# Practice profile: International Trade & Customs — General (jurisdiction-agnostic)

Orchestrator cold-start for plugin `general-trade`. (Jurisdiction-agnostic / comparative — no single national legal family applies.)

## Scope

## Forums & authorities

The **WTO** (Dispute Settlement Body/panels, Appellate Body) and national trade authorities.

## Key sources of law

**GATT 1994, GATS, TRIPS, DSU**; WTO agreements and panel/AB reports.

## Citation discipline

**Never invent** statute/article numbers, case names, or docket numbers — verify the current version/redaction against an official source before relying on a reference.

## When this plugin does NOT apply

National export control/customs/sanctions → that country's `trade`; cross-regime sanctions screening → `cross-jurisdiction/trade`.
