• cbm_calculator

  Calculate cubic metres (CBM) for a shipment from per-piece dimensions. CBM is the standard volume unit in international shipping: 1 CBM = 1m x 1m x 1m = 1,000 litres, and ocean freight prices per "freight tonne" (1 CBM or 1,000 kg, whichever is greater). Behavior: deterministic…

• chargeable_weight_calculator

  Calculate air freight chargeable weight — the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, which is what airlines bill. Volumetric weight (kg) = (L x W x H in cm) / divisor; the IATA-standard divisor is 6,000 (1 CBM = 166.67 kg), while express integrators (DHL, FedEx…

• ldm_calculator

  Calculate loading metres (LDM) for European road freight — how much trailer length a pallet load occupies. 1 LDM = 1 linear metre of a 2.4m-wide trailer; a standard artic is 13.6 LDM. Provide a pallet preset OR custom length_mm + width_mm — omitting both errors with a usage…

• adr_lookup

  Look up European road dangerous-goods (ADR 2025) reference data for a substance: hazard class, classification code, packing group, labels, special provisions, limited/excepted quantities, transport category, tunnel restriction code and Kemler (hazard identification) number…

• adr_exemption_calculator

  Calculate ADR 1.1.3.6 "small load" exemption points for a dangerous-goods load and say whether it qualifies. Each substance's transport category (Table A column (15), 0-4) sets a points multiplier (1.1.3.6.4: category 1 x50, 2 x3, 3 x1, 4 x0; the nine ADR 1.1.3.6.3 note-a…

• airline_lookup

  Search 6,356 airlines by name, IATA code, ICAO code, AWB prefix, or country. AWB prefixes are the first 3 digits of an air waybill number and identify the issuing carrier (e.g. 176 = Emirates). Provide ONE parameter: query is a ranked fuzzy search across names and codes; iata /…

• airport_lookup

  Look up an airport by IATA code (3 letters, e.g. "LHR"), ICAO code (4 chars, e.g. "EGLL"), or free-text name/city search (e.g. "heathrow"). Covers 85,555 airports worldwide (OurAirports, public domain, cross-checked vs OpenFlights + Wikidata). Provide ONE of iata, icao, or…

• nearest_airport

  Find the airports nearest to a caller-provided latitude/longitude, sorted by great-circle (haversine) distance with distance_km on each result. Searches 85,555 airports (OurAirports, public domain). Provide latitude and longitude (decimal degrees); optional radius_km…

• resolve_reference

  Resolve an arbitrary freight identifier — one opaque string in, typed and cited candidates out. Use when you hold one identifier-ish token ("176", "UN1845", "NLRTM", "FOB", "22G1", "MSKU1100810", "D/E") and do not know what kind of identifier it is: each candidate names its…

• container_lookup

  Get ISO shipping-container specifications, with optional load-fit maths. Covers 10 types: 20ft/40ft standard, 40ft and 45ft high-cube, 20ft/40ft reefer, 20ft/40ft open-top and 20ft/40ft flat-rack. Provide type as a slug (e.g. "20ft-standard", "40ft-high-cube") for one…

• hs_code_lookup

  Search 6,940 WCO Harmonized System (HS 2022) commodity codes — the 6-digit international customs classification layer. The first 2 digits are the chapter, 4 the heading, 6 the subheading. Provide ONE of: query (free-text description search, min 2 chars), code (2-6 digit lookup…

• incoterms_lookup

  Look up the 11 Incoterms 2020 trade rules — who pays for transport, insurance and customs clearance, and where risk transfers from seller to buyer. 7 rules work for any transport mode (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP); 4 are sea/inland-waterway only (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF)…

• pallet_fitting_calculator

  Calculate how many identical boxes fit on a pallet: boxes per layer (trying 90-degree rotation when allowed), layer count within the max height, totals, footprint and volume utilisation, and weight capping. Behavior: deterministic geometric packing of one box size in aligned…

• unit_converter

  Convert freight and logistics units: weight (kg, lbs, oz, tonnes, short_tons, long_tons), volume (cbm, cuft, cuin, litres, gal_us, gal_uk), length (cm, inches, m, feet, mm), plus two freight-specific targets valid only FROM cbm — chargeable_kg (air volumetric weight at the IATA…

• consignment_calculator

  Calculate per-line and grand totals for a multi-item mixed consignment: CBM, loading metres (LDM), volumetric weight, and the mode-specific chargeable figure (air chargeable weight, sea revenue tonnes, road LDM), plus objective advisory flags. Provide mode (sea | air | road…

• unlocode_lookup

  Search 116,232 UN/LOCODE transport locations worldwide — ports, airports, rail and road terminals, inland container depots and border crossings. Codes are 5 characters: a 2-letter ISO country code + a 3-character location code (GBLHR = London Heathrow, NLRTM = Rotterdam)…

• uk_duty_calculator

  Estimate UK import duty and VAT for a commodity code using the LIVE GOV.UK Trade Tariff — rates are fetched per request, not from a static table. The CIF value is composed from customs_value + freight_cost + insurance_cost; duty = CIF x the duty rate for the origin country; VAT…

• shipment_summary

  Composite shipment analysis in one call: volume (CBM), gross and chargeable weight, road LDM with pallet spaces and a vehicle suggestion (road mode), volumetric weight (air), revenue tonnes with a container suggestion (sea), dangerous-goods presence for items carrying un_number…

• uld_lookup

• emissions_calculator

  Estimate freight transport greenhouse-gas emissions (kgCO2e) for a shipment leg, per ISO 14083:2023 / GLEC Framework v3.2: emissions = mass x distance x a published emission-intensity factor (kgCO2e/tonne-km). Provide mass + distance_km + mode (road | rail | sea | air |…

• validate
