    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "apply": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Applies the governing ad valorem rate for an HTS code to a customs value and returns the indicative duty, with the free-trade rate shown separately when the origin qualifies. It states plainly what is excluded rather than presenting a total that looks complete. Use it for a directional landed-cost figure, never as a customs declaration.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_hts_code" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the official US Harmonized Tariff Schedule by plain-language product description and get back candidate HTS lines with their duty rates. Classification is the hard part of importing and the usual place a costly mistake is made, so this returns several candidates with their descriptions rather than pretending there is one obvious answer.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "lookup_us_duty_rate" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given a US HTS code, returns the duty rate that actually applies, resolving the common trap that rates sit on the 8-digit line while the 10-digit statistical lines underneath are blank and inherit. Optionally pass the country of origin to see whether a free-trade rate is available. Always reports what is excluded, because trade remedies such as Section 301 are not in this data and can dwarf the base rate.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
