Methodology & release record
Know what is in the answer.
Source coverage is not the same as calculation coverage.
Selected source records checked Sep 7, 2026. This is not a comprehensive legal review or a continuously updated feed.
The evidence register exposes historical schedule intervals, linked documents, missing snapshots, and review gaps. A source link and a passing test are not professional approval.

Corrections and updates
Material rule changes require a source record, implementation review, and regression tests before they enter the calculator. A newly indexed document does not automatically change a rate.
When reporting a discrepancy, include the page address, HTS code, origin, date, expected treatment, and official source. Remove importer identifiers and confidential records.
