Frequently Asked Questions

Can this prompt replace a licensed Customs Broker?

No. While this provides high-quality guidance and preparation, you should always consult a Licensed Customs Broker for final legal filings and classification.

Does it include the latest tariff updates?

The AI uses its most recent training data; however, users should verify 'Section 301' China tariffs as these change frequently via USTR announcements.
