About AI product classification
AI product classification analyzes your product category and description and suggests product tax codes, helping you map your products faster and more accurately.
Why use AI product classification
Accurate product tax codes are essential for correct tax calculation. Manually assigning product tax codes can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when you have a large product catalog. The AI product classification tool analyzes your product information and suggests the most appropriate product tax codes based on product descriptions, categories, and industry standards.
- Faster classification
- Get product tax code suggestions in seconds instead of spending time researching codes manually.
- Improved accuracy
- AI suggestions are based on extensive tax code databases and product categorization standards.
- Confidence indicators
- Each suggestion includes a confidence level so you can make informed decisions.
- Alternative options
- Review the other tax code suggestions ranked by relevance to find the best match.
How it works
When you submit a product for classification, the AI evaluates your product description, category, and any additional information you provide. It then returns three tax code suggestions, each with a confidence level that indicates how closely the suggestion matches your product. You can review these suggestions, compare alternatives, and select the product tax code that best fits your product.
| Confidence level | Description |
|---|---|
| High | The AI has strong confidence that this tax code is correct for your product. |
| Medium | The AI has moderate confidence. Review the suggestion thoroughly to confirm it matches your product. |
| Low | The AI has limited confidence. Consider reviewing the alternative suggestions. |
| Very Low | The AI has minimal confidence. You should provide more product details. |
Always review suggested product codes before you map them to your products. A high confidence score doesn't guarantee the code is correct for your product.
