PARA FABRICANTES Y EXPORTADORES

Diseñe pensando en los aranceles antes de que ellos se diseñen solos dentro de sus resultados.

La clasificación empieza en la lista de materiales, no en el puerto. GingerControl ayuda a los equipos de producto y cadena de suministro a ver la exposición arancelaria en la etapa de diseño, para que la decisión de ingeniería y la decisión de landed cost ocurran en la misma sala.

El punto de partida

Para cuando un producto llega al puerto, las decisiones importantes ya se tomaron. La elección de material, el país de origen y la arquitectura del producto deciden bajo qué código HTS cae y qué tasa arancelaria aplica. GingerControl ayuda a los fabricantes a tomar esas decisiones con datos arancelarios en mano, a analizar lo que exportan en busca de controles y a recuperar los aranceles que ya pagaron sobre insumos que vuelven a salir como productos terminados.

Lo que obtiene

Diseñado en torno a cómo trabaja realmente su equipo.

Clasificación a nivel de BOM

Alimente una lista de materiales y vea cómo cada componente se asigna a su código HTS y su arancel.

Verificaciones arancelarias en la etapa de diseño

Un pequeño cambio de especificación puede mover un producto a una clasificación distinta y un arancel distinto. Detéctelos antes de que ingeniería congele el diseño.

Planificación de origen entre plantas

Para fabricantes con plantas en varios países, Parts Library muestra qué origen produce el mejor landed cost para cada mercado.

DE BOM A HTS

La clasificación empieza aguas arriba, no en el puerto.

Procese cada componente en el HTS Classification Researcher y asígnelo a su código HTS, su tasa arancelaria y los programas especiales aplicables. Una mezcla de tejido, un sujetador o un empaque distintos pueden desplazar un producto a una partida más favorable, y Ginger le ayuda a encontrar esas palancas en la etapa de diseño, no después de que un embarque ya haya sido reclasificado en el puerto.

EL LADO DE LA EXPORTACIÓN

Analice lo que envía, recupere lo que pagó.

El Export Control Classifier clasifica su producto por ECCN contra las 10 categorías del CCL y devuelve un ECCN o EAR99, con un informe de investigación obligatorio para su equipo de cumplimiento o su asesor legal. Funciona como flujo web, todavía sin API. Y Duty Drawback recupera hasta el 99% de los aranceles que pagó sobre insumos importados que vuelven a salir del país como exportaciones terminadas, a menudo la mayor recuperación para este perfil.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do we classify HTS codes across a large BOM?

Feed the bill of materials in and classify each component to its HTS code and duty rate in one pass, rather than researching parts one at a time. For a large BOM the exposure hides in the components, and a single wrong code repeated across a product line compounds fast. GingerControl maps each line to its code, duty, and applicable special programs with the GRI reasoning attached, so engineering and compliance finally share the same numbers. We classify the parts; your broker still files the finished-good entries.

How do we reconcile HTS codes across multiple ERPs?

Reconciling codes across several ERPs is handled as a custom integration our services team builds, not a self-serve import. Manufacturers that grew by acquisition often carry the same part under different codes in different systems, which shows up as duty leakage and audit risk. GingerControl scopes a bespoke engagement to pull those catalogs into one consistent classification against a shared methodology. Because it is custom, it starts with discovery and a fixed, milestone-based scope, not an off-the-shelf connector, and we build it rather than file your entries.

How do we handle the annual USITC HTS update process?

Treat the annual USITC HTS revision as a re-check of your catalog against added, modified, and sunset codes, because a subheading you have used for years can change or disappear. GingerControl classifies against a current 20,000-plus code HTS database and our free Trade Policy Digest flags database add, modify, and sunset notifications as they publish, so you see the changes before they hit a shipment. We surface the impact and reclassify; applying the corrected codes at entry stays with your broker, and we do not connect to ACE.

What is the difference between an HTS code and a Schedule B code?

An HTS code classifies goods you import into the U.S., while a Schedule B code classifies goods you export out of it, and the same product can carry a different number on each side. Both build on the 6-digit international HS heading, then diverge at the U.S. level. For a manufacturer that both imports components and exports finished goods, you manage both. GingerControl supports classification from the bill of materials through export; for the export side it also classifies ECCN controls, though that is a web workflow with no API yet.

Should we build or buy HTS classification for our BOMs?

Buy the reasoning engine and keep your team on the judgment calls, unless you have both trade-law depth and engineers to maintain a rules database against constant tariff change. Building in-house means owning GRI logic, CROSS rulings, and every USITC update yourself, which rarely pays off against BOM-scale volume. GingerControl gives you that engine self-serve or by API, with a custom build available when it must live inside your stack. We are builder-not-broker, so buying the tool does not hand us your entry filing or importer-of-record role.

Can we use tariff engineering on imported components?

Yes, tariff engineering means making a deliberate design or sourcing change, a different material blend, fastener, or origin, that lawfully moves a component into a more favorable HTS code, and it works best decided at design time. Once a shipment is reclassified at the port, the cheaper option is already gone. GingerControl lets you compare variants and their duty outcomes at the BOM stage so engineering and landed cost are decided together. We show the levers and the numbers; the sourcing and design decision stays yours, and we are software, not legal counsel.

With capital-goods imports at record levels in 2026, how much does a design-time BOM or origin decision actually move our landed cost?

On Chapter 84 and 85 equipment it can move 15 to 50 points, because the base MFN rate is near zero and almost the entire duty is the Section 232 full-value metals layer plus Section 301, both riding on the classification and origin the BOM fixes. With capital-goods imports at a record $128.0 billion in May 2026 and Section 232 now assessed on the machine's full customs value, that design-time decision moves more landed cost than it used to. GingerControl lets you compare material, fastener, and origin variants and their duty outcomes at the BOM stage, so engineering and landed cost are decided together. We show the levers and the numbers; the sourcing decision stays yours, and we are software, not legal counsel.
