Review note, as released

Parsed by @origin/rulebook-ingest (Annex 4-B adapter); awaiting licensed review. Annex 4-A(k): de minimis excluded for materials in the good’s own subheading (D-84). Effective date not stated per provision on the page; the loader sets it from the reviewer’s explicit --effective-from decision (D-91), never a default. Expanded from range 15.01-15.18 (OPEN-14). Edition HS2022 and effective date 2020-07-01 set by FSRC at load (D-91; OPEN-06: the Annex is written against HS 2012 nomenclature; transposition not applied). Approved in bulk on the owner's instruction (FSRC owner (user 480c01a9-b5b3-4a3e-a5d0-223e73975b24), 2026-11-10; D-73).

Edition of the Harmonized System: the product-specific rules of CUSMA Annex 4-B were written against the 2012 edition (HS 2012). This release applies them to codes of today’s tariffs, which follow the 2022 edition (HS 2022), without transposing them (open question OPEN-06). Where a code was created, split or renumbered after 2012, check the rule against the official text.
