Customs — AD/CVD & Tariff Exposure Cascade

Industry front door for second-order-thinking. Adds domain triggers, example, packs only. Parent Process unchanged. Not legal advice. Scope is order-specific; consult AD/CVD scope rulings / counsel.

Activate when: goods may fall under an antidumping/countervailing duty order or Section 301; sourcing changes; "are we exposed to AD/CVD or 301?"; scope ambiguity. Do NOT activate when: product clearly outside any order and no special tariff applies.

Why this variant

The parent second-order-thinking traces downstream consequences others miss. AD/CVD and Section 301 exposure is a second-order trap: a classification or origin choice that looks fine at entry can, orders later, mean retroactive duties, cash deposits, and importer liability — the broker's reasonable-care exposure too.

Domain inputs → parent's Process

• 1st order: stated HTS + origin → duty at entry.
• 2nd order: does the product fall within an AD/CVD scope (by description, not just HTS)? Section 301 China list?
• 3rd order: transshipment/evasion risk (EAPA), retroactive liquidation, importer's cash-deposit rate, successor liability.
• Parties: importer, surety, broker reasonable-care.
