preponderant
I believe the correct choice would be to leave the cognate. It usually means a "majority" amount, that is, the largest amount out of a series of amounts (largest percentage of a series of percentages, etc.).
Refer to the document below and search for "preponderant". It will place the term in the specific context. Here, it is used in terms of customs valuation.

: I don't think this is about the timing; my wild guess is that this is about the amount rather than the timing.

I think you may be right, the way it is phrased could be misleading...
