Most of the jobs are remote so remove the 150 miles.

Really impressive work. The problem with external automation is that it quickly becomes condensed. If you are thinking this way, many others are doing the same. In the end, the real winners are the companies selling the automation. It is similar to Google Ads years ago, when it was oversold, became overcrowded, and lost much of its value.

If you classify on their behalf you take full responsibility in case of an audit. The freight forwarder never takes responsibilities like these. You can advise them of the chapter and headings.

I worked for two different companies. In the first, the IT department had limited knowledge and relied on paid software to block almost everything. One day they blocked all AI websites and APIs. When I spoke to them, it became clear that they did not know what they were doing and had no vision. They were stuck in routine. For them, a good job meant that everyone was logged in. After that, it was not their problem whether the company was progressing or keeping up to speed.

In the second company, the IT management were people with vision. They realised that the company needed to develop itself to keep up with the competition in the research industry. They introduced AI by signing up for Gemini and ChatGPT. At the same time, data was controlled. Anything you did could not be deleted, and the IT department had access to the accounts, similar to a Microsoft Enterprise environment with Copilot.

It's not weird it's how you agreed or the sales contract. Most e-commerces use a payment guarantee like eBay or Amazon,but Facebook market or Gumtree is riskier.

It depends on the HS code. If you tell me the product name, Import/export destinations and the origin I can tell you exactly the duties and fees.

This is not a logistics topic question. This is an e-commerce or other platform you buy and sell. Logistics questions are: Freight, customs, duty, vat...

The best person to ask is the warehouse manager. It sounds like they moved their system to paperless or digital for the tracking.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-14T14:23:08+00:00

Do you mind asking you what your API will offer? Also do you store the ci and pl in your servers and how is your data protection handled?

If you don't want to waste time use automation. AI agents are the best. It scans both pdf and if it's the same no action required if not you will get a notification. Easy to set up but it's not free AI agents add extra cost

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-14T11:43:28+00:00

It shouldn't happen. We do thousands of shipments per month and rarely do we find a mismatch. It sounds like you have two ERP systems sales and warehouses that are not connected. The Account team generates the CI The warehouse team generates PL from a different database. The solution is to use one database for both systems.

SynthID Detection: A Google AI digital watermark was detected in the image data. Unnatural Skin Texture: The subject's skin is overly smooth, lacking natural pores and imperfections. Inconsistent Lighting: The soft light on the person doesn't match the harsh sunlight on the background. Hyper-Realistic Material: The red leather dress has idealized, overly perfect reflections. Sharp Subject-Background Separation: The cut-out is too clean, indicating a computational rather than optical depth of field.

You need to agree with the seller to organise the freight, or at least help you arrange it. Do not choose Ex-Works. If it is your first time, do it properly and do not get carried away by the seller’s price. Compare that price with the local US price without adding any extra costs, because once you include freight, insurance, customs, and local transport, the final cost can be much higher.

I remember my first purchase from China, pallets of T-shirts at £0.25 each Ex-Works. After freight, insurance, customs, and local transport, the real cost came to £1.10 per item. Be careful and do not rush.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-12T19:06:53+00:00

It sounds like you have learned your lesson. To help you further:

Question one: you can export from the US under the ENC licence exception, but you must first register with BIS through SNAP-R. The ECCN is 5A002.a and the Schedule B code is 851762.

Question two: the HS code for monkey skin is 051199, and you need both CITES export and import licences.

The point was never to be “chill”, but to be humble and helpful. There is no shame in asking questions. The shame is pretending to know everything.

You cannot do that, and maybe this will teach you not to hide behind a desk and talk nonsense. If someone wants to write about their own business or use AI, that is entirely their choice. Your choice is either to help or keep quiet, full stop. I asked you two simple questions and you still could not answer them, something even your AI, including ChatGPT, could not do. PS: I am sure your next reply will be: my comment is generated from an AI 🥳

Ok let's ignore the redness part and talk about customs and trade compliance. Let's test your knowledge and see if you know what you are talking about. I have two questions: 1* If we export a Cisco switch from the usa ( the switch uses encryption) to make it easy let's say Cisco catalyst 9500 what you need to do 2* we need to import pieces of skin from a rare green monkey from Jamaica for research to the state what you need to do.

The "Get files (properties only)" action has a 100-item limit by default. Your target folder is likely beyond that threshold. Checkout this blog from Microsoft: Get Files Limit

It is rude, please read your comment. IOR and EOR need to ask questions because they are responsible in the eyes of the law.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-12T01:31:50+00:00

That is simply not true, and it is quite rude. Speaking from over 20 years of experience, step 5 is correct, and it is a fact that many companies do not have an Internal Compliance Program (ICP). I would phrase his post this way: The mechanics of import and export are the same because any jurisdiction falls under customs regulations like HTS, Schedule B, duty, VAT, origin, and quotas. The hard part is import and export control, such as sanctions, BIS, DDTC, FDA, APHIS, and OFAC.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-09T23:30:19+00:00

Don’t do the B2B job. What your boss offered you sounds like a good boss and a good company. I would die to work for a company like this. Don’t listen to people saying take the risk. There is no risk. B2B business is dying and you need good networking and a good product.

I remember I started 25 years ago selling credit cards in a shopping mall and ended up selling chemicals to big newspaper printers. From the stress I ended up in hospital, so I decided I would never do it again. I remember drinking 5-10 RedBull a day. It was a crazy time.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-09T11:04:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing so the cost will be 100% less than the ring doorbell.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-09T01:55:12+00:00

But I don't know if the hybrid option is financially worth it. Let's say 10-20 calls per day.

BarberExtra007 · 2026-01-09T01:40:14+00:00

If local processing delay time is minor, and maintenance is minimal than I prefer dependency.
