Dependable Commodity Classification Results

Against this backdrop, CTP consistently delivers fast, accurate commodity classifications at reasonable rates. We are equally adept with physical products, software, technologies, and services on both the USML and the CCL. Our project sizes range from highly specialized to bulk tasks with tens of thousands of items.
