Fixing US-Centric Bias in AI: Open-Sourcing Claude Trade Skills
Why AI gets export paperwork wrong (and how I fixed it) If you've ever tried using Claude or any AI tool to generate an export invoice or help with international tax rules, you've probably noticed it almost always defaults to US Customs, CBP forms, and EIN numbers. If you're exporting goods or software services from India, the UK, Europe, or the UAE, that's practically useless. In India…
Claude, an AI tool, frequently defaults to U.S.-centric export paperwork when attempting to generate invoices or assist with international tax rules. This issue hinders users from India, the UK, Europe, or the UAE from effectively using these AI tools. In India, small inaccuracies with Goods and Services Tax (GST) export rules, such as LUT filings, ICEGATE shipping bills, or Rule 96(10) duty-free restrictions, can delay refunds for months.
To address this, a free Claude Code plugin named "claude-trade-skills" was developed. This plugin brings accurate trade rules for various countries to AI. For India, it offers automated guidance on LUT (RFD-11), ICEGATE refund error fixes (SB001–SB006), and Rule 89(4) ITC calculations. Proper regional invoices are generated with real identifiers like IEC/GSTIN for India, EORI for UK/EU, and TRN for UAE. The plugin ensures zero hallucinations, meaning it never guesses tariff codes or customs exchange rates.
To install the plugin, users can use the command "/plugin marketplace add Om-Talaviya/claude-trade-skills". The plugin is open-source and available on GitHub under the MIT license: Om-Talaviya/claude-trade-skills. The developer invites feedback and contributions for formats of other countries.
