International Trade Screening

Every trade action lands at 12:01 a.m. Most importers learn what it cost them weeks later.

Axiom System Research screens published trade actions against public trade records and returns company-specific findings — which shipments an action reaches, which it does not, and which questions the public record cannot answer.

Tariff actions publish as dense annexes running to dozens of pages of ten-digit lines. Mapping one onto a single company's shipments is slow manual work, which is why company-specific answers usually arrive after the decisions that needed them. We do that mapping computationally, in minutes.

§ 02

AX-2601 · Brazil, Section 301

Additional duties of 25 percent ad valorem on substantially all Brazil-origin goods, effective 12:01 a.m. ET, 22 July 2026. USTR Notice of Action published 15 July 2026.

What the action does

Additional duties are reported under HTSUS heading 9903.05.01, alongside the ordinary classification. The duty applies on top of any antidumping or countervailing duties already in force.

Chapter 98 relief is generally unavailable, with limited exceptions where the duty attaches to the value of foreign processing.

What we screen for

Shipments falling inside the in-transit window under heading 9903.05.02. Goods already subject to Section 232 measures, excepted under 9903.05.07.

Lines whose exemption status changed between the proposed annex of 4 June and the final action of 15 July. Foreign trade zone admissions requiring privileged foreign status.

What we return

One page per company. Every visible shipment with its vessel, lading port, arrival date, commodity, HS line and estimated laden-on-board range.

Each resolves to one of four states: inside the in-transit window, outside it, past the entry cut-off, or unresolvable from the public record. The last group identifies exactly which bills of lading to retrieve.

No product exclusion process has been announced for this action. Exemption turns on whether a line appears in the published annexes. Where there is nothing to find, our finding says so — several categories, including footwear, apparel and machinery, had exemption requests expressly denied.
§ 03

Method

Four stages, identical for every action in the register.

Source

Vessel manifest records released under 19 CFR 103.31, carrying consignee, shipper, vessel, lading and discharge ports, container counts, commodity descriptions, HS codes and arrival dates. Client-supplied catalogues and commercial documents are screened alongside where provided.

Screening

Every record is matched against the published annexes for each action in the register. Machine-assisted matching resolves the transliteration variants, naming inconsistencies and derivative-list overlaps that defeat manual search at volume.

Inference, declared as inference

Laden-on-board dates are not published. We derive a range from the recorded arrival date less the typical transit band for that lane, and report it as a range. Where the range crosses an effective date, the record is marked unresolvable rather than resolved by assumption.

Delivery

A dated single-page finding, every flag carrying the heading and notice it derives from. Findings are prepared for review with the client's licensed customs broker or trade counsel, who determine classification and make all filings.

What the public record cannot show. Manifest data covers ocean cargo only; air, rail and truck manifests are not published. Commercial invoice values are not public, and no monetary figures appear in our findings. Importers holding a confidentiality certification do not appear in the data at all. Recorded arrival dates are estimates subject to revision.
§ 04

Indicative line screen
