Origova vs Dutycode: which one fits your store?
Origova and Dutycode live in the same lane — both help Shopify merchants get customs-ready product data without doing it variant by variant — but they attack different halves of the problem. Dutycode is a classification engine: it uses AI to generate region-specific codes (6-digit HS, US HTS, EU CN8, UK commodity codes) from your product information. Origova is a catalog auditor and bulk fixer: it finds every variant missing an HS code, country of origin, or weight — plus malformed codes already in place — and lets you fix them in bulk, reversibly, with a broker-ready CSV at the end. One is deepest at generating codes; the other is deepest at finding and fixing everything.

Choose Origova if…
- Your starting problem is "I don't know what's missing" — you need the audit before anything else.
- Your gaps go beyond codes: missing origins, weights, materials — the fields carriers reject parcels over.
- You want reversible bulk fixes written straight back to Shopify, and a CSV your broker can use.
Choose Dutycode if…
- Your catalog data is otherwise complete and the specific job is generating classification codes at scale.
- You ship lanes that want region-specific formats (EU CN8, UK commodity, 10-digit US HTS) beyond the 6-digit standard.
Honestly? They compose.
Audit with Origova to get the definitive gap list → generate candidate codes for the gaps with an AI classifier or your broker → sanity-check the judgment calls yourself (here's the large-catalog workflow) → bulk-apply and export with Origova. The two tools disagree about almost nothing; they just start at different ends of the same pipeline.
Frequently asked questions
Are Origova and Dutycode competitors?
They overlap — both serve Shopify merchants fixing customs data — but their centers of gravity differ. Dutycode specializes in AI-generating classification codes, including region-specific formats. Origova specializes in auditing the whole catalog for every missing or malformed customs field and bulk-fixing reversibly. Many stores would use them at different stages of the same cleanup.
Does Origova generate HS codes with AI like Dutycode does?
Origova validates code format, flags missing and malformed codes, and bulk-applies the codes you choose — it deliberately leaves the classification decision with you, since it's legally the importer's call. If you want AI-generated candidate codes at scale, a classifier like Dutycode or your broker's advice slots into Origova's workflow between the audit and the bulk fix.
Which is cheaper, Origova or Dutycode?
Origova's pricing is public: the scan is free at any size, 30 fixes are free, and paid plans are $7.99/month (1,000 fixes) or $14.99/month (unlimited). Dutycode's pricing wasn't published in a directly comparable format as of August 2026 — check their site for current numbers.
