Trade Compliance & HSN Classification Specialist

Triage AI is building AI-powered operations software for importers, exporters, and global trade teams.
We are building systems that help companies automate trade compliance, shipment operations, document checking, customs workflows, tariff analysis, and exception management.
We are looking for someone with hands-on experience in HSN/HS classification, customs compliance, import/export regulations, and tariff analysis to work closely with our product and engineering teams.
This is not a traditional documentation role. You will help us translate real-world trade compliance workflows into software and AI products.

You will help us understand and automate workflows including:
HSN / HS code classification of products
Interpretation of product descriptions, specifications, composition, and end use for classification
Customs duty calculations
Basic Customs Duty, IGST, SWS and other applicable duties
Anti-Dumping Duty, Safeguard Duty and other trade-remedy measures
Customs exemption notifications and concessional duty structures
Country-specific tariff classification and trade requirements
Import and export restrictions
Bill of Entry and Shipping Bill classification checks
ICEGATE and customs-related workflows
Identifying incorrect or risky HS classifications
Maintaining HSN / product classification masters
Reviewing CHA/customs broker classifications
Responding to classification-related customs queries
Historical import/export data and port-level trade analysis
Responsibilities
You will:
Act as the internal domain expert for HSN/HS classification and customs compliance.
Classify products using the Customs Tariff, Section Notes, Chapter Notes, GIR rules and relevant notifications.
Review product documentation including technical datasheets, invoices, catalogues, composition and end-use information.
Determine applicable customs duties and identify additional duties such as anti-dumping duties.
Research customs notifications, DGFT regulations and tariff changes.
Review Bills of Entry and other customs documentation for classification and duty accuracy.
Work with importers, exporters, CHAs and logistics teams to understand real-world compliance workflows.
Help identify opportunities where AI can automate repetitive trade-compliance work.
Create decision trees, classification rules and datasets that can be used to train and evaluate our AI systems.
Work directly with our founders, product managers and engineers to build trade-compliance products.
Test AI-generated HSN classifications and identify errors, edge cases and compliance risks.
