How BridgePass works & how far to trust it

Where codes come from

Every code is resolved against the live HMRC Trade Tariff and re-checked daily, so results reflect current UK commodity data rather than a stale snapshot.

What the AI does and its limits

BridgePass uses AI to narrow your description to a tariff chapter, then matches it to real HMRC commodities. The result is guidance, not a binding ruling, and can be wrong on ambiguous or novel goods. You remain responsible for the code you declare.

If a code looks wrong

Use the thumbs up / thumbs down on any result. Flagged classifications are reviewed and corrected, and those corrections improve future results.

For legal certainty

If you need a legally binding decision — for high-value or high-volume goods, for example — you can apply for a free HMRC Advance Tariff Ruling.
