Why this data is different
Most shipment data is messy. Descriptions differ, abbreviations vary, and HS codes are often missing. We solve this by
- Converting cargo descriptions into standardized Product Tags.
- Enabling true product-level search and filtering.
- Optionally mapping to HS-4 / HS-6 for validation and tariff research.
- Delivering BI-ready data for dashboards, charts, and models.
What a tagged record looks like
- BOL Description: “CANDY CHOC BARS 35G MILK/PIST FOOD”
- Product Tags: [chocolate bar], [milk chocolate], [pistachio], [35g], [retail pack]
- Classification Tags: [confectionery], [cocoa-based], [snack], [ambient]
- Optional HS Mapping: HS-4: 1806, HS-6: 180631
- Use Case: buyer discovery, competitor tracking, lane analysis
