You paid $80 for the thing and $120 to import it — TariffGhost fixes that second number, or at least warns you
TariffGhost is a landed-cost calculator and HS code classification engine for micro-importers, indie product founders, and small e-commerce brands who are constantly getting blindsided by customs duties, brokerage fees, and Section 301 tariffs they didn't know existed. You paste in a product description or upload a supplier invoice and it spits out a probable HS code, applicable duty rates by destination country, and a full landed-cost breakdown before you place the order. It's not magic — it's just knowing what the big importers already know, and now you know it too.
- Paste a product description or upload a supplier invoice and get a classified HS code in seconds
- Covers duty rate data across 94 destination countries with quarterly schedule updates baked in
- Integrates directly with Flexport, Shopify, and TariffSync for end-to-end order costing
- Full Section 301, 232, and 201 tariff overlay on every calculation — no more surprise surcharges at clearance
- Landed-cost breakdown exports to PDF, CSV, or straight into your freight forwarder's inbox. One click.

TariffGhost is built on a microservices backbone — classification, duty resolution, and cost assembly each run as isolated services behind an internal API gateway, so nothing bleeds into anything else. Duty rate schedules and HS code trees are stored in MongoDB because the document model maps cleanly to the hierarchical chapter/heading/subheading structure of the Harmonized System. Redis handles long-term user session state and saved product profiles, giving sub-10ms lookups on repeat costing runs. The invoice parser runs as a standalone Python service using a fine-tuned extraction pipeline I built over about eight months of real supplier invoices.
