  Customs advisory services help importers, exporters, and trade professionals
  navigate complex customs regulations, tariff classifications, valuation
  rulings, country-of-origin determinations, free trade agreement
  qualification, and trade compliance obligations. Advisory services span
  licensed customs brokers, trade attorneys, the Big Four professional
  services firms, specialized trade consultancies, and the rulings and
  guidance issued by national customs authorities such as U.S. Customs and
  Border Protection (CBP), the World Customs Organization (WCO), and the
  European Commission's Taxation and Customs Union. APIs in this space are
  generally embedded in larger trade compliance platforms, global trade
  management (GTM) suites, and customs broker software rather than offered
  as standalone products.
