not days, from photo to report
Who it's for
Designed for every trade professional
Importers
Duty, licences and approvals known before the order ships.
Exporters
The right code on the Shipping Bill, and RoDTEP and drawback pointers.
CHAs and forwarders
A reasoned second opinion on every tricky classification.
Manufacturers and sourcing
Classify parts and new products before you cost them.
Why it matters
A wrong HS code costs more than duty
EximSetu checks it all from one product photo, before the goods ship.
How it works
From photo to report in three steps
Snap or upload
Take a photo of the product or describe it in a line. English, Hindi or Hinglish.
Answer 2–4 questions
Like a senior CHA, it asks only what changes the classification: material, use, specs.

Questions
Is the HS code guaranteed?
No. It's an expert-level suggestion with reasoning you can check. For certainty, confirm with your customs broker or apply for an Advance Ruling (CAAR).
Where do the duty rates come from?
The assistant searches official Indian government sources (CBIC, DGFT, ICEGATE and others) and tells you what it confirmed there and what is from general knowledge.
What counts as one report?
One product. Clarifying questions and follow-ups about that same product are included.
Do I get a GST invoice?
Yes. Every payment gets a GST tax invoice from Matvextrade. Add your GSTIN at checkout to claim input tax credit.
What does the Checklist Approval Check do?
Before you approve the checklist your CHA sends (Bill of Entry or Shipping Bill), upload it with the supplier invoice (plus packing list or BL if you have them). EximSetu re-checks the HS code of every item, the values, totals, currency and exchange rate, IEC and GSTIN, weights and packages, FTA claims, licences and anti-dumping duty. You get a 🔴 fix / 🟡 verify / 🟢 OK report with the ₹ impact and a ready message to send to your CHA or client.
