AI to classify products for customs compliance is a great use case but 1) requires lots of post training with real world compliance data and 2) by law requires a human in the loop to use the classifications for U.S. Customs.
Flexport offers both with our new AI Classification ur AI to classify a product, we created a built-in workflow to send the classification to a licensed customs broker to review and sign off (or suggest a change).

In the civil war the North invented a repeating rifle that could fire 7 rounds before needing to be reloaded, but they only gave it to their elite cavalry units bc they were afraid they'd waste too much ammunition.
Lincoln used the rifle himself and intervened to ensure it was rolled out to the entire army as soon as they could.
Lesson in there for AI companies trying to push more tokenmaxxing.
