Partial The interface and LLM-based classification flow are straightforward to vibe-code, and the USITC HTS and EU TARIC schedules are public. Getting classifications right, though, depends on curated binding rulings and expert-verified mappings, and duty data must stay current.
What it would actually take: Build a search and reasoning layer over the official U.S. HTS and EU TARIC datasets, with an LLM that proposes codes and cites General Rulings and CBP classification decisions. The hard part is validation: a corpus of expert-labeled product-to-code pairs and a process for tracking annual tariff changes. That requires customs brokerage or trade-compliance expertise, not just engineering.
