GingerControl
Austin, Texas, United States
What it is
GingerControl is a trade-compliance toolset for researching tariff classifications, calculating duties, reviewing policy, and classifying exports. Its HTS Classification Researcher applies General Rules of Interpretation logic, asks clarifying questions, and returns a report that explains its reasoning. It accepts PDF, JPG, and XLSX uploads. The Tariff Calculator compares duty costs across more than 200 countries of origin and calculates base duty and Chapter 99 surcharges. The Trade Compliance API handles batches of up to 200 products per call and returns classification and tariff data. ERP, TMS, and customs-filing connections are built to each client's systems and workflows. The Export Control Classifier returns an ECCN or EAR99 under the EAR; ITAR and USML decisions are outside its scope. Classification packs cost $10, paid once for 10, $45, paid once for 50, or $80, paid once for 100. GingerControl says its data is encrypted in transit and at rest, is not used to train models, and is not shared with third parties. Its research needs independent licensed customs-broker review before use in customs entry documents.
