# Origova vs Dutycode: which one fits your store?

_By [Spencer Flaherty](https://origova.com/about), founder of Origova_

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](https://origova.com/shopify-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](https://origova.com/hs-code-automation-large-catalogs)) → 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.
