# Import duty estimation -- OFF by default, and deliberately so.
#
# Duty depends on the HTS classification of the specific good, on origin, on trade
# programme, and on rules that change. This project cannot pick those numbers for
# you responsibly, so it ships with no rates and says plainly that duty is not
# included, rather than inventing a figure that looks authoritative.
#
# To switch it on: look the rates up from a source you trust (the USITC HTS, a
# customs broker, your freight forwarder), enter them below, and stamp `as_of` with
# the date you checked. The UI shows that date next to every estimate, so a stale
# table is visible rather than silently wrong.
#
# Nothing here is tax advice, and an estimate is not a customs ruling.
