Tools as reported by the server

• 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 — identical inputs al
• 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, UPS) typically use 5,0
• 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 hint. Behavior: determini
• 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. Covers 2,939 entries acro
• 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 entries UN 0081/0082/0084/0
• 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 / icao / prefix / count
• 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 query; the optional type f
• 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, max_results (1-50, default 10)
• 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 entity type and carries t
• 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 container's record; omit it to
• 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, written with or witho
• 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). Provide code for one rule,
• 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 rows and columns — it do
• 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 6,000 divisor: m³ x 1
• 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, default road) and either
• 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). Provide code for an exact r
• 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 (typically 20%) appli
• 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, and UK duty estimate
• uld_lookup
  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
• vehicle_lookup
  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). Each record carries internal dimensions, payloa
• get_subscribe_link
  Return the FreightUtils pricing page URL with the Pro plan's request limit (50,000 per month) and price. Use when the user asks about FreightUtils plans, pricing or API limits. Behavior: static local response — no API call, never rate-limited, no account or payment action; the user opens the URL in
• adr_lq_eq_check
  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
• 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 | inland_waterway); optionally
• validate
  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-em
• ics2_check
  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 a
