    A model first checks whether an item is about U.S. or Canadian import compliance, export controls or sanctions and whether it carries anything actionable, then writes a headline, a summary and what it means for importers. FR citations, CSMS numbers, Customs Notice numbers, case numbers and tariff codes are kept exactly as in the source. Marketing copy and second-hand restatements with nothing new do not get in.
