    Each lesson gives you a prompt you can copy and adapt.

  3. How the Lessons Connect

    The lessons follow the life of a shipment. First you classify goods, then prepare the entry, calculate duties, track clearance, and talk to customs and clients. Later lessons build on earlier ones, so you can move in order or jump to what you need today.

  4. Using the Prompts Well

    Good prompts include the shipment details, the rule you are checking, and the format you want. AI gives better answers when you ask for a table, a list, or a short email.

    Always read the answer with your own knowledge of customs law.
