We built Tariflo because AI chatbots hallucinate HS codes
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I’m the founder of Thinkrium, and I wanted to share the story behind Tariflo & why we built it.
Global trade runs on HS codes. Every product crossing borders must be classified correctly. If you get it wrong, shipments can be delayed, fined, or even seized. Today, businesses solve this problem in one of three ways:
Hire expensive consultants
Manually search massive tariff schedules
• Or increasingly ask AI chatbots like ChatGPT
The problem? General AI chatbots were never designed for trade compliance. They can hallucinate HS codes, don’t provide confidence scores, don’t understand regulatory requirements, and offer no audit trail. That creates real operational risk.
What makes Tariflo different
We built Tariflo as a purpose-built AI system specifically for trade classification and compliance.
Tariflo delivers three layers of intelligence:
1. Structured HS classification
Not just a code , but full chapter, heading, and subheading breakdown with confidence score.
2. Automatic regulatory alerts
Instantly flags risk level and tells you required documents like veterinary certificates, permits, or compliance requirements.
3. Compliance intelligence (country-specific)
Shows export/import authorities, document priority, clearance risk assessment, and processing requirements.
This is not a chatbot. It’s a structured, auditable compliance system. Every classification is logged, traceable, & exportable, critical for trade & compliance teams.
What we’ve launched so far
Tariflo is now live with:
• AI HS code classification with confidence scoring
• Regulatory risk alerts across regulated product categories
• Country-specific compliance guidance
• Full classification history and audit trail
• Free tier + paid plans for deeper compliance intelligence

Why we built Thinkrium
Tariflo is the first product from Thinkrium, a platform focused on building AI tools that solve real operational problems, not just generate text.
Our goal is simple: To help businesses move faster, operate safer, and make decisions with confidence.
I would love feedback from this community:
• What is your biggest pain point in trade or compliance?
• Have you tried using AI chatbots for HS classification?
• What would make this indispensable for your workflow?
Happy to answer any technical questions.
Thanks for reading 🙏
