export
Enable an AI agent to recognise an export activity, assess its readiness and progress, and identify the evidence and authority needed for its next action.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Enable an AI agent to recognise an export activity, assess its readiness and progress, and identify the evidence and authority needed for its next action.
An export is a supply of goods or services from an economy to the rest of the world, identified through border movement or transactions between residents and nonresidents according to the statistical or administrative framework used.
It can be Classify a candidate activity as an export under an explicitly selected definition and identify missing evidence.; Map exporter, declarant, carrier and recipient responsibilities to the proposed supply.; Identify unresolved requirements and route authorisation decisions to the responsible party.; Reconcile contracted quantities and values with dispatched goods or delivered services.; Track outward supply separately from destination receipt, payment and administrative closure.; Record a return, cancellation or re-export without erasing the original activity..
Distinguishing features
An identified definition must place the supply across a relevant economic, territorial or customs boundary; domestic delivery alone does not establish export.
The activity is viewed from the outward-supplying side; the receiving side may classify the same transaction as an import.
Physical departure, change of ownership and supply between residents of different economies are recorded separately because different definitions may classify them differently.
An overseas customer address or foreign-currency invoice alone is insufficient evidence of export classification.
The exported subject is a good or service in this provisional scope, rather than a file or software symbol made available outside a system.
Scope
+ The goods or services supplied, their origin and destination, and the basis for classifying the activity as an export
+ Exporter, recipient, intermediaries and their responsibilities for the outward supply
+ Commercial arrangements, delivery commitments and payment conditions attached to the export
+ Applicable export requirements, authorisations and supporting evidence
+ Movement or service delivery, declaration where applicable, and evidence of completion
+ Returns, cancellations, temporary movements and re-export classifications
- Software data export, file conversion and programming-language export declarations
- Import clearance and domestic distribution in the destination economy
- Production of the exported goods or performance methods for the underlying service
- General trade policy and economy-wide export statistics
- Standalone transport operations and financial products beyond their role in this export
Characteristics
- Export classification basis
- customs movement | economic ownership or residency | service supply | other specified basis | unresolved Determines which facts establish an export and what evidence can substantiate the classification.
- Exported subject
- Identified goods, consignments or service deliverables, with applicable classifications Connects obligations and completion evidence to precisely what is being supplied.
- Origin and destination
- Origin and destination economies or territories, plus transit locations where relevant Separates the export boundary from intermediate routing and the recipient's address.
- Export treatment
- permanent | temporary | re-export | return | other specified treatment | unresolved Distinguishes activities with different expected outcomes and closure evidence.
- Party responsibility
- Assignments of supplier, exporter, declarant, carrier, recipient and payment responsibilities Identifies who can provide evidence, authorise action or resolve a blocker.
- Export quantity
- Goods in declared physical units; services in contract-defined delivery units Allows planned, dispatched, delivered and returned amounts to be reconciled.
- Export value
- Amount and currency, with valuation basis, valuation date and included costs Prevents invoice, declared and statistical values from being treated as interchangeable.
- Authorisation readiness
- unassessed | requirements identified | evidence incomplete | ready under recorded requirements | blocked | expired Supports a bounded readiness judgement tied to specific requirements and dates.
- Execution status
- planned | committed | partly supplied | outward supply evidenced | cancelled | returned | disputed Distinguishes intention, actual supply and subsequent reversal.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 11 layers · 18 findings · 28 questions.
Export sense and boundary Establishes which meaning of export applies and what event qualifies under it.
The registry lacks a definition, and physical movement, economic supply and software export must not be conflated.
Classification framework
Records the chosen export definition and its authority.
Qualifying export event
The model needs an explicit test for the event that makes this activity an export.
- Does the applicable definition turn on physical departure, economic ownership, party residency, service supply or another event? definition
- Which authority or reporting framework supplies that definition, and which version is being used? provenance
Territories and special treatments
Separates the relevant export boundary from routing and special movement categories.
Boundary and treatment
Origin, destination, transit and the intended permanence of the supply must be distinguishable.
- Which economic or customs boundary is crossed, and which locations are only transit points? boundary
- Is this a permanent supply, temporary movement, re-export or return, and what evidence supports that treatment? definition
Export subject and commercial commitment Identifies what is supplied and the commitments governing that supply.
Export assessment depends on the actual goods or services and assigned obligations, not merely the presence of a foreign buyer.
Goods and service identification
Connects export classification and evidence to identifiable supply units.
Identifiable export subject
The model must distinguish goods, service deliverables and mixed supplies at the level needed for assessment.
- Which goods, batches or service deliverables constitute this export, and how are they identified? definition
- What classification has been assigned to each subject, by whom, and with what supporting description? provenance
Parties and delivery terms
Records the commitments that allocate export work and commercial responsibility.
Responsibility allocation
Supplier, exporter, declarant and carrier roles need explicit assignments rather than inference from the invoice.
- Who is responsible for outward formalities, carriage, delivery evidence and payment collection? action
- Which contract and delivery terms establish the delivery point and the allocation of costs and risk? provenance
Export permission and restrictions Organises the requirements that must be assessed before the proposed outward supply proceeds.
An export's permissibility can depend on the subject, parties, destination, intended use and timing.
Requirement applicability
Links potential requirements to the facts that make them applicable.
Export requirement determination
Each requirement needs an applicability decision supported by a current source and relevant transaction facts.
- Which requirements apply to this subject, destination, recipient and intended end use on the proposed supply date? boundary
- Which authoritative sources and reviewed facts support each applicability decision? provenance
Authorisation coverage
Tests whether recorded permissions cover the actual proposed export.
Permission and condition coverage
The existence of an authorisation must be distinguished from its coverage of these goods or services, parties, quantities and dates.
- Where an authorisation is required, does its scope and validity cover this proposed supply and all attached conditions? boundary
- Which unmet condition blocks the next step, and who has authority to resolve it? action
Outward supply and evidence Tracks execution and the evidence that the qualifying export event occurred.
Booking transport, issuing an invoice and actually completing an outward supply are different events.
Goods departure
Connects physical consignments and outward formalities to the goods being exported.
Consignment departure evidence
For goods, evidence should identify which quantities departed and how they relate to the intended export.
- Which quantities departed, from where and when, and which transport or departure records establish this? measurement
- Where an outward declaration is required, how is it linked to the actual consignment and its departure evidence? provenance
Service supply
Captures qualifying service delivery where a physical border event may not establish export.
Service export evidence
Service exports need evidence of supply and the relationship between provider and recipient under the chosen definition.
- What deliverable or performance event establishes that the service was supplied, and to what extent? measurement
- What evidence establishes the provider and recipient locations or residency needed by the selected export definition? provenance
Export reconciliation and closure Reconciles the supply with its recorded value, commercial outcome and later adjustments.
An evidenced export can remain unpaid, partly delivered or subject to return and reporting corrections.
Quantity, value and payment
Keeps supply measures, valuation bases and payment outcomes separately assessable.
Export account reconciliation
Differences among contracted, supplied, invoiced, declared and paid amounts require explanation.
- How do contracted and supplied quantities compare, and how are differences between invoice and other recorded export values explained? measurement
- What payment remains outstanding, and does it affect a remaining supply commitment or only commercial settlement? action
Reversals and completion
Records what completion means and how subsequent events change the export record.
Closure and adjustment
Closure criteria must preserve distinctions between outward supply, recipient acceptance, settlement and administrative obligations.
- Which completion criteria have been met, and which delivery, payment or reporting obligations remain open? boundary
- If goods return or the supply is cancelled or corrected, which records and obligations must be updated while retaining the original event? action
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
A model that cannot be lined up against existing standards, identifiers and practice cannot be adopted by anyone who already uses them.

- import - Records the inward side of international supply from the receiving economy's perspective.
- re-export - A narrower category involving goods previously imported and subsequently exported without substantial transformation.
- transit - Goods pass through a territory without necessarily becoming an import or export of that economy.
- foreign direct investment - Establishes a lasting investment relationship in a foreign enterprise rather than itself constituting a supply of goods or services.
- data export - Transfers or converts data out of a software system; this computing sense does not require international trade.
- Which of these neighbouring kinds and how to tell them apart hold for the sense of export this model covers, and on what evidence? provenance
What the second pass must settle
- Does vr.tr.export mean international trade export, or does its registry provenance identify a computing or other sense?
- Should the authoritative scope include both goods and services, and which customs and economic definitions must be represented?
- Does an existing world model already own this export concept, requiring a registry link instead of a separate publication?
- How should transit, processing abroad, temporary movements and supplies without a sale be classified under the selected frameworks?
- What evidence thresholds should establish export completion for goods and different service supply modes?
