Shipping system and method with taxonomic tariff harmonization

A method for providing a harmonized classification code for a good based on input comprising:

• storing content including a harmonized tariff classification code module for storing a data structure representing a harmonized classification code tree in a database, the harmonized classification code tree having one or more harmonized classification codes in which the good can be classified,
• associating and storing keyword data related to the good with one of the harmonized classification codes in a keywords module;
• and
• learning keywords from input, for determining a keyword group and a keyword group count from the learned keywords, and associating the learned key words and keyword group count with the one harmonized classification code for the good.
