Do you really need that 100 line dependency or can you just write it yourself?

Do you really need that 10k line package just to call a couple of 20 line utility functions?

Often these sites are just a scam in the sense that they add an unnecessary fee on top of the CBP fee that you would avoid if you went directly to the US gov website. Hopefully it's not an identity theft scam too 🤞
