HeraFeri is a free, AI-assisted reference tool designed to help users understand possible ITC(HS) classifications as a starting point for trade research.
By continuing, you confirm that you have read these terms and will verify all results with a licensed professional before any official use.
Upload a product photo. Receive a possible ITC(HS) chapter, an AI suggestion confidence score, and plain-language context — so you know the right questions to ask your CHA before filing anything official.
India's ITC(HS) schedule is a detailed technical document maintained by CBIC and aligned with international Harmonized System conventions. Correct classification at the 8-digit level requires professional judgment — and that is exactly where a licensed CHA or trade consultant belongs in the process.
HeraFeri addresses the step before that conversation. Many first-time exporters and importers approach a CHA without any baseline familiarity with classification. This tool helps you understand the relevant chapter and context before that meeting — not to replace professional advice, but to help you participate in it more effectively.
Most new exporters do not know which ITC(HS) chapter their product falls under — which makes it difficult to begin the compliance process or ask informed questions.
India's ITC(HS) tariff schedule spans thousands of product lines across 98 chapters. Understanding where a product fits requires familiarity with the General Rules of Interpretation and chapter notes.
Export and import policy — Free, Restricted, Prohibited — can change. Monitoring DGFT notifications consistently is a challenge that most first-time exporters are not yet equipped to manage alone.
When an exporter has no baseline knowledge of their product's classification, the verification process takes longer and relies entirely on the professional's judgment without any independent check.
Stated plainly. No overclaims.
Upload a product photo. The tool processes it through 3-gate validation and suggests a possible 2-digit ITC(HS) chapter with an AI suggestion confidence score.
Every result includes a plain-language product description sourced from publicly available reference material — so you understand why that chapter is suggested, not just the number.
Save results on-device only. No server storage, no login, no data sharing. Your classification research stays on your phone, up to 50 items.
Every result displays the exact date and time it was generated — a clear indicator that this is a time-sensitive reference, not a permanent legal determination.
HeraFeri does not: provide official HS classification, generate customs documentation, confirm duty rates, advise on export or import policy status, or substitute for a licensed CHA. All outputs are AI-assisted suggestions only. Verification with a licensed Customs House Agent is required before any official filing.
Trade involves commercially sensitive product information. This is how HeraFeri handles what you upload.
Photos uploaded for classification are processed only to generate a reference result. They are not stored on any server, not used for training, and not shared with any third party.
Your saved classifications remain on your device only. No account is required. No sync to any server occurs. Clearing your browser data removes the history entirely.
HeraFeri does not sell, share, or use uploaded product information for advertising, profiling, or commercial purposes of any kind.
No account is required. No personal information is collected. The platform does not use cookies for tracking or analytics beyond basic session management.
Take or upload a clear photo of the product. A 3-gate validation runs automatically: format and size check, AI content verification, and confidence scoring. Non-product images are rejected with a clear message.
Material composition, primary use, processing state, and origin type — four inputs that give the classification engine context beyond image recognition alone.
The tool returns a possible 2-digit ITC(HS) chapter, an AI suggestion confidence score, the official chapter name, and plain-language context from publicly available reference material. The result is timestamped to indicate when it was generated.

In Indian usage, "heraferi" describes opacity, confusion, and unfair dealing. For many first-time exporters and importers, navigating India's trade compliance system can feel that way — not because the system is broken, but because it was designed for specialists and assumes a baseline of professional knowledge that most new market participants simply do not yet have.
HeraFeri is built on one principle: a person approaching the EXIM system for the first time deserves a clear, honest starting point. Every result on this platform carries an AI confidence score, plain-language context, a timestamp, and a mandatory reminder that professional verification is required. That is not a disclaimer added for legal protection — it is the platform's actual design intent.
This is Phase 1. Phase 2 — expanded ITC(HS) research and reference capabilities — is under development. The platform is in beta and will continue to evolve based on real-world feedback from exporters, importers, and trade professionals.
Summaries of recent notifications and circulars relevant to ITC(HS) classification — verified against official gazette sources before publication.
