BDP International (BDP, a member of the PSA Group), a leading provider of globally integrated supply chain, transportation and logistics solutions, has announced the launch of Smart Classify, a digital workflow application to support the ever-evolving needs of shippers’ trade compliance programs and their product classifications.

Smart Classify was developed by in-house BDP technology specialists in collaboration with CrimsonLogic, a PSA International (PSA) subsidiary. It enables users to instantly connect with BDP’s compliance experts for HTN classification or validation, minimizing risks associated with improper classification that can lead to costly errors and fines. Additionally, Smart Classify delivers a streamlined view of current shipment status, on-demand reporting capabilities, historical classifications, and product information to serve as a central data repository for auditing purposes. Smart Classify simplifies a complex classification process while providing increased data consistency, comprehensive stakeholder views, and reduced cycle times throughout.

It taps on CALISTA™, PSA’s end-to-end supply chain platform, and leverages proprietary machine learning technology from CALISTA Intelligent Advisory (CIA), a digital trade compliance advisory product, to present the most accurate details and information on a vast array of products, every time.

App highlights include:

• HTN code validation

• ECCN classification

• In-app communication log & document sharing

• Metrics for trending & analysis

• Interactive dashboard view of data elements
