Built as a sidecar, not a replacement project.
Start with a description or shipment document, review the result and export the work without replacing the system of record.
- Code + confidence
- Review the suggestion with a visible confidence signal instead of accepting a black-box answer.
- Rule + source
- Keep the applicable GRI, note and supporting excerpt available at the moment of review.
- Human approval
- The licensed professional remains the authority and every correction becomes part of the record.
Every shipment becomes an auditable decision.
Leviqa reads the route and the description, suggests the HS/HTS code, and returns the confidence level for every decision. Alongside, a sample of the pipeline: each shipment with its suggested code and explicit confidence.

Classification stopped being a detail. It became a boardroom topic.
The recent tariff chaos shone a light on trade’s most tedious and risky work: telling customs the right code and the right duty. Getting it wrong became too expensive to do by hand.
- Layered tariffs
- Base, Section 301, reciprocal: a single shipment can carry several cumulative tariffs. The real cost is the sum of every layer — and they change all the time.
- End of de minimis
- The up-to-$800 exemption ended in August 2025 — and CBP has suspended it indefinitely, across all modes. Every shipment now requires formal entry, with the correct HS/HTS code and duty.
- Unpredictable landed cost
- Duty stopped being a fixed number and became a decision variable. Getting the math wrong erodes the margin before the sale even happens.
