Verify shipping documentation.

Verify shipping documentation. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 4 occupations and seen in 5 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Examine materials or documentation for accuracy or compliance. in Evaluating Information to Determine Compliance with Standards .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 5 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 4 (80%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

The Anthropic Economic Index observes real AI use on 1 of these tasks, with a mean mapped-usage share of 0.004% per task.

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Check mail to ensure correct postage and that packages and letters are in proper condition for mailing. · Postal Service Clerks · importance 4.5 · exposure with tools
• Check items to ensure that addresses are legible and correct, that sufficient postage has been paid or the appropriate documentation is attached, and that items are in a suitable condition for processing. · Postal Service Mail Sorters, Processors, and Processing Machine Operators · importance 4.5 · no direct exposure
• Verify that items are addressed correctly, marked with the proper postage, and in suitable condition for processing. · Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service · importance 4.3 · exposure with tools
• Verify proper packaging and labeling of exported goods. · Freight Forwarders · importance 4.1 · exposure with tools
• Check import or export documentation to determine cargo contents and use tariff coding system to classify goods according to fee or tariff group. · Cargo and Freight Agents · importance 3.3 · direct LLM exposure
