What the demo shows

A customs rulings search for brokers: closest CBP rulings ranked by fact, HTSUS notes quoted

Agents read the HTSUS section and chapter notes and the CBP rulings and build a ladder of rulings, closest first, each with fact chips matched against the product, flagging modified rulings and ten-digit numbers that no longer exist. The client's engineer answers fixed-field questions, the ladder re-ranks, and a challenger argues the other heading and checks the agents' own draft. A duty what-if under each heading is shown as context only; a licensed broker opens the closest ruling and signs the advice, a second broker approves, and the answer is saved for the entry writer.
