1. A system for enabling the export of products from a jurisdiction, the system comprising:
one or more electronic sensors coupled to an electronic user device, the one or more electronic sensors being configured to obtain information concerning a product to-be-shipped from a jurisdiction via a shipping vehicle, wherein the electronic user device upon a user action forms a request to export the product-to-be-shipped, the product-to-be-shipped requiring export code assignment before the shipping vehicle leaves the jurisdiction;
an electronic database that stores an electronic model, the electronic model comprising a data structure defining a configuration of export codes for products and probabilities that the one or more export codes are accurate, the data structure comprising a structure having a plurality of branches and leaves, the electronic database further storing classified product information, the classified product information comprising, for each product, at least one of a product identifier and an attribute for the product;
a control circuit, the control circuit being coupled to the database, the control circuit configured to:
contact an external server hosting a web page;
download the web page from the external server and store the web page in the electronic database;
obtain export codes for selected products not presently represented in the electronic model according to machine learning approaches using the information from the web page and export codes obtained from a regulatory source of a jurisdiction;
in a training process, train the electronic model to modify a structure of the electronic model based upon the classified product information from the database, the information from the web page, and the export codes, wherein one or more of the branches or leaves of the structure of the electronic model are modified by the training process;
wherein the control circuit is coupled to the one or more electronic sensors and the electronic database, the control circuit configured to:
receive the request;
based upon an analysis of the information concerning the product-to-be-shipped, utilize the electronic model to obtain one or more potential export codes for the product-to-be-shipped and an associated probability;
when the associated probability relating to one of the potential export codes is greater than a predetermined threshold, select the one potential export code;
when the associated probabilities of all the potential export codes are less than a threshold, then select one of the potential export codes based upon a predetermined criteria;
transmit the selected export code to an electronic processing device of the regulatory source via an electronic communication network.
