How does the Classification Audit feature work?

The Classification Audit feature is designed for scenarios where you have an existing list of products with HTS codes - typically provided by a client - and you want to verify whether those classifications are correct.

How to run a Classification Audit:

1. Upload your product list via Upload Products. Include the existing HS codes in your file.
2. Once uploaded, from the product list view, click Classification Audit at the top of the products table.
3. Confirm Country of destination by selecting it from the drop-down list (or leave the pre-selected by default). 
4. The system will classify each product independently and compare its result to the classification you provided.
5. For each product, the audit returns:

• Gaia's suggested classification and confidence level
• Suggested action: one of three outcomes:
  • Proceed - The existing classification matches Gaia's recommendation with high confidence. No change needed.
  • Switch to Gaia's suggested classification - Gaia is confident the existing code is incorrect and recommends an alternative.
  • Manual Review - The input description is too vague for a high-confidence result; human review is advised.
• Enhanced product description - A Gaia optimized classification-ready description used by the system to improve the classification results.
• Discrepancy analysis - A detailed breakdown showing where the existing code and Gaia's code agree (e.g., agree at 8-digit level) and where they diverge (e.g., differ at 10-digit level), with an explanation of the meaningful distinction.
• Full classification reasoning and relevant customs rulings

6. For each product, click the pencil icon to make a final determination: accept the original code, adopt Gaia's recommendation, or enter a new code manually.

Tip: If you are processing a large list for the first time, contact your support representative. The team can assist with the initial upload and help ensure the process runs efficiently.
