Change Log
Every BITE release.
A running log of product updates, fixes, and improvements.
September 28, 2026
v3.4.10New: AES Analyzer
- Upload an AES/EEI export file (CSV or Excel) and BITE audits every commodity line in it. Checks cover:
- classification
- licensing
- destination and sanctions
- filing timeliness
- part numbers filed under more than one ECCN
- agency (PGA) requirements
- restricted-party screening of the ultimate consignee
- Works with your file as it is: BITE finds the right sheet and header row and skips notes and blank rows.
- Filter findings by severity, finding type, destination or license type.
- Clear or restore findings, add notes, and mark lines as reviewed. Re-running an audit keeps your reviews and notes.
- Download the findings as a CSV that includes your original file's columns.
- If a check couldn't run on your data, the run page tells you, so a skipped check is never reported as a pass.
- Available under Analyzers on Pro plans and above.
Import Hub
- A new Tools page brings Document Upload, Reports and the new Library into Import Hub. API access is coming soon.
- The Library keeps every document upload and generated report in one place. You can download the original files and all outputs, filter by source, and search by file, creator or referenced database.
- Download a PDF report for any product from its product page.
- Invalid and missing HTS codes are now shown in red with an explanation and no tariff stack, and they lower the compliance score. Opening a product with no HTS code no longer shows an error.
- Entry and loading dates now default to today in Edit Tariff Inputs.
- KPI cards load faster.
- Database Settings is now a gear button next to a Delete Database button, and Notifications now live inside each database.
Export Hub
- The Documents and Comments tabs on a product now save your work. Upload, download and delete files, and add or remove comments. Every change shows up in the product's History right away.
- Export Hub no longer fills in sample values. The Business Unit, Business Segment and CW Role pickers start empty and remember the values your team enters.
- The product CSV template now downloads with column headers only.
- Bulk product risk screening now notifies you when a run finishes, using the database's notification setting.
Export Workflow
- A possible NRC/DOE or ITAR match no longer ends the review early. Later checks are skipped only when exclusive jurisdiction is clearly established.
- A new Jurisdiction Routing badge and coverage status appear on the NRC and ITAR results, in Saved Work and in the PDF report.
- If an automated check can't be completed, BITE retries it once. If it still can't be completed, the check is marked "Not assessed — manual review required" and is never reported as low risk or clear.
- When jurisdiction is unresolved, the EEI filing and Where to File recommendations now carry a caution.
Entity Databases
- Email Audience: choose who receives screening-completion emails and Daily Updates for each database.
- Send to all current team members (the default), or to selected team members and outside email addresses, up to 50.
- Recipients never see each other's addresses.
- The screening-complete email has a refreshed design.
- Smarter re-flagging:
- A cleared entity stays cleared unless it gets more hits.
- Barred and quarantined entities go back to review whenever their hits change, up or down.
- The bulk status change now has a Clear by risk level option, for example to clear all low-risk entities.
- Match Score no longer shows a false 100% when only a single alias matches exactly.
- The Audit Log tab on an entity's page now has search, filters and a jump to last page.
- Duplicate detection when creating or importing a database now catches punctuation variants, such as "ABB Inc" and "ABB, Inc.". Choosing Keep Duplicates now actually keeps them.
- Downloading a report from an entity's page now gives that entity's own screening report.
- Results reports:
- Hits-only CSV exports now include every hit. They were previously capped at 1,000 per entity.
- Filtering by status now uses each entity's status in that database.
- Verification items awaiting confirmation now display correctly.
Entity Screening
- Far fewer false positives when searching short initials such as J&J, B&A or C.C.R.
- The Ownership tab now shows a loading spinner instead of a stale or zero hit count while results load.
Saved Work
- Share a Saved Work ticket by email from the Saved Work home page.
Tariff Checker
- A new banner links to the Tariff Analyzer for checking many HTS codes at once.
Account & Licensing
- The License assignment tab now shows the correct number of available seats.
Beneficial Ownership
- Choosing between similar companies no longer stalls when a lookup is slow.
General bug fixes and improvements
September 20, 2026
v3.4.9Export Workflow
- EAR / CCL license exception breakdown. The workflow now returns a structured license-exception determination instead of a general narrative — you can see which exception applies and why.
- Corrected "Where to File" routing for embargoed destinations. Previously every Part 746 embargo routed to OFAC. Now only Iran and Crimea/Covered Regions of Ukraine route to OFAC; all other embargoed destinations correctly route to BIS, with the right AES code.
- Tighter OFAC and PGA rules, plus fixes to encryption and "specially designed" classification intake.
- Fewer repeated clarifying questions. The workflow no longer re-asks questions you've answered, and adds a real Continue button at the confirmation checkpoint.
- Better "missing information" handling and a cleaner PDF report.
Entity Hub & Entity Databases
- Entity Hub home page redesign, with a new notifications tab for your entity databases.
- All-tab count now shows the true total. Opening a database used to show only top-level records in the header (e.g. "60 items" for a database card reading "2,001 entities") because nested records weren't counted. It now matches the card, with a separate top-level count where a hierarchy exists.
- All Matches count fixed. The tab could read 0 while the table below showed hundreds of hits — the badge and the table were reading different totals. Badge, summary line, and table footer now all agree, and the count appears as soon as screening finishes rather than waiting on AI evaluation.
- Bulk status changes respect the tab you're on. "All items" / "All items with no matches" now only affect the current tab, Barred entities are protected from bulk moves, and the confirmation dialog shows exactly how many records will change before you apply.
- Restore-by-flag now asks first. "Restore all that were Cleared / Quarantined / Barred" opens a confirmation with the count instead of running immediately.
- Country column shows the entity's own country. It no longer falls back to the source country, and prefers nationality over a generic country value.
Beneficial Ownership
- Affiliated/sanctions-related entities are surfaced first in screening results rather than being crowded out by bulk registry entries.
- Better entity disambiguation. Official long forms now match correctly (Rosneft → Rosneft Oil Company, Sberbank → Sberbank of Russia), national company registers are demoted and capped, and duplicate display names are collapsed.
- Less noise in findings. Low-confidence matches are hidden from the findings list and headline count; a recorded 0% shareholding now reads "not disclosed" rather than implying a zero holding.
- Ownership tree now appears in the PDF as the final section.
Import Hub
- Create categories inline while adding or editing a product, instead of needing them to exist first.
- FTA and exclusion toggle selections now persist instead of resetting.
- Quantity and unit of measure are preserved in product details and saved together.
- Clearer sharing and total-duty labels in exports and broker emails; themed styling restored on category and PGA fields.
Tariff Calculation
- Compound rates now price on the correct reporting unit. A line reporting both 77 NO and 77.76 KG against 2.3% + $1.05/kg was pricing the per-kg portion on 77. Rates written per gram against a kilogram quantity also returned $0.00 — both fixed.
- Tariff Analyzer bulk upload now accepts quantity and unit of measure. Previously every specific duty component came through as $0 with no warning. Added to the CSV templates and the Add Tariff form.
- Pound quantities now convert correctly. 100 lbs against a per-kg rate was being priced as 100 kg.
- Unrecognized units are now flagged rather than guessed. A unit the calculator can't convert shows "Amount Defaulted (Quantity Required)" instead of silently pricing against the wrong unit.
- Clearing a product's unit of measure now sticks. Clearing it previously left the saved tariff result priced on the old unit.
- 11 previously unmapped Chapter 99 codes are now classified, including Section 232 UAS and Section 201 QSP.
- Custom disclaimer on Tariff Checker, and consistent styling across all seven input fields.
ACE Analyzer
- Search now finds Chapter 99 codes. Searching any Ch.99 code returned nothing before. Codes now match whether you type them with or without dots — and this also fixes dotted base HTS searches.
- Section 201 and Section 338 now appear in the filter and bulk-actions panels.
- IT Date now shows in the line detail drawer when your upload includes it.
- Re-Run is now a single modal with Re-Run and Re-Run Excluding IEEPA options, replacing the standalone toggle.
- Exported CSV header rows are now properly escaped.
Navigation & Workflow Consolidation
- Document upload is now part of Create Database. Both Import Hub and Export Hub gained an "Upload Documents" start mode — attach a customs entry PDF during the wizard and it carries straight through to analysis with the database preset. The standalone Document Upload buttons and sidebar entry are gone.
- "Import Data" on a database now offers a method chooser (file or documents) instead of jumping straight to the CSV dialog.
- Reports consolidated into one "Create Report" button. ACE and Tariff run details collapse their separate report buttons into a single menu, and entity databases gained a Build Report action that opens inline.
- Homepage workflow list cleaned up to match — the retired standalone entries are removed.
Accounts & Whitelabel
- Smoother registration for new users. Team setup runs immediately and completed registrations land on the homepage rather than a deep link.
- Credit usage tab now reports used credits correctly, with fixed credit navigation.
General bug fixes and improvements
September 14, 2026
v3.4.8Tariff — Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF)
- MPF is now automatically waived when the country of origin is a beneficiary country under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (General Note 7) or a least-developed beneficiary developing country (General Note 4(b)(i)).
- The waiver applies on origin alone — you no longer need to claim an SPI or tick an FTA for the fee to be removed. This matters most for least-developed origins, where the GSP special program codes that previously carried the exemption are no longer available.
- Products of Israel are now also waived on origin in the Single Tariff Tool, matching how the other tariff screens already behaved.
- Each waiver respects its own effective date, so historical entries calculate correctly: CBERA from 1 January 1984, least-developed from 1 July 1997, Israel from 16 September 1998. Entries before those dates still show the fee as owed.
- Applies across the Single Tariff Tool, Classification, Products Database, Monitor, and both the ACE and Tariff Analyzers.
- Fixed: changing only the country of origin now updates the MPF figure straight away. Previously the displayed and saved totals could keep the previous country's fee.
ACE Analyzer — Chapter 99 exclusions
- Fixed two cases where the analyzer reported Missing or Unexpected Chapter 99 codes against entries that were filed correctly.
- An optional exclusion you did not claim is no longer applied automatically when doing so would displace a code you did file. Previously this could drop a claimed Section 232 auto duty and its Forced-Labor exemption, then flag the entry.
- A mandatory exclusion is no longer applied when the only thing making it valid is the duty it is meant to except. Previously an overlap exclusion could evict its own justification on goods not subject to any Section 232 program, then report the entry as incorrect.
- The overlap exclusion still applies normally when a genuine Section 232 code is present on the line.
Entity Screening — Address of Interest
- Address is no longer used for watchlist matching or ranking. Supplying an address no longer brings in records with different names, and no longer changes the order of your results.
- Watchlist matching is now name-based, with the minimum name relevance requirement applying even when a full street address is supplied. Country of Interest continues to rank results as before.
- Addresses are still stored and displayed as record data, and are still used for address and business verification, which is a separate check.
- Please note: the first screening after this update may legitimately show records added or removed, as address-only matches are no longer returned. Use that first run as your new baseline for comparison.
Daily Screening — stable results
- Fixed results changing between runs when nothing in your data had changed. Where many hits shared the same relevance score, the 1,000-hit cap could return a different set each time, which was then reported as hundreds of records added and removed.
- Hit ordering is now stable, so re-screening against unchanged data returns the same records, in the same order, with no false change activity.
- The per-query limit, alias handling and result merging are unchanged.
BITE DB — match counts
- The All Matches count now follows the results table. It previously could show 0 next to a populated table.
- Counts now reflect the latest saved screening, including screenings whose AI evaluation is still running. You no longer have to wait for AI to finish to see an accurate count.
- Matched Hits in Database Info now includes watchlist matches plus saved ownership matches when ownership is enabled.
- Ownership results refresh after re-screening, and return to a valid page if the result set gets smaller.
- Bulk status actions on zero-hit entities now act on the same screening snapshot shown on screen.
General bug fixes and improvements
September 11, 2026
v3.4.7Entity Screening & Screening Databases
- Page through all matches — true pagination at 100 rows per page on both the All Matches and Ownership tabs, including result sets larger than 10,000 hits.
- Filter the results table by lens, list, country, and match score — the badge counts, the "of N" total, and the pager all stay in sync with your filtered view, and Clear Filters restores the full set.
- More relevant match ranking — records in your Country of Interest rank to the top; exact and linked-company name matches rank above incidental one-word overlaps; watchlisted addresses are surfaced; and searches now require all name terms, cutting irrelevant results.
- AI evaluation now always runs on strong matches for a named screen (no longer skipped when the hit list is large), reviewing the top matches scoring 70%+.
- "1286 Institutions" and Sanctions-Affiliated Entities are now treated as High-risk, so strong name matches score High.
- Restricted Ownership & Affiliates (RE) hits now appear in the standard Entity Screening table, with RE badges, sorting, filtering, and bulk-hide.
- Restored the PEP / BOI tab on the Data Catalog HRE List.
Export Workflow (EAR / CCL)
- New additional export-control checks: CHIPS / §744.23 semiconductor "advanced-computing" end-use overlay with China-transshipment screening, §744.23 determination notes on the summary cards and generated PDF, a CCL side-panel summary, and BIS guidance notes surfaced across all result screens.
- US ECCN → EU / UK / Canada foreign-equivalent correlation, consolidated into a single International/Multilateral results panel.
- Option to skip the EAR/CCL foreign-classification checks when you only need the U.S. ECCN.
Classification
- The final classified HTS code now links directly to its official entry on HTS.gov.
- HTS reference data updated to Revision 18.
Beneficial Ownership Workflow
- New ownership tree diagram, restored affiliated-entities data, and a redesigned saved-work ticket view.
Import Hub / Import Workflow
- Upgraded Create Database wizard, with PGA hits used to pre-fill and a send-to-broker fix.
- Product search now accepts formatted 10-digit HTS codes.
- Import cost accuracy fixes — declared value and landed-cost calculations corrected.
Reliability (all workflows)
- Your in-progress work is now preserved across a forced re-login — if your session expires mid-workflow (Import, Export, or Beneficial Ownership), your conversation, inputs, and extracted fields are saved and restored automatically instead of lost. Also fixes a bug that could log out actively-working SSO users.
White-Label Customers
- White-label customer report function.
- Clear "no tenant access" message when a white-label tab loses its session, instead of a broken screen.
- Embedded/iframe tool fixes for white-label sites.
Public API (API Customers)
- Per-client database access allowlists are now enforced.
- Webhook lens statistics now aggregate across all matched documents for accurate counts.
General bug fixes and improvements
September 3, 2026
v3.4.6Export Hub
- Export Workflow findings now push directly into the Hub — each product shows its result, ECCN or USML category, reasons for control, alternatives considered, and destination licensing position.
- Findings that contradict your records are flagged, e.g. an ITAR hit on a product filed as EAR.
- Findings show what couldn't be established, so a "Needs Review" result explains itself.
- ITAR licenses can now carry a USML category and PM/DDTC commodity code, at both license and line-item level — a license spanning several categories is recorded accurately instead of being forced into an ECCN-only shape.
- Choose whether a license's authorized value is tracked against linked products or against the ECCN bucket.
- "Is a license required?" is answered per destination from Country Screening, and names the countries requiring one. Reviewers can override it by hand. Unknown is a distinct state — a missing ECCN never reads as "No."
- Import a bill of materials from CSV, with a preview of the hierarchy before anything commits.
- New History view: one timeline per database covering edits, screenings, runs, and imports, filterable by type.
- New report generation: point-in-time spreadsheet export covering products, licenses and usage, screening results, and BOM hierarchy.
- Expanded database dashboard, product deletion, multi-country destination fields, and a broad layout pass.
Import Hub
- Bulk tariff exclusions: apply or remove an exclusion across selected products at once. The dialog shows what it applies to, what already has it, and the rate before you commit.
- Bulk results report partial successes, skips, and failures individually.
- XML export reconciles tariff rows more accurately and validates for a ten-digit HTS code up front instead of failing later.
- Creating a database from a file no longer double-counts a repeated name + country of origin against your allowance; blank product names fall back to description, then model number.
Product Allowances
- Import Hub and Export Hub now share one product allowance — 100 credits with 50 products in Import leaves 50 for Export, and the usage meter counts both.
- Over-limit creations and imports are blocked before they run, enforced server-side so the limit matches what the meter shows.
ACE Analyzer
- Choose whether IEEPA duties are included when you create a run. The setting is saved, shown on run details, and changeable on re-run.
- Every column you upload now comes back in the export. Fields BITE doesn't model are returned in the analyzed CSV under your own headers and order — standard uploads and CargoWise exports alike.
Duty Calculation
- Merchandise Processing Fee corrected for goods of Israel. Under 19 CFR 24.23(c)(5) they're exempt on origin alone, whether or not the Israel FTA is claimed. The fee was previously gated on claiming the FTA, over-charging 0.3464% up to the per-entry cap. Fixed across the tariff tool, products database, classification, Import Hub, and saved work.
Export Classification (ECCN)
- New international control-list layer: alongside the US result, classification checks the EU dual-use list (Reg. (EU) 2021/821 Annex I) and the native Wassenaar, MTCR, and NSG lists.
- Reasons for control map to the regime behind them — NS to Wassenaar, MT to MTCR, NP to NSG, CB to the Australia Group.
- Runs hardest on EAR99 and ambiguous outcomes, so items with no US control but foreign or multilateral exposure get surfaced.
- Worded as an indicative screening signal pointing to the destination authority — not a foreign legal determination.
- Foreign control equivalents are matched to a settled US ECCN by exact control-number lookup, and carry through to saved work and PDF downloads.
Entity Screening and Saved Work
- Beneficial ownership summaries are reflowed into paragraphs on screen and in the PDF; the "more below" fade clears once you've reached the end.
- PDF downloads wrap long values within their own row instead of overflowing into the next.
Performance and Reliability
- Faster entity lists in the products database, with paging applied before ownership lookups.
- Faster bulk status changes and bulk deletes on entity records.
- Hardened tenant isolation, with authentication and server-side plan enforcement extended across more endpoints.
General bug fixes and improvements
August 31, 2026
v3.4.5Tariff & duty accuracy
- Corrected duty calculation for vehicle parts that fall under both the auto-parts and heavy-duty vehicle Section 232 scopes. These parts could previously return 0% additional duty. The auto-parts exception now applies on its own where it should, while the heavy-duty exception remains a question you answer.
- Archived HTS codes are no longer offered as selectable classifications in tariff search. They remain visible in HTS Code History for reference.
Products Database
- Database summary totals now include entered value for rows that haven't finished screening. Header totals no longer understate a database while screening is still running. Duty continues to show zero for unscreened rows, which reflects reality.
- Fixed total value calculations that could be skewed by zero-value entries.
Import Hub
- Added a Has CPSC Hit column to CSV exports, flagging products with a Consumer Product Safety Commission match.
- CSV exports now use readable column headers.
Customs Entry Analyzer
- Fixed a failure in AI-assisted extraction that could cause an entry to return no extracted data. Affected documents now process normally.
Accounts & onboarding
- Fixed new users being routed past team setup after registering. First-time users are now reliably taken through team creation before reaching the app.
General bug fixes and improvements
August 27, 2026
v3.4.4Tariff & Duty Calculation
- Section 338 duties now appear in a dedicated "SEC 338" column in ACE Analyzer results and stack in the correct CBP sequence — after Section 301 and before Section 232/201 duties.
- Fixed automatic FTA substitution. When a line claims a preference program (SPI) that is rejected — either because the program has been retired or the origin country isn't eligible — the calculator no longer quietly substitutes a different trade agreement in its place. The line now correctly prices at full duty and the ineligible SPI is reported. This also resolves cases where a Canada or Mexico origin was incorrectly given USMCA treatment, which forced an unnecessary Chapter 99 line split.
- Added the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Gabon to the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) eligible country list.
- The Mexico tab has been removed from the Tariff tool. United States and Canada tariff lookups are unchanged.
Export Classification (Classify / Export Workflow)
- Every classification phase — ITAR, NRC Part 110, DOE Part 810, and EAR/CCL — now shows how the determination was reached: a confidence level (High/Medium/Low), the closest alternative that was considered and why it was ruled out, and any assumptions made along the way. EAR/CCL additionally lists the candidate ECCNs that were evaluated.
- These transparency details appear everywhere the result does: the individual phase cards, the final results summary, the run timeline, saved work, and the generated PDF report.
- Country screening now includes a detailed written explanation of any embargo determination, on screen and in the PDF.
- The classification engine has been reworked to stop filling in gaps with assumptions. It now distinguishes what you actually stated from what is merely typical for a product type, and asks a clarifying question when an unstated detail is what decides the outcome — including when the current lean is "not controlled." When it must finish without an answer, it leans toward the more conservative controlled reading, marks confidence as Low, and records the open question rather than silently defaulting to EAR99 or "no match."
- Schedule B selection rationale and closest-alternative text now wraps correctly in saved work instead of running off the card.
Beneficial Ownership Screening
- Background investigations are now available to all customers. Start an ownership investigation, choose to run it in the background, and we'll email you the finished report — you no longer have to stay on the page while it runs.
- Ownership summaries have been substantially improved: a general connected-entity relationship is no longer described as ownership or control unless the record actually supports it.
- Summaries no longer call attention to a missing ownership percentage or speculate about the 50% threshold when no percentage exists — they state the documented relationship and move on.
- Negation and timing are preserved, so wording like "no longer" or "former" is no longer converted into a current ownership relationship.
- Multiple records about the same party are consolidated into one passage, including records where the same name appears in a different order.
- Summaries are shorter and read as a single connected narrative rather than a record-by-record recital.
- Ownership screening now draws on alternative entity names and verification relationship, evidence, and status fields from the underlying records.
- The potential-match count stated in the summary now matches the total shown on the Ownership tab.
- The Beneficial Ownership button is now disabled while ownership results are still loading, so an investigation can't be started against a partial set of records.
Entity Database Screening
- Databases and individual entity records now show a live "Screening in progress" indicator with a running count of entities processed, updating automatically as the run advances — no page refresh needed.
- If a screening run takes longer than expected, a "Delayed: this database is taking longer than usual" notice now appears on the database card, in the database list, and on the database detail page, so a slow run is visible rather than silent.
- Entity databases are no longer locked and blurred while screening is running. You can browse and work with entity records while a run is in progress.
- The database list refreshes on its own while any screening is active, so counts and statuses stay current.
Sign-in & Access
- Fixed a timing issue where account permissions could be looked up against the wrong domain during sign-in, which caused intermittent missing-access and permission errors immediately after logging in.
- Login activity tracking no longer depends on an individual user's search permissions, resolving intermittent sign-in errors.
General bug fixes and improvements
August 25, 2026
v3.4.3Export Workflow
- Live findings as the agent works. Every phase now shows what it *determined*, not just that it's thinking — lines like "ITAR §126.1: UAE is not a proscribed destination" or "Selected 8411.91 over 8411.99 because…" appear as they happen. No added wait time.
- Schedule B classifications now show the assumptions behind them.
- Redesigned workflow chat and results layout.
- Results now include clickable links through to referenced sources.
- Fixed: EEI progress printing, saved-work navigation, and consolidated results.
Classification
- Progress streams in-chat during classification — chapter selection, tree traversal, and final report generation no longer sit silent.
- New "Under Review" state for classifications that need a second look.
- Live streaming results for ITAR, NRC, EAR, and ECCN.
- Handles input that can't be classified gracefully instead of failing, and tells you when it reconsiders an earlier answer.
- Fixed: classification output PDF, NRC hit card ordering, ECCN page, and in-chat navigation.
Import Hub — CargoWise XML
- Import CargoWise XML files directly, with a downloadable example template right in the import dialog.
- Export a database back out as CargoWise XML — either preserving the original source structure, or newly generated for databases you built from CSV.
- Exports run in the background with live progress, a summary, and reconciliation warnings if anything doesn't line up.
Customs Entry Analyzer
- Now handles entry documents whose layout it doesn't recognize — an AI fallback reads the document when the standard parser can't.
- Unrecognized uploads come back as a result with warnings rather than failing outright.
- Flags skipped lines and bundled entries so you know what to double-check.
Beneficial Ownership
- Noticeably faster runs.
- "Run in the background and email me" now emails you even if the run doesn't complete, instead of leaving you waiting on a report that never arrives.
- Investigation view brought in line with the Export Workflow: streaming transcript, phase cards, progress rail.
Entity DB
- Previous status is now sticky. When screening resets an entity's status, you can restore or decline the prior status — per row, or restore all at once by flag.
- A banner tells you when statuses have been reset; restore actions lock while screening is still running.
- Fixed: an entity's activity log was showing the whole database's activity instead of just that entity's.
Tariff
- Expanded Canadian TRQ (tariff-rate quota) rate coverage.
Sign-in
- Improved SSO for customers on shared hosts — sign-in routes to the correct identity provider and is remembered per browser tab.
Across the app
- Consistent page layout: every page has a title, breadcrumbs cleared off tool home pages, uniform spacing throughout.
- Assorted navigation fixes.
General bug fixes and improvements
August 20, 2026
v3.4.2Canada Tariff-Rate Quotas
- New Tariff-Rate Quota panel on the Canada tariff tab. When your HS code falls under a Canadian tariff-rate quota, the tool identifies the quota, names the product group it covers, and shows the within-access and over-access rates side by side.
- Declare your quota position and the duty is calculated on that basis. Because within-access and over-access rates on supply-managed goods can differ by orders of magnitude, no duty figure is shown until you make that declaration.
- Import permit questions built in. The tool asks whether you hold a valid EIPA import permit (Import Control List item 82) and applies the deeming rule where you do not.
- Choose your product line where a quota covers several. Many quotas span a group of tariff lines carrying different rates; select which line describes your goods and the duty follows.
- New Quota Details view — every tariff line covered, quota volumes broken out by trade agreement (WTO, CPTPP, CUSMA), quota year, administration method, permit requirements per side, preferential-rate and underfill notes, plus links to the GAC notice and Import Control List.
- Shared quota visibility where a quota's volume is pooled across several Import Control List items.
Canada Surtaxes and Trade Remedies
- Refreshed Canadian surtax coverage — steel import quota surtax, China surtax, US steel/aluminium and motor vehicle surtaxes, Chinese melt-and-pour, steel derivatives, and the current provisional safeguards on canned vegetables and wood cabinets and vanities.
- Origin questions that reflect how the orders work — whether steel was first melted and poured in China, or aluminium smelted and cast in China.
- New Relief & Exemptions view — remission orders with citations and qualifying conditions, de minimis thresholds, goods-in-transit exclusions, and each order's written exclusions.
- Preferential tariff treatments on Canada imports, matched to your country of origin.
- Correct accounting references — CBSA code and the CAD field each measure is accounted in.
Canada Partner Government Agency Requirements
- PGA flagging now covers Canada imports, grouped by agency (Health Canada, Natural Resources Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada and others) and naming the programme.
Beneficial Ownership Screening
- Now its own explicit on/off setting per database, rather than sitting among the screening lists.
- Available at database creation as well as in existing screening settings.
- Results presented separately from other entity screening results.
- Scoped to entity databases.
Classification and HTS Data
- Chapter 70 (Glass and glassware) updated to Revision 16.
- Improved session continuity in the classification assistant.
General bug fixes and improvements
August 19, 2026
v3.4.1Tariffs & Classification
- Improved: Section 301 classification now includes codes 9903.05.01–9903.05.09, so entry lines carrying them flow into Section 301 columns, totals, filters, and exports. Analyses run before this release reflect the earlier mapping — re-run them to pick up the update.
Entity Screening & Due Diligence
- Changed: Beneficial ownership findings are now evidence-only. Ownership and BOI results remain fully available in the Ownership tab and screening history, and risk level now reflects the entity's own screening results. Teams that filter or report by risk level may see entities grouped differently than before.
- Improved: Adverse media checks now report service interruptions directly, so a result is recorded only once a search completes successfully.
- Improved: Entity record updates, scheduled re-screening, and ownership name matching.
Customs Entry Analyzer
- New: Save a completed entry analysis to Saved Work as a ticket.
- New: Reopen a saved ticket and pick up where you left off, with the document batch intact.
- Improved: Redesigned analysis workspace — results in a single column, clearer stage-by-stage progress, and readable names for generated documents.
- Improved: More precise merchandise HTS detection. The parser identifies the primary classification by tariff chapter, improving accuracy on entries that include Chapter 98/99 lines.
Import Hub
- New: Bulk CSV upload with duplicate detection — send a whole batch of products in one file, with repeated records flagged before they enter your database.
- New: HTS replacement flow across an imported batch, unlocked once Package Check has run.
- Improved: Live progress while a batch processes, with each stage named as it runs.
- Improved: Products carry their batch lineage, so any row traces back to the upload it came from.
Public API
- New: Screening results delivered by webhook, plus new read endpoints to fetch a result on demand — no more polling.
- New: Choose which channels a notification goes to, instead of a single on/off setting.

v3.4.0Entity Screening & Entity Hub — rebuilt on a new engine
- You now see every match, not just the first 250. Previously, when an entity returned a very large number of potential matches, the results were cut off — and one entire watchlist source (Worldwide Restricted Parties) was left out of those cut-off results. Entities with the most matches were the ones showing you the least. Every match from every list is now kept and shown.
- Browse all results for an entity, best matches first. Results are paged rather than capped, and ordered by how strong the match is.
- See exactly what changed since your last screen. Instead of only being told "3 results changed," you can now see which records were newly added, which dropped off, and — for records that were updated — precisely which details changed, with the old and new values side by side.
- New change report. Export everything that changed across a database over any date range, or pull change detail for a specific set of entities you select.
- Beneficial ownership screening is now built into screening, as its own lens with its own results, rather than a separate check.
- Download a full screening report for a single entity straight from Entity Hub — the same report format you already get when you save an Entity Screening ticket.
- A more honest progress indicator. Screens in progress no longer sit at "0%" for minutes on smaller databases in a way that looked like the job had stalled.
Scheduled screening & notifications
- Fixed: duplicate daily summary emails. Database summary emails now arrive once per day, not once per background process.
Export Workflow — two new control regimes
- DOE 10 CFR Part 810 is now assessed alongside NRC Part 110. These cover genuinely different things: NRC covers exporting nuclear equipment and material; DOE Part 810 covers sharing nuclear technology, know-how and assistance with foreign atomic-energy activities. An item can fall under one and not the other, so each is now assessed and reported separately.
- AUKUS exemption check for Australia and UK destinations. Where a potential ITAR match is found, the workflow now checks whether the item appears on the Excluded Technology List and flags whether an AUKUS or treaty pathway may be available — always as a possibility to confirm with DDTC, never as a determination.
- Foreign Military Sales pathway. If a potential ITAR match is found, the workflow now asks a plain-language question about whether the shipment goes through the FMS program, and reflects the correct licensing route if it does.
Import Hub
- Upload a PGA workbook template when creating an import database and have flag data mapped in for you, instead of entering it by hand.
- New TRACES field on products.
- Navigation fixes across the Import Hub and import workflow, plus a faster database list.
ACE Analyzer
- Large ACE files now upload successfully. Real ES-003 roll-ups (100–200 MB) previously failed with a generic error. Uploads now go directly to secure storage with no practical size limit, and your original filename is preserved for later download.
Staying signed in
- Brief network interruptions no longer sign you out. A dropped connection, a laptop waking from sleep, or a momentary server hiccup used to end your session with no way back except reloading the page.
- You stay signed in while you're actively working, even when you're reading a report or filling in a form rather than clicking through screens.
Reports & other fixes
- Beneficial ownership briefings are written in a clearer, more measured professional voice, with conclusions phrased to match what the records actually support.
- Saved Export Workflow tickets now show the correct product description rather than occasionally showing a placeholder or a stray answer from the intake questions.
- Fixes to downloaded Export Workflow PDFs.
- Credit packs are no longer miscounted as license seats in your billing view, and billing information refreshes when you switch teams instead of only at sign-in.

Entity Threat Evaluation & Adverse Media AI upgrades
- Major update to the Entity Threat Evaluation agent (improved risk assessment and broader country handling) and improvements to the Adverse Media check.
Entity Screening — streamlined BITE Record ID lookup

- Fixed the sidebar highlight for the Document Upload item.
Fixes — Canada tariffs: more accurate SIMA measure matching
