What this tool does

The Trade Compliance Check produces a compliance signal brief for a user-selected HTS code and country of origin. It pulls together the tariff layers that may apply (Section 301 / 232 / IEEPA and other Chapter 99 measures), anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) watch items, partner-government-agency (PGA) screening signals, and recent policy notices from CBP CSMS and the Federal Register.

It is a screening aid — a fast way to see what to review for a product and origin before you source or file — not a ruling on what actually applies to your goods. Scope, applicability and effective dates are fact-specific and are confirmed by your licensed customs broker or CBP.

Who should use it

Importers and compliance teams who want an early read on the compliance and policy exposure of an HTS + origin combination before sourcing or filing.

What data it checks

Chapter 99 tariff-layer references for the HTS + origin (Section 301 / 232 / IEEPA / other).
Public AD/CVD references and PGA (FDA, USDA, EPA, etc.) screening indicators.
Recent CBP CSMS bulletins and Federal Register notices relevant to the HTS / origin.

How to use it

Select the HTS code and the country of origin.
Review the compliance signal brief: tariff layers, AD/CVD watch items, PGA signals, policy notes.
Use the 'what to review' items as a checklist with your licensed customs broker.
Confirm applicability, effective dates and filing with your broker / CBP before entry.

What the results mean

The tariff layers that may be relevant for the HTS + origin.
AD/CVD watch items and PGA screening signals to review.
Recent, relevant CBP CSMS and Federal Register policy notices.

What this tool does not determine

It surfaces screening signals — it does not determine what applies, is compliant, admissible or exempt for your specific goods.
AD/CVD scope, PGA requirements and Chapter 99 applicability are fact-specific and confirmed by a licensed customs broker / CBP.
It is educational information, not legal advice or a compliance determination.

FAQ

Does this tell me if AD/CVD applies to my product?

No. It flags AD/CVD watch items to review. Whether an order covers your specific goods is fact-specific and must be confirmed with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel.

What are PGA requirements?

Partner Government Agencies (FDA, USDA, EPA, and others) may have their own import requirements. The tool surfaces which agencies could be relevant — confirm actual requirements with your broker.

Does it cover Section 301, 232 and IEEPA tariffs?

It surfaces tariff-layer signals where available, including Section 301, Section 232 and IEEPA-related measures under Chapter 99. Applicability and current status must be verified.

Is this a compliance determination?

No. It is an educational screening brief, not a determination that anything applies, is compliant or admissible.

How current are the policy notices?

The brief references recent CBP CSMS and Federal Register notices, but policy changes quickly — always confirm the current status before you file.
