Move beyond keywords
Use product keywords to find candidates, then compare material, function, construction, and use against the HTS wording.
Review related headings when a product could be classified as a machine, part, accessory, set, or material-based article.
Document why a candidate code was chosen so the decision can be challenged or updated later.

If the quote is sensitive to a small rate change, treat the HTS lookup result as pending broker review.
