Gaps exist that AI will likely flag

Focus on VAT reconciliation, HS code verification

Remember: AI doesn’t care about intent — it cares about data consistency. If your customs declarations, platform sales, bank records, and VAT filings don’t match exactly, you will be flagged. The question isn’t “if” — it’s “when”. Use this checklist quarterly. Fix gaps before AI finds them.
