Review path
Turn broad import risk into a smaller review queue tied to product and origin scope.
- 1Identify the risk signalStart with the source record, affected product, origin, authority, case, date, and likely operational question.
- 2Review the trade file contextKeep product, origin, HTS, authority, case, supplier, and keyword terms together when the same risk keeps appearing.
- 3Review matched exposureUse the review workflow (free with an account) when a matched risk needs full tool output, AD/CVD detail, Chapter 98 processing, or source-backed PDF/CSV export.
Build import risk scopeWhy it matters
Import risk does not live in one database. It moves across tariffs, trade remedies, rulings, hearings, notices, and internal product scope.
How Traverse frames it
Traverse keeps public source detection open and routes repeat import-risk questions into the source-backed review workflow when the work repeats.
Common questions
What import teams usually need to answer.
What is import risk review?
Import risk review connects product, origin, HTS, authority, case, deadline, ruling, tariff, and source-record signals that can affect import decisions.
Why does import risk span multiple source families?
A single product exposure can move through tariffs, trade remedies, rulings, hearings, notices, investigations, and internal sourcing decisions.
When should broad import risk become a source-backed review?
Review the risk when a product, origin, supplier, HTS line, authority, case, or deadline is likely to recur in review work.

What to check before this becomes repeat review.
- 1Identify the product, origin, HTS, authority, case, and source record.

- 3Separate broad policy noise from matched operating exposure.
- 4Connect the signal to sourcing, pricing, filing, or customer review.
- 5Review repeated product, origin, authority, case, and supplier terms.
