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 — identical inputs a

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, UPS) typically use 5,0

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 hint. Behavior: determin

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. Covers 2,939 entries acro

Calculate ADR 1.1.3.6 "small load" exemption points for a dangerous-goods load. Each substance's transport category (0-4) sets a points multiplier (category 1 x50, 2 x3, 3 x1, 4 x0); points = quantity x multiplier, and a load totalling 1,000 points or less qualifies for reduced ADR requirements. Tra

Search 6,357 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 / icao / prefix / coun

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 query; the optional type

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, max_results (1-50, default 10)

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 container's record; omit it to

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, returns the code plu

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). Provide code for one rule

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, volume utilisation and weight capping. Behavior: deterministic geometric packing of one box size in aligned rows and columns — it does not model i

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 6,000 divisor, 1 CBM

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, default road) and eithe

Search 116,129 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). Provide code for an exact

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 (typically 20%) appli

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, and UK duty estimate

Look up air-cargo ULD (Unit Load Device) specifications — 16 types spanning lower-deck containers (AKE/LD3 and family), main-deck pallets (PMC, PAG and family) and temperature-controlled units. Each record carries external/internal/door dimensions (cm), tare and max gross weight (kg), usable volume

Look up road-freight vehicle and trailer specifications — 17 types: EU articulated trailers (standard/mega curtainsider, box, reefer, double-deck, flatbed, low-loader), US 53ft/48ft dry vans, rigid trucks (7.5-26 t) and vans (Luton, Transit, Sprinter).

Check whether dangerous goods qualify for ADR Limited Quantity (LQ, ADR 3.4) or Excepted Quantity (EQ, ADR 3.5) relief. LQ compares each item's per-inner-packaging quantity against that substance's LQ maximum; EQ resolves the substance's E-code (E0-E5) and checks the per-inner limit, plus the per-ou

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 | inland_waterway); optionally

Validate and parse freight identifiers by their public check-digit algorithms: shipping container numbers (ISO 6346), air waybill (AWB) numbers (IATA modulus-7) and IMO ship identification numbers. Two modes: pass text=<arbitrary string> to find and validate every identifier in it (e.g. a booking-e

Check a goods description against the official EU ICS2 stop-words list — terms the European Commission deems too vague or generic for an entry summary declaration (ENS) goods-description field (data element 18 05 000 000). Pass description=<goods description>. Behavior: deterministic term matching
