Case Studies

3CE clients view their relationship with 3CE as a competitive advantage. As such, we do not disclose our client list… either publicly or privately. Furthermore, due to the sensitive nature of the information used in all aspects of global trade and government oversight, it is our policy to maintain strict confidentiality for all our clients. The 3CE client roster includes a very diverse range of organizations, including: postal agencies that account for half of the world’s mail each day, customs brokers, international logistics service providers, enterprise shippers, global e-commerce companies and government agencies.

3CE is faster, more accurate, and easier to use than any other HS code identification engine. It is the only engine with the unique ability to translate the general name or description of an item into mandatory Customs codes. With a few simple questions, 3CE takes just seconds to produce the accurate HS code and appropriate duty and tariff classifications for any product shipped from anywhere to anywhere. 3CE eliminates not only the high error rates in manual commodity classification, but also substandard commodity reporting and gives your company a distinct competitive advantage. It allows HS Classification experts to be more productive and accurate, and helps those unfamiliar with the complex Harmonized System by bridging the huge gap between how products are described by industry and how they are expressed in Customs tariff schedules worldwide.
