For businesses that import goods into the EU
Upload the documents of your shipment. Import8 checks if they are correct, what is still missing and what your supplier must change.
Invoice, packing list and the other papers of one shipment. For each document you see what is wrong and how to fix it.
Describe your product or upload a photo. You get the code and the reason for it.
5 free credits, no credit card needed.
A shipment can get stuck on small things. An invoice without the country of origin, a weight that does not match the packing list, a description that is too vague for customs. You usually find out when the forwarder calls.
Import8 puts your documents side by side, and next to the rules for your products, such as CE marking, GPSR or anti-dumping. You see what is wrong before the goods are shipped.
Example for illustration, not a real shipment.
After the check you get a report with:
You can download the report as a PDF. Your documents are deleted after 24 hours.
Which rules apply to your shipment depends on the HS code of your products. That is why Import8 finds the code first. It does this the same way customs does: with the official classification rules and earlier binding tariff information (EBTI) from the EU.
We tested it on 197 EBTI rulings. The 6-digit code was right in 92% of the cases. Every code comes with the reason, so you can check why.
Not sure yourself? In audit mode Import8 asks you a few questions about your product instead of guessing, and records every answer. More about audit mode

Import8 is new. The document check follows EU rules, so it works for imports into any EU country. Only the language check on safety information assumes Dutch for now. We tested it on real invoices and one complete shipment from a customer. We extend that with every customer who joins. If you see something in your report that is wrong, please let us know. That is where we learn the most. Let us know
You pay per credit, there is no subscription. Credits you buy stay valid for 12 months.
Want this in your own system? There is an API. You send a product or the documents of a shipment and get the same report back as in the dashboard. The documentation is in API Docs.
For the HS code, Import8 works from top to bottom, the way customs does: first the General Rules for the Interpretation, then the chapter notes, then rules we derived from earlier EU rulings (EBTI). For documents, Import8 checks what must be on them under customs law, whether the documents match each other and which product rules go with the HS codes.
Import8 uses AI, and AI is sometimes wrong. That is why every code and every finding comes with the reason, so you can check it. You decide which code you declare and what you do with the report. In audit mode you record every step in a PDF. If you are unsure, ask a customs broker.
What Import8 gives you is help with your preparation, not legal or customs advice. That goes for the HS code and for the check report of your documents. As the importer you remain responsible for your declaration. Customs decides on the classification. A binding tariff information (BTI) from customs always takes precedence.
