HTS classification and tariff changes

Suggests HTS codes with evidence for new products and tariff changes, estimates the tariff impact, and asks trade compliance to approve before any record changes.

The operation

For new imports or tariff changes, prepare HTS classification suggestions and tariff impact notes from product records, supplier docs, approved rates, and import history.
Built it in 5 steps. Trade compliance approves uncertain or high-impact classifications in Teams, and Malleable handles the rest.
