How it works

1. Import your catalog. CSV, with column mapping and a preview before anything is written. The original file is kept, so you can always see what you actually uploaded.
2. See what is missing. A report grouped by business meaning, not a count of empty cells — which products cannot be classified yet, which contradict themselves, and which have fibre percentages that do not total 100%.
3. Ask your supplier. One scoped request covering only the styles and questions that matter. They open a link on their phone, answer a few structured questions, attach a photo or spec sheet, and submit. No account to create.
4. Accept or reject each answer. Supplier answers arrive as proposals, never as silent edits. The record keeps both who said it and who accepted it.
5. Review a classification. Candidates with the legal notes they relied on, the evidence from your own record, the jurisdiction and effective date, reasonable alternatives, and what is still unresolved.
6. Approve it. A person with approval authority makes it the record. Editing a fact that mattered marks the approval stale rather than quietly changing it.
7. Cost it and export it. Itemised landed cost per unit and total, every rate and assumption visible, reproducible from the stored inputs — then a dossier your broker can read.

What makes the record worth keeping

Every material fact carries where it came from: which supplier said it, which document it was read from, which import column, which person confirmed it, and when. Corrections add a new version and keep the old one, because a decision made on the old value has to stay explicable afterwards.

CBSA can ask years after import. The point of the record is that the answer does not depend on whether the person who knew still works there.

Two markets, one product record

Product facts are intrinsic — fibre, construction, wearer, origin. Classification is jurisdiction-specific. The same garment is 6109.10.00 at 18% in Canada and 6109.10 at 16.5% in the United States, where the record does not yet determine which of fifteen statistical subdivisions applies.

Which is the honest answer, and the one the system gives: it names the fifteen rather than choosing one.

Not legal advice

The importer remains responsible for its declarations and should obtain qualified customs or legal review where appropriate.
