+              NOTE: To facilitate linking and alignment across internal and
+              external processes, many of the VCs modeled in this project are
+              labeled "process" VCs, meaning they refer to the internal
+              processes of a customs agency. Reusability here is likely minimal
+              compared to the rest of the vocabulary, but they are included for
+              informational purposes and to ensure they stay aligned with any
+              changes to the private-sector/logistics-industry data model being
+              consumed by those processes. These may also be less documented
+              than the product- and package- VCs, which correspond to
+              standardized data models in the logistics and shipping sector.
