The International Housewares Association (IHA) is collaborating with Quickcode, developer of an AI-powered trade compliance management platform, to give IHA members access to new tools to help them stay current on rapidly changing tariffs and trade regulations and rulings.
The partnership offers discounted pricing for IHA members to access Quickcode’s AI-powered platform.
The Quickcode platform is a unique trade compliance tool with Explainable AI, bringing all the legal sources for classifications to a single pane, according to Quickcode. The platform is designed to make it easy to classify new products with full access to the HTS schedule, CROSS rulings, WCO notes and more in one place.
As regulations and tariffs are constantly updated, Quickcode automatically adjusts compliance data and alerts users when manual intervention is needed, according to the company. Quickcode recently added new features designed to help businesses navigate evolving IEEPA and Section 301 tariffs and other trade regulations.
“As the global tariff landscape continues to evolve, IHA is closely monitoring the situation and helping inform members and retailers as new policies are announced and implemented,” said IHA President & CEO Derek Miller. “Our new collaboration with Quickcode allows our members to save time and more confidently manage their product catalogs.”
“Importers are being asked to navigate a level of regulatory change they’ve never faced before. With the volatility around new reciprocal tariffs and the end of China De Minimis, even long-standing processes are being upended,” said Shannon Hynds, CEO of Quickcode. “At Quickcode, we understand how disruptive this is — not just operationally, but strategically. That’s why we built a platform that keeps up with changes in real time, guiding importers through new rules with clarity and precision. We’re proud to support IHA members with tools that turn uncertainty into action.”
The collaboration with Quickcode is one way IHA helps members navigate the latest developments in tariffs and trade. Last month, IHA held a webinar with updates from the association’s Washington D.C.-based government affairs office and freight logistics service provider, TQL. The next tariff-related webinar, dedicated to answering questions from members and retailers, will be held on April 23.
IHA also collaborated with Details Matter, Peters LLC, a specialist in digital advocacy campaigns, to set up a web page through which U.S. housewares suppliers can reach congressional representatives about tariff concerns through the VoterVoice platform. This portal offers a streamlined system for companies to direct concerns to their elected representatives using a letter prepared by IHA on behalf of its members.
