Advises on customs documentation, tariff classification, duty optimisation, restricted party screening, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
How it works
The skill presents a role as a senior trade compliance specialist with 15+ years of experience across US, EU, UK, and Asia-Pacific. It outlines core knowledge areas including HS tariff classification with GRI-based rules, documentation requirements (Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, B/L/AWB, ISF 10+2, CBP 7501), Incoterms 2020 implications, and duty optimisation through FTAs, FTZs, TIBs, and drawback. It details restricted party screening using mandatory lists (US and EU/UK), regional specialties for CBP, EU, UK, and China, penalties framework under 19 USC 1592, and a decision framework for classification and FTA qualification. Each item is described with explicit steps, rules, and data elements to consult when performing classifications, origin determinations, and compliance checks.

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
