Camden, Delaware – Tel Aviv, Israel, May 2, 2023 – eezyimport, a U.S.-Israeli logistics technology company known for the development of online, self-service freight and customs technology solutions for importers, announces today a global industry-first, free text to HTS (harmonized tariff schedule) code AI (artificial intelligence) tool, to easily identify import goods classification codes. BINA (Borderless Import Navigation AI) increases data accuracy and quickly identifies HTS codes to help importers with an intuitive, easy-to-use self-service tool to assist with Customs clearance.

BINA converts free text into an HTS code
The AI tool converts free text into an HTS code and delivers tiered classification data based on suggestion algorithms. Certainty is improved when users enter specific product descriptions, and Machine Learning models are deployed to continuously improve the algorithms.

Providing full 10-digit HTS codes with 80% accuracy
To date, BINA has had success in providing full 10-digit HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) codes in 80% of the searches. With less certainty, an 8-digit number is displayed, and to aid the user, the system will present questions that help the user identify the code with the greatest accuracy.

Goods are classified for customs using HS product classification 6-digit codes used by the U.S. Customs and members of the World Customs Organization (WCO).
The U.S. uses 8-10 digit HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) product classification codes, where the first six digits are an HS code, and the countries of import assign the subsequent digits to provide additional classification.

Future applications- saving tariff costs per product
Future applications of eezy BINA will include calculating and saving tariff costs per product, real-time monitoring for tariff changes, quotas status, and a holistic landing costs recommendation engine.

Effectively process import shipments
“Helping importers of all sizes, but especially smaller importers, gather the necessary HS and HTS code to effectively process import shipments offers an efficient, online, self-service capability to support their businesses success. Small start-up companies, many involved with e-commerce, are looking for this DIY capability to streamline customs clearance processing and easy access to online solutions any time of day. We also see BINA being used in the future to audit the accuracy of Customs clearance data for high-volume processing firms and allowing importers real-time landing cost visibility” said Barak Ben, CEO of eezyimport.

About eezyimport
eezyimport is an online platform that empowers small and medium-sized importers to handle their customs filing requirements easily. The company became the first to offer such an online DIY solution for this segment to further remove obstacles to growth and leave more cash in customers’ pockets, accelerating their success.

eezyCustoms, eezyFreight, and now BINA continue to simplify complex import management processes with innovative, accessible technology that drives greater efficiency.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
