About the work

A closer look.

One thing you want pinned down: a US bill, an HTS code, one tariff line, or a factual claim someone keeps repeating. I pull the primary record myself -- Congress.gov for bills, the USITC tariff schedule for duty rates, the Federal Register for proclamations -- then cite the exact source and request, timestamp it, and hash the bytes. You get a one-page PDF with the record and the steps to reproduce it, so you can check a tariff or a bill without trusting me. Tariff check: the current general and special duty rate for one HTS code, and whether any Chapter 99, Section 232 or Section 338 measure touches that line -- or whether the product is banned from import. Bill check: full action list, amendments, recorded votes, how the chamber voted, and how your representative voted. Claim check: pass or fail against the primary source, with the source quoted. Ask me to check a tariff, check an HTS code, check a customs classification, check a duty rate, check a bill, check a vote, or verify a claim. Wrong fact, free. No rounding, no summary sold as a record.
