About border.bot

border.bot is a classification and duty-calculation service for merchants who ship parcels abroad. It gives you the HS code and the landed cost of a product, with the reasoning behind each answer, through a web dashboard, a REST API and an MCP server for AI assistants.

Why it exists

Every parcel that crosses a border needs a tariff code, a country of origin and, if you want to avoid surprise charges on delivery, an accurate estimate of the duty and tax. Getting any of them wrong delays parcels, triggers penalties or leaves the customer with a bill they refuse to pay.

Most shops either pay a broker for each question or copy codes from a spreadsheet that drifts out of date. border.bot answers those questions directly and shows how it reached each answer. Operations teams use the dashboard, developers call the API from checkout and catalogue systems, and anyone using Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or another MCP client can connect the MCP server.

What you can expect

Answers you can check: Every classification shows the official description at each level of the code, the reasoning, a confidence score and the alternatives that were considered.
Fixed prices per action: You buy credits up front. Each action has a fixed credit cost shown on the pricing page and in the dashboard, and credits for a failed call are refunded automatically.
The same answer everywhere: The dashboard, the API, the MCP server and the free tools use the same engine and the same tariff data.
Clear limits: Results are guidance, not a binding ruling. Low-confidence results are flagged for review, and for high-value or regulated goods we recommend a licensed broker or a binding ruling from customs.
