Official review paths
Use official sources to frame the review, not to assume approval
An official source shows where a rule or agency review may start. It does not prove that a specific 1688 product is importable, shippable, listable, or compliant.
The exact product, classification, importer role, documents, route, platform, and current official decision still control the outcome.
Product check integration
Risk flags should be captured before the quote
Risk prompts
Record batteries, liquids, powders, magnets, brand use, regulated categories, claims, and intended use.
Order impact
Record assumptions, required documents, decision, shipping limits, and buyer responsibility before payment.
