AKANEA, software publisher for the entire Supply Chain, and Transiteo, a startup specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for e-commerce and e-logistics, sign a partnership to simplify the daily work of customs declarants.
A true identification key at every border crossing, the HS code of a product is not only important but also mandatory. While for some goods the search for a customs code in the Harmonized System and the validation of a tariff nomenclature may be straightforward, for others it can become a real puzzle.
A partnership to save customs declarants precious time
Aware that searching for an HS Code is time-consuming and can quickly become a real waste of time, AKANEA has decided to integrate Transiteo’s HS Code Finder solution into its Akanea DOUANE software to make the lives of customs declarants easier and save them valuable time.
The Artificial Intelligence designed by Transiteo, embedded in HS Code Finder, suggests all the nomenclature codes of the Harmonized System (HS Codes) from 198 countries.
« Considering the amount of time that customs declarants can spend searching for the right HS Code of a product, it was important to find a solution to make their work easier and save them time. What’s great about Transiteo’s HS Code Finder solution is that it is innovative thanks to Artificial Intelligence and enables automatic classification. HS Code searches can be carried out using a title, an EAN, UPC, ISBN, or GTIN across all 198 countries covered. »

Artificial Intelligence in constant learning to deliver precise results
Processing thousands of AWBs (Air Waybills) every day, the Artificial Intelligence developed within Transiteo’s HS Code Finder is continuously evolving, with permanent learning.
« Thanks to the continuous development of this AI and its growing knowledge, identifying HS Codes for products will become increasingly simple for customs declarants! The AI will then become an additional tool available to all users looking for a modern and innovative search solution. »
— Karim Medjgal, Akanea DOUANE Product Manager
Accessible in SaaS mode, the HS Code Finder solution integrated into Akanea DOUANE is constantly updated to deliver increasingly precise HS Code suggestions every day.
« Using this technology is a real added value for many customs declarants, with multiple benefits: decision support, productivity gains, and even automation of customs declarations. The major advantage of Artificial Intelligence is that it learns autonomously on an ongoing basis, through its use by our clients and partners, but also thanks to the collection and analysis of new data sources (Air Waybills). »
