ImportHelm

ImportHelm is an all-in-one customs and import toolkit for the people who bring goods into the United States. It is built for importers, e-commerce sellers, sourcing teams, and the compliance staff who keep them on the right side of CBP. Whether you are checking a duty rate on the warehouse floor, prepping a refund packet, or figuring out the cheapest country to source from, ImportHelm puts the tools you need in one app, without the spreadsheet juggling. KEY FEATURES Camera Classify Snap a product photo. ImportHelm reads the components and suggests an HTS chapter, heading, and full code with a confidence score. Tap to compare duty across sourcing countries. Duty Calculator General rate plus Section 301 list tiers, Section 232 steel, aluminum, and copper, Section 232 autos, and the Section 122 baseline. Specific rates per kilogram or per unit. MPF and HMF. Drawback eligibility and the five year window check. Refund Finder Load your recent CBP entries. ImportHelm scans for missed FTA preference, Section 301 exclusions, CAPE and IEEPA refunds, HTS reclassifications, and First Sale candidates. Export a PSC CSV, a CAPE CSV, or a broker packet PDF. Helm Bot A tool aware assistant that knows every tool in the app. Ask a real customs question, get a clear answer plus a one tap shortcut to the right calculator. Container Planner Packing optimization with cube fill, weight limits, stackability hints, and a PDF for the factory. FTA Qualifier USMCA, KORUS, and more agreements. Run a product through the de minimis, regional value content, and tariff shift tests. Compliance Score A self assessment across CBP focus areas, with a benchmark against your import volume. HTS Lookup The full USITC HTS schedule. Search by code, description, or a "did you mean" suggestion. Every entry carries its Section 301 list, Section 232 metal flags, and specific rates. Tariff Engineering Given an HTS code, ImportHelm suggests product changes that may shift classification into a lower duty heading, cited against CBP rulings. CAPE Pre-Audit Validate entries for the CBP CAPE refund program and export a CBP ready CSV. ImportHelm checks your file before you upload. You file with CBP yourself. It is a pre-submission validator, not a filing agent. PLUS A FULL TOOLKIT ISF Tracker, Bond Sufficiency Calculator, Cost Allocator, AD/CVD Checker, Demurrage Tracker, Trade Lanes, Currency Tracker, Document OCR, Tariff Watch, Profit Margin Analyzer, and more. TESTED MATH The math layer is checked against a regression suite pinned to current Federal Register proclamations, the USITC rate schedule, and CBP COBRA fees. It is updated as tariffs change. PRIVACY Your import records, calculator inputs, and chat history stay on your device. No account or login is required. Photos and questions you send to the AI features go to our servers to return an answer and are not used to train AI models. The app sends crash and performance reports to Sentry, tied to an anonymous device ID, so we can find and fix bugs. No ads. No data sold. No tracking across other apps. ImportHelm also reads CBP public sanctions lists and the Federal Register feed. A pre-flight check, not a filing tool. ImportHelm helps you prepare what you will file at CBP. It does not file on your behalf. Always confirm submissions with your licensed customs broker. Built by SVLTMK LLC.
