Common Findings
A required Chapter 99 provision may be missing and could affect tariff treatment or refund eligibility.
A reported Chapter 99 provision differs from BITE’s expected tariff treatment and should be reviewed.
Tariffs were applied in a sequence that differs from expected treatment and may require correction.
The entry may be subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty case, but no applicable case number appears in the entry data.
A quantity required to evaluate or calculate the applicable duty is missing from the entry data.
The base duty calculated from the reported value and HTS information differs from the amount reported as paid.
The Analyzer could not fully evaluate the entry automatically. Review the entry manually and use the appropriate BITE reference tools where needed.
The applicable treatment depends on information that is not available in the uploaded data. Review the product or tariff treatment using the BITE Tariff tools.

FAQ
Operational guidance for working with ACE Analyzer.
What file does ACE Analyzer use?
ACE Analyzer evaluates ACE ES-003 reports and supported equivalent exports from broker systems. Users can upload a supported export without converting it into a separate BITE template.
Does ACE Analyzer identify refund opportunities?
Yes. The tool highlights entries that may qualify for post-entry review, correction, or recovery workflows.
What is the IEEPA report?
The IEEPA report contains transactions that satisfy BITE's synthesized eligibility criteria for IEEPA refund review.
How long does analysis take?
Processing time depends on the size and complexity of the report. The report status will indicate when the results are ready to review.
Why is an entry marked unmatched?
An unmatched entry could not be fully evaluated using the information contained in the uploaded file. Review it manually and use the related BITE tariff tools where appropriate.
Do results update after an entry is corrected?
No. The analysis reflects the data contained in the uploaded report. Upload a current export to evaluate corrected or newly reported information.
Can recurring reports be uploaded automatically?
Supported accounts can arrange recurring report ingestion with BITE. Contact the BITE team to configure the appropriate delivery process.
