BR / METHOD — 01
BorderReady separates deterministic checks from non-binding customs guidance and shows the source behind each rule.
Automatic classification is limited to new handbags with an outer surface of textile materials or plastic sheeting, exported from Mauritius to South Africa. Supported cases receive the non-binding HS6 candidate 4202.22. Used, leather, exotic, mixed-product or vague cases receive no guess.
For this corridor, SADC—not AfCFTA preference—is the relevant preferential route. BorderReady still shows all three tariff columns honestly: General 30%, AfCFTA 30%, and SADC free only when valid origin evidence is accepted.
Documents are read entirely in this browser. File bytes, filenames, and raw OCR text are held only in memory and are never uploaded or placed in browser storage. Only normalized shipment fields and user corrections are saved, under a versioned key that expires after seven days.
100 POINT MODEL
A blocker overrides the numerical score. Unsupported, stale, or materially unverified rules require broker confirmation. Origin-evidence failures affect the SADC preference scenario while leaving the general-duty route visible.
RULE REGISTER
All rules were internally researched and have not been broker-verified. Tariff and restriction snapshots are reviewed every 30 days; procedure and origin snapshots every 90 days.
