Preserve assumptions and sources before asking for review.

Start with the product facts

For Textile import scenario requiring Section 301 review, collect the product description, materials, use, photos, supplier quote, origin evidence, valuation basis, freight, insurance, and the best HTS candidate before modeling cost.

Keep each tariff layer separate

Do not collapse textile HTS classification, Chapter 99, and Section 301 exclusions into a single blended rate. Keep base duty, additional tariffs, AD/CVD, quotas, safeguards, preference programs, and uncertainty notes as separate fields.

Broker review questions

Ask whether the HTS candidate is correct, whether any Chapter 99 instruction applies, whether exclusions or trade remedies change the result, and what documents should be kept before entry.
