Customs Trade Compliance

If you're building systems that touch international trade, this codifies 15+ years of customs compliance expertise into something Claude can reason through. It handles HS tariff classification using the actual GRI rules, walks through FTA qualification logic for duty savings, screens parties against denied entity lists, and helps prep documentation like ISF-10+2 filings or USMCA certificates of origin. The source material goes deep on jurisdiction-specific requirements across US, EU, and UK systems. Reach for this when you need to classify products, evaluate duty optimization strategies, or respond to customs audits without keeping a trade compliance specialist on speed dial. It won't replace legal counsel on complex penalty cases, but it's solid for operational customs work.
