1. Problem1. 要解决的问题

Small cross-border sellers often guess customs classification codes. Wrong codes cause parcels to be held, unexpected duties for buyers and refunds for sellers. Customs brokers are too expensive for low-value parcels, and rule changes in major markets have made the problem more frequent.中小跨境卖家常常凭感觉填写海关商品编码。编码错误会导致包裹被扣、买家被收取意外关税、卖家被迫退款。报关行对低货值包裹来说太贵，而主要市场的规则变化让这个问题越来越频繁。

2. Solution2. 解决方案

Paste a product listing or photo → TariffLens suggests a classification code with its reasoning and a confidence level, estimates duty and VAT for the US, EU and UK, and exports the data for a commercial invoice. Low-confidence items are flagged "ask a licensed broker" rather than guessed.粘贴商品详情或上传图片 → TariffLens 给出建议的商品编码、判断理由与置信度，预估美国、欧盟、英国的关税与增值税，并导出商业发票所需数据。低置信度的商品会被标注“请咨询持牌报关行”，而不是硬猜。

3. Market & competition3. 市场与竞争

Investor's view: a large number of small sellers ship cross-border, and recent rule changes increased the need for correct paperwork. Willingness to pay is unproven (no pricing yet), and accuracy carries liability risk, so the key diligence items are accuracy against a broker baseline and how disclaimers and human escalation work.投资人视角：大量中小卖家在做跨境发货，近期的规则变化提高了对单证准确性的需求。付费意愿尚未验证（还没有定价），而准确率又牵涉责任风险，因此尽调重点是：与报关行基准相比的准确率，以及免责声明与人工兜底机制如何运作。

4. Traction & verification status4. 数据表现与核验状态

Every metric carries a status. “Founder-reported” means ProofMarket has not seen evidence yet — treat it as a claim to check.每项指标都标有状态。“创始人自报”表示 ProofMarket 尚未看到证据——请把它视为待核实的说法。

5. Team5. 团队

Founder A — eight years as a customs-compliance specialist at a freight forwarder. Founder B — machine-learning engineer, currently part-time and planning to go full-time. Identities confirmed by video call. Names are shared only after investor review and an agreed intro.创始人 A——在货代公司做了八年海关合规专员。创始人 B——机器学习工程师，目前兼职，计划转为全职。身份已通过视频通话确认。姓名仅在投资人通过审核、且双方同意引荐后提供。

6. What the founder is looking for6. 创始人在寻找什么

The founder is seeking introductions to reviewed investors, for an indicative range of $50k – $150k to cover about 12 months. Planned use of funds:创始人希望对接经审核的投资人，资金需求参考区间为 5 万 – 15 万美元，计划覆盖约 12 个月。资金计划用途：

This is a founder seeking intros, not an offer. No price, valuation, share of the company or other terms are published or negotiated on ProofMarket; any discussion happens directly between investor and founder, offline, with their own advisers.这只是创始人寻求引荐，不构成要约。ProofMarket 不公布、也不撮合任何价格、估值、股权比例或其他条款；任何讨论均由投资人与创始人在线下、在各自顾问协助下直接进行。
