How do you read a change?
When you open a change, the top shows its title and the dates it was published and takes effect. Just below, “In short” says in a few sentences what the change means for you.
- “In short” says which origin now pays what, which of your items is affected and what there is to do.
- The “Your lanes” table shows the lanes the change touches, the current and the new duty, and what it costs you more a year.
- “Shipments on the water” shows which of your shipments keep the old rate, when the text sets a cut-off date.
- “The official text” quotes the lines we rely on, as the text prints them. “Open the official page” shows the whole text, and “Why it matched” why the change is shown to you.
When one publication changes several articles, each article is listed on its own; “Before and after” puts its old and new wording side by side.
