## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [International Trade, Customs & Sanctions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/international-trade-customs-and-sanctions.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the product identifier the user enters, return only the tariff classification and statistical code already stored on the firm list for that exact identifier, together with the date the lawyer approved the row and the Working Tariff version noted on the row. If the identifier does not match a row exactly, return no classification. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer approves each row before it is stored, re-approves the list when the Working Tariff changes, and confirms that an exact identifier match is the same good from the same manufacturer before the stored code is used on an import declaration. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the product identifier the user enters, return only the tariff classification and statistical code already stored on the firm list for that exact identifier, together with the date the lawyer approved the row and the Working Tariff version noted on the row. If the identifier does not match a row exactly, return no classification.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer approves each row before it is stored, re-approves the list when the Working Tariff changes, and confirms that an exact identifier match is the same good from the same manufacturer before the stored code is used on an import declaration.
- 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 identifier matches the approved row character for character, including the manufacturer, and that the tool has not proposed a code for an unmatched product.
2. Confirm the row still cites the current Working Tariff and has been re-approved since the last Harmonized System or statistical-code change.
3. Do not copy the stored code onto an import declaration until the lawyer is satisfied the goods in this shipment are the goods described on the row.

## 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.
