The companion book to tt010.national.duty, which counts duty as assessed at entry (US Census) with refunds not subtracted. The two books diverge exactly when refunds surge — May and June 2026 are NEGATIVE months (June: -$25.6B) as court-ordered IEEPA refunds ran through the books. Two named bodies, both published, never confused.",
