GingerControl
Also known as: Ginger, Gingercontrol
AI trade compliance infrastructure whose HTS classification researcher applies GRI legal reasoning and clarifying questions to produce audit ready classifications, tariff calculations, and policy alerts.
GingerControl is AI powered trade compliance infrastructure for importers, exporters, and customs brokers. Its HTS Classification Researcher encodes the legal reasoning framework brokers follow, applying GRI logic, Section and Chapter Notes, and CROSS rulings, and it surfaces multiple candidate headings then asks clarifying questions before converging on a code, returning an audit ready report with the full reasoning chain and confidence scores rather than a bare guess. A Tariff Calculator computes the full U.S. duty stack including Section 301, 232, and 122 and Chapter 99, with split code support for composite products. Compliance Radar, in private beta, cross references Federal Register, CSMS, USTR, and CBP ruling changes against a user's actual product catalog, and a Product Sandbox models sourcing scenarios. Tools are available self serve through a free entry point at the Live AI Compliance Hub or programmatically via an OpenAPI, and the company also builds custom in house compliance systems. It positions itself as a research aid that documents reasonable care, not a replacement for a licensed customs broker.

Pricing
Free tier (Compliance Hub); API request based tiers, prices not public
Free self serve hub, request based API tiers by daily classification volume, and quoted custom builds.
Cost watchouts
High volume API classification and custom in house system builds can raise total cost well beyond the free hub.
Variable cost rationale
API pricing is request based across daily volume tiers, so cost scales with classification throughput; a free hub covers light manual use.
Sales call required
No — self-serve available
Free / trial
Free entry point at the Live AI Compliance Hub.
Lowest paid plan
Not publicly listed; API is request based (1,000 to 100,000+ classifications per day).
Key ambiguities
Exact API tier prices are not published; Compliance Radar is in private beta. The company also sells custom system builds and consulting, quoted separately.
