Who it’s for
For the people who answer “what is this part?”
Wherever an automotive part crosses a border, someone has to document its classification. AutoRulingDB gives them precedent to start from.
Importers of record
Standardize classification decisions
- Align classification across SKUs, suppliers and entry ports
- Record your rationale next to the ruling it relies on
- Follow the entries that affect your product lines
Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers
Components and assemblies, consistently
- Classify across Chapter 87 and the adjacent headings parts fall under
- Share one reference between plants, brokers and suppliers
- Add supplier- and program-specific notes privately
Aftermarket distributors
Large catalogs, repeatable work
- Import part lists from the spreadsheets you already keep
- Match items to rulings, flag the ones to review, export the outcome
- Use bulk actions to work through a catalog quickly
Trade compliance consultants
A reference you can rely on
- Search the library the way an auditor would ask the question
- Keep client-specific flags and keywords separate and searchable
- Print or export entries for the working file
Compliance and audit teams
Documentation that stands up
- Retain the ruling, the analysis and your own notes together
- Export lists to Excel for review and sign-off
- Work from a consistent source across the team
A note on use
Precedent informs the decision. You make it.
Rulings are issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and apply to the specific merchandise described in them. AutoRulingDB’s screening, analysis and opinion are a reference to support your own review — not a substitute for it.
Bring precedent into your classification process.
