Some parts already being automated with AI, many systems in place that avoid human interaction, main issues now are missing entry information ie HTS codes or OGA data-emails to ascertain that could be pretty easily automated too.

Reasonable care standard for customs. AI probably will be integrated to customs but a regulatory employee will need to sign off on any decision.
