HTS and origin duty check
Use this when the first question is the duty stack for a specific HTS line, origin, entered value, and fee assumption.

Additional duties and exclusions
Use this when the rate depends on Section 301, exclusions, trade remedies, special programs, or source records that can change the final duty answer.

Review path
Turn a one-time duty estimate into a repeat scenario when the same exposure repeats.
- 1Run the public calculationStart with HTS, origin, entered value, and fee assumptions so the rate question is tied to the actual import scenario.
- 2Review the repeat scenarioKeep the HTS line, origin, supplier or product family, entered-value pattern, and additional duty assumptions together when the same quote or shipment question recurs.
- 3Review when assumptions changeUse the review workflow (free with an account) when a notice, exclusion, remedy case, ruling, or effective date means the duty review scenario needs full tool output, AD/CVD detail, Chapter 98 processing, or PDF/CSV export.
Review duty scenarioWhy it matters
Duty calculation is rarely just one rate. Import teams often need the base rate, special duty layers, fees, exclusions, AD/CVD signals, and origin posture in the same review.
How Traverse frames it
Traverse keeps the public duty check connected to source-backed policy records, so a calculation can become review work when the same exposure keeps coming back.
Common questions
What import teams usually need to answer.
What does an import duty calculator need besides an HTS code?
A useful duty check also needs origin, entered value, fee assumptions, special duty layers, exclusions, and any remedy flags that can affect the landed-cost answer.
Why connect a duty calculator to policy source records?
The calculation can change when an agency notice, proclamation, exclusion update, ruling, or remedy case changes the source layer behind the duty answer.
When should a duty scenario become a source-backed review?
Review the scenario when the same HTS line, origin, supplier, product, or customer quote keeps coming back and needs repeat review rather than a one-time lookup.
Review checklist
What to check before this becomes repeat review.
- 1Enter the HTS line, origin, and entered value.
- 2Separate base duty from additional duty layers.
- 3Check CBP fees and any special program assumptions.
- 4Review exclusions, remedies, and source records that may change the result.
- 5Review repeated duty scenarios for follow-up review.

The Trump Administration declined to extend USMCA in its current form in July 2026 and is pursuing bilateral negotiations with Mexico, potentially targeting an interim arrangement by end-2026. U.S. tariffs on Mexican imports remain in effect, creating economic uncertainty for North American businesses while Congress evaluates whether USMCA revisions require legislative approval.
