## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [International Trade, Customs & Sanctions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/international-trade-customs-and-sanctions.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the parties, goods, services, destination, vessel and payment path the lawyer lists, extract a table of names and descriptions and set beside each one any Consolidated List entry or sanctions-framework measure the lawyer has opened. Do not say whether the supply is prohibited, whether an asset must be frozen, or whether a permit should be sought. Do not draft the advice or a permit application. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the activity is prohibited under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945, the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 or the regulations, whether an asset must be frozen and reported, and whether to apply to the Minister for Foreign Affairs for a permit. The lawyer writes the advice. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: From the parties, goods, services, destination, vessel and payment path the lawyer lists, extract a table of names and descriptions and set beside each one any Consolidated List entry or sanctions-framework measure the lawyer has opened. Do not say whether the supply is prohibited, whether an asset must be frozen, or whether a permit should be sought. Do not draft the advice or a permit application.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the activity is prohibited under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945, the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 or the regulations, whether an asset must be frozen and reported, and whether to apply to the Minister for Foreign Affairs for a permit. The lawyer writes the advice.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Re-run the names against the Consolidated List file dated the day of the advice, including aliases, and do not rely on a list from another country.
2. Open the sanctions framework for the country or theme, not only the Consolidated List, and check goods, services and commercial-activity prohibitions.
3. If a possible asset is held, stop the dealing and follow the freeze and notification steps before any further supply.
4. Confirm the advice states the date of the list and the framework pages it uses, and that the tool has not written any sentence of the advice.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
