Spare parts, sub-assemblies, machines, motors, seals: CrossbordIA reads the section and chapter notes before every choice, applies the GIRs in order and asks you the missing technical question (head, power, construction) instead of guessing. For the EU, the United Kingdom, the United States, Norway and Canada.

📋 File check before launch
A screw intended for your pump is still a screw (7318), and an O-ring is still an article of rubber (4016): the notes to Section XVI exclude parts of general use. A pump casing, on the other hand, follows the pump (8413.91).
“GMP-75 casing rev. C” means something to your workshop, not to customs. The reference and the trade name are never used to classify: only the description and the declared attributes count.
Hexagon head or hexagon socket, close-coupled or not, power above or below 7.5 kW: the subheading often depends on a detail missing from the product sheet.
Beyond the first 6 digits, each country has its own subdivisions: the same O-ring is classified differently in the United States depending on whether or not it is fitted to a vehicle. Incorrect classification exposes you to reassessments and penalties.

Sector features
From metals (Section XV) to machinery and electrical equipment (Section XVI), every choice rests on a text quoted word for word.
When the description does not settle a choice between two subheadings (close-coupled or not, hexagon head or hexagon socket), the engine stops and asks THE question, with the text that prompts it and the codes at stake. Your answer resumes the classification at the level where it stopped.
TARGETED QUESTIONSImport your list of components in Excel or CSV. Each line is classified individually from its description and attributes; duplicates within the batch are classified once.
EXCEL · CSVStainless steel, aluminium, bronze, cast iron: for an “of <material>” subheading, the metal that predominates by weight is read from the composition you declare. The photo never establishes the material.
SECTION XV“VX range screws have hexagon heads”, “GMP pumps are close-coupled”: remember a fact for similar items, for all destinations or just one. An instruction never sets a code, and declared data always prevails.
PERMANENT INSTRUCTIONSThe notes to Sections XV and XVI and to Chapters 84 and 85 are read before the heading is chosen and cited in the supporting document. A part of general use does not end up as a “machine part”.
SECTION AND CHAPTER NOTESBefore launch, with no AI and no credit: number of lines, missing descriptions, duplicate references, empty compositions, unmapped required columns.
FREEA question rather than a guessed code
When the description does not settle a choice between two subheadings, CrossbordIA stops at the last established level and asks a precise question, quoting the wording that prompts it. Your answer resumes the classification at that level without replaying the rest; and you can undo an answer.
This way you avoid default classifications in “other” headings: every digit of the code rests on a fact.

HS chapters covered
Metals, machinery, electrical equipment, plastics and rubbers: the section and chapter notes are read before every choice and cited in the supporting document.
Cast iron, steel, aluminium, copper: bars, sheets, tubes, wire, and articles thereof (screws and bolts, springs, chains, structures). The predominant metal is read from the declared composition.
Pumps, compressors, machine tools, conveyors, lifting and handling equipment, and parts thereof.
Motors, generators, transformers, switching apparatus, cables and control equipment.
Chemicals, plastics, technical rubbers, lubricants and adhesives for industry.
Use case
Illustrative example: an equipment manufacturer exports its parts to the EU, the United States and the United Kingdom. Its designations are written for the workshop, not for customs.
Reference, designation, material, weight: the file is imported, you map the columns, and the free check flags incomplete lines.
Each component is classified; the engine stops on a precise question when a decisive fact is missing.
Processing runs in the background
Identical questions are grouped. Your customs manager answers once and can remember the answer for the whole range.
An Excel export with one line per country, and a PDF supporting document per final code, ready to present in the event of an inspection.
