## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [International Trade, Customs & Sanctions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/international-trade-customs-and-sanctions.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the specification, brochures, composition sheets and the manufacturer identity the lawyer marks, extract a fact list for one specific good from one specific manufacturer: commercial description, materials, function, illustrations the lawyer has selected, and the candidate headings the lawyer has already nominated. Do not complete Form B102 and do not write the application. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the goods are intended imports rather than goods already imported or awaiting clearance, completes and lodges Form B102 or the TAPIN request, and sends the supporting documents within five days of a TAPIN submission. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the specification, brochures, composition sheets and the manufacturer identity the lawyer marks, extract a fact list for one specific good from one specific manufacturer: commercial description, materials, function, illustrations the lawyer has selected, and the candidate headings the lawyer has already nominated. Do not complete Form B102 and do not write the application.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the goods are intended imports rather than goods already imported or awaiting clearance, completes and lodges Form B102 or the TAPIN request, and sends the supporting documents within five days of a TAPIN submission.
- 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.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the goods are not yet imported and are not sitting awaiting clearance, and that the application is for one good from one manufacturer.
2. Check that an existing tariff advice or a live tariff concession order application is not a reason for the Australian Border Force to refuse the request.
3. If the request is created in TAPIN, diarise five days to email or deliver the application and supporting documents.
4. Confirm no sentence from the tool is copied into Form B102 until the lawyer has rewritten it.

## 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.
