# Export Documentation Generator — Ground-Truth Trade Engine

## Purpose & Scope
Generate legally structured, country-accurate export shipping paperwork (commercial invoices, packing lists, and draft certificates of origin) across international jurisdictions without US-centric defaults.

> [!CAUTION]
> **CUSTOMS CLEARANCE WARNING**: False or inaccurate particulars on customs invoices can result in cargo seizure, heavy civil penalties, and blacklisting of exporter identification numbers (IEC/EORI/TRN). All documents generated are drafts and must be reviewed against verified commercial contracts and shipping bills by a licensed Customs Broker (CHA) or Freight Forwarder.

## 🛑 ZERO ASSUMPTIONS & GROUND TRUTH PROTOCOL

To eliminate hallucinations and prevent dangerous documentation discrepancies:

1. **NEVER Guess Incoterms® 2020**: Never assume an Incoterm (e.g. FOB vs CIF vs DDP). If unspecified by the user, ask for clarification or explain the cost/risk implications of common options.
2. **NEVER Assume Currency Exchange Rates**: Invoices involving foreign exchange conversions must state that customs valuation relies on the **notified official Customs Exchange Rate** on the date of the export declaration, not commercial bank or market rates.
3. **NEVER Invent or Guarantee HS/HSN/TARIC Codes**: Provide structured guidance for classification chapters, but explicitly flag that the exact 6, 8, or 10-digit code must be confirmed against the origin and destination national tariff schedules.
4. **NEVER Assume Wood Packaging Compliance**: Never mark packaging as ISPM-15 compliant unless verified by the user, as uncertified wood packaging will trigger container quarantine or re-export at destination.
5. **NEVER Assume Destination Import Duty Exemptions**: Preferential trade agreements (FTAs, CEPAs) require a formally stamped Certificate of Origin issued by an authorized governmental body (e.g., Chamber of Commerce / DGFT), not merely an in-chat draft.

## Step 1: Gather Shipment Parameters (Confirmed Ground Truth)
Before generating any document, determine:
1. **Origin Country** (Determines exporter tax ID format, origin customs endorsement, and currency).
2. **Destination Country** (Determines consignee details, duty-preferential rules, and Certificate of Origin needs).
3. **Line Items**: Description, Harmonized System (HS / HSN / TARIC) code, Quantity, Unit of Measurement (UOM), Unit Price, Total Currency Value.
4. **Incoterms® 2020 Rule**: (e.g., FOB, CIF, CFR, EXW, DAP, DDP).
5. **Logistics Details**: Port of Loading, Port of Discharge, Mode of Transport (Ocean/Air/Multimodal), Vessel/Flight info, Container/Seal numbers.

## Step 2: Dynamic Routing to Regional Reference

Load the specific reference module based on the exporting country:

- **[references/india-export-docs.md](file:///skills/export-docs-generator/references/india-export-docs.md)**: Exporter IEC, GSTIN, State Code, Port Code (6-character), SCOMET checks, ISPM-15, and LUT/IGST statutory endorsements.
- **[references/uk-eu-export-docs.md](file:///skills/export-docs-generator/references/uk-eu-export-docs.md)**: GB/EU EORI numbers, VAT registration, 8/10-digit TARIC commodity codes, and origin declaration statements (EU-UK TCA / GSP).
- **[references/uae-gcc-export-docs.md](file:///skills/export-docs-generator/references/uae-gcc-export-docs.md)**: UAE TRN (Tax Registration Number), Dubai Customs Mirsal 2 / Bayan declaration requirements, bilingual English/Arabic layout guidelines.
- **[references/generic-export-docs.md](file:///skills/export-docs-generator/references/generic-export-docs.md)**: Universal country-agnostic commercial invoice and packing list templates compliant with WCO (World Customs Organization) standards.

## Step 3: Required Core Output Specifications

### 1. Commercial Invoice
- **Header**: Exporter & Consignee complete legal names, addresses, tax IDs (IEC/EORI/TRN/EIN).
- **Metadata**: Invoice number, Date, Buyer's PO/Reference, Country of Origin, Final Destination.
- **Delivery & Terms**: Incoterm 2020 + Named Port/Place (e.g., `CIF Rotterdam Port, Incoterms® 2020`), Payment Terms (e.g., `LC at sight`, `Net 30 Days`).
- **Tabular Breakdown**: Item No, Description, HS/HSN Code, Qty, Unit, Unit Price, Total Amount.
- **Cost Summary**: FOB value + Freight + Insurance = Total CIF/CIP Invoice Value.
- **Statutory Endorsements & Signature Block**: Country-specific declarations + Authorized Signatory.

### 2. Packing List
- **Header & Traceability**: Linked to Commercial Invoice No & Date.
- **Package-by-Package Breakdown**: Box/Pallet No, Marks & Numbers, Package Dimensions ($L \times W \times H$ in cm/in), Net Weight (kg), Gross Weight (kg), Volume (CBM).
- **Summary Totals**: Total Packages, Total Net Weight, Total Gross Weight, Total Cubic Volume (CBM).
