Track exclusion windowsWhy it matters
Exclusion work is time-sensitive. A window, renewal, expiration, or revocation can change the duty answer for products that looked stable yesterday.
How Traverse frames it
Traverse keeps exclusion signals beside the affected HTS and origin context so the same product line can be reviewed when the source trail changes.
