Fixing US-Centric Bias in AI: Open-Sourcing Claude Trade Skills

Description and use

The claude-trade-skills plugin corrects AI’s US-centric export defaults by supplying accurate trade rules and identifiers for India, the UK, EU, and UAE, speeding refunds and ensuring compliance.

Problem

AI tools default to US customs and tax rules, making export documentation for India, UK, EU, and UAE inaccurate and potentially costly.

Outcome

Exporters in India, UK, EU, and UAE now receive accurate, compliant export documents from Claude, reducing refund delays and compliance risks.

Workflow

• 1. Install the plugin via the Claude marketplace: /plugin marketplace add Om-Talaviya/claude-trade-skills
• 2. Use Claude to generate export invoices or tax guidance; the plugin injects correct identifiers (IEC/GSTIN, EORI, TRN) and applies local rules (LUT, ICEGATE, Rule 89(4)).
• 3. Review the generated documents for compliance; the plugin ensures no hallucinated tariff codes or rates.

Evidence

To fix this, I built claude-trade-skills a free Claude Code plugin that brings country-accurate trade rules to AI
