Trade Mechanics
The trade-domain primitives every Altana workflow operates against — HS, country of origin, FTAs, and duties as a stack.
Every cross-border movement of goods runs the same gauntlet: classify the product, declare where it came from, decide which trade programs apply, calculate the duty. The four pages under this section cover the trade-domain primitives behind that gauntlet, in the order they apply.
HS classification and country of origin are the joint key — together they determine which FTAs and special programs apply, what duty rate is charged, what screening rules trigger, and what trade-remedy regimes (antidumping, countervailing, IEEPA) come into play. Altana grounds every workflow on this stack: classify once in the catalog, declare origin once, and the rest of the chain reads consistently from the same source.
