Could you build this?

Partial The billing UI, reporting, and database structure are standard CRUD, but accurately modeling highly complex maritime and port tariff structures requires deep domain-specific customs, logistics, and port authority regulatory knowledge.

What it would actually take: A functioning port billing system needs a flexible rules engine (like Drools or a custom DSL) capable of evaluating layered maritime tariffs based on vessel dimensions, dwell times, tiered wharfage, hazardous cargo surcharges, and local statutory taxes. The challenge lies in translating dense legal and port authority tariff schedules into reliable deterministic calculation matrices and integrating with customs manifest systems (like EDIFACT/ASYCUDA).
