZTA databases automatically, Zolltarifnummer.com gives a defensible first answer per product in seconds and lets a customs team escalate only the genuinely ambiguous cases.
