WHERE IT HELPS
Documentation drafting and extraction Supplier and buyer correspondence Translating Summarising contracts and terms Explaining requirements you obtained
THE REGULATORY WARNING
Never rely on generated statements about customs requirements, duties, classification codes or documentation.
These change, they are jurisdiction-specific, and errors cause seizures, penalties and delays.
Use the actual authority and a competent agent.
FOR DOCUMENTATION
Extracting figures from invoices and packing lists.
Verify every figure and every code.
FOR SUPPLIER CORRESPONDENCE
Drafting and translating.
For languages where support is weaker, have anything important reviewed.
FOR CONTRACTS
Summarising terms and obligations is useful.
Verify against the document, and take advice for anything significant.
FOR PAYMENT
Never change payment details on a message. Verify by phone to a known number.
This is the most targeted fraud pattern in international trade.
