Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting commodity classifications for a shipment that increase the efficiency of clearing the shipment through a customs authority. Such systems and methods may utilize machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy of the predicted classifications.
Abstract: The order entry and visibility system according to the present invention is a combination of network technologies that make it possible for a first user, typically a purchaser, to enter product orders electronically, communicate such to a second user, typically a supplier and provide for the second user to generate completed shipping labels upon fulfillment of at least a portion of the order. The system provides advantages for both the first user, purchaser and second user, supplier. The purchasers of products are provided a means of entering product orders via a network application and have immediate access to order and shipment status via the network application. The supplier of the product accesses the network application to process the order and generate a completed shipping label upon the fulfillment of the order.
