    }

    # Space utilization
    total_storage = sum(location.capacity for zone in layout.zones for location in zone.locations)
    utilized_storage = sum(location.occupied for zone in layout.zones for location in zone.locations)
    metrics['space_utilization'] = utilized_storage / total_storage

    # Pick rate (lines per hour)
    total_picks = len(picking_data)
    total_hours = picking_data.total_time / 60
    metrics['pick_rate_per_hour'] = total_picks / total_hours

    return metrics
```

    # 1. Initial assignment (clustering first)
    clusters = cluster_orders_by_location(orders)

    # 2. Route construction (TSP with constraints)
    routes = []
    for cluster in clusters:
        route = solve_tsp_with_time_windows(cluster, constraints)
        routes.append(route)

    # 3. Dynamic optimization
    while has_updates(traffic, orders):
        # Re-optimize affected routes
        affected_routes = identify_affected_routes(traffic_updates)
        for route in affected_routes:
            optimized = reoptimize_route(route, traffic_updates)

# Global Logistics & Trade Management

## International Trade Compliance

### Customs & Tariff Management

**Harmonized System (HS) Code Classification**:

```python
# HS Code Classification Logic

def determine_hs_code(product_description, product_attributes):
    """
    Determine appropriate HS code for customs classification
    """
    # HS Code structure: XXXX.XX.XX.XX
    # Chapter (4 digits) -> Heading (2 digits) -> Subheading (2 digits) -> Statistical suffix (2 digits)

    classification_rules = {
        'textiles': {
            'chapters': [50-63],  # HS chapters for textiles
            'factors': ['material_composition', 'weight', 'weave_type']
        },
        'electronics': {
            'chapters': [84, 85],  # HS chapters for electronics
            'factors': ['function', 'components', 'power_rating']
        },
        'automotive': {
            'chapters': [87],  # HS chapters for vehicles
            'factors': ['vehicle_type', 'engine_size', 'passenger_capacity']
        }
    }

    # Classification logic using product attributes
    # Returns HS code and applicable duty rates

    pass
```

### Free Trade Agreement Optimization

**FTAs and Their Impact**:

| Agreement | Coverage | Average Duty Reduction |
|-----------|----------|------------------------|
| RCEP | APAC 15 countries | 90% eliminated over 20 years |
| USMCA | North America | 75% eliminated immediately |
| EU Single Market | EU 27 | 100% eliminated |
| CPTPP | 11 countries | 99% eliminated over time |

**Rules of Origin**:
- Substantial transformation test
- Regional value content (RVC) calculation
- Tariff shift rules
- Accumulation provisions
