## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `check\_recall\_causes`: Top hazards, China-origin alert counts and share of published alerts by matching product category in UK OPSS and EU Safety Gate data windows, with supplier due-diligence questions and dated sources. Published alerts are not a product failure rate.
- `screen\_supplier\_name`: Possible English or Chinese name matches against UK Sanctions List entities, CN/HK US Consolidated Screening List entities and UFLPA entities, with match type and dated sources. Automated name check, not legal advice; a match needs manual review; no match is not clearance.
- `check\_export\_rebate\_change`: Changes in tracked Chinese export rebate announcements covering an HS code prefix, with announcement number, effective date and previous and new percentages. This historical announcement lookup is not the current rate.
- `find\_duty\_rate`: Use when the user asks what duty rate or commodity code applies to a product imported from China to the UK: finds the UK commodity code and import duty rate from a product description \(English or Chinese\) or a commodity code. Also flags codes where China-specific anti-dumping or countervailing duty
- `estimate\_landed\_cost`: Use when the user asks how much duty and VAT they will pay to import goods from China to the UK: estimates customs value, UK import duty, import VAT and the total, with the same arithmetic as the site's import duty calculator.
- `estimate\_container\_space`: Use when the user asks for the CBM of a shipment or how many containers a carton line needs: estimates CBM, shipment weight and volume-only 20ft/40ft/high-cube container counts from one carton line. Useful for full-container RFQ planning; not a loading simulation or a freight quote.
- `check\_anti\_dumping`: Check Chinese goods for trade defence duties. market defaults to uk: uses the live UK Trade Tariff, with no single rate because it depends on the exporter. market eu: searches the sourced EU snapshot by product keyword or CN code prefix and gives indicative ranges and EUR-Lex regulations. Always che
- `find\_uk\_compliance`: Use when the user asks which UK rules, markings or certificates a product imported from China needs: lists the UK regulatory regimes \(UKCA, WEEE, PSTI, toy safety, food contact, REACH, packaging EPR and others\) that apply to a type of product, with what to ask the supplier for. With no product\_type,
- `search\_guides`: Use for a question about importing from China to the UK that the other tools do not answer directly: searches Cambridge China Bridge's guides \(duty and VAT, shipping, Incoterms, suppliers, quality, compliance, sectors\). Returns each guide's one-sentence answer and URL.
- `check\_export\_market`: Use when the user asks about importing from China into a country other than the UK: for that destination country, says what actually decides whether an import from China can happen there: a standards regulator, a bank through exchange control, a local trade licence, the tax authority, a risk-based c
- `plan\_around\_chinese\_new\_year`: Use for any question about the latest date to order from China, a Chinese New Year \(Spring Festival, CNY\) shipping cutoff, or whether goods arrive in time around the holiday. Works backwards from the date stock is needed \(by sea, air or express\) to the order date, against the real factory shutdown r
- `compare\_sea\_and\_air`: Use when the user is choosing between air and sea freight from China: compares the two on total landed cost rather than on the freight quote, including duty charged on the freight itself, the cost of capital tied up in transit, and profit lost while stock is unavailable. Also returns the weekly lost
- `check\_china\_import\_rules`: Use when the user asks what it takes to export a UK product to China \(whisky, gin, biscuits, tea, chocolate, skincare, infant formula, pet food, cashmere, machinery and about 200 more\). Says what China requires: China Customs \(GACC\) manufacturer registration route, the import tariff and VAT, whether
- `get\_company\_facts`: Use when the user asks whether Cambridge China Bridge is legitimate or how it is paid: returns verifiable facts, namely UK company number and incorporation date \(with the Companies House link\), UK VAT number, registered office, trade-body membership, named UK service partners, public review profiles
- `get\_verification\_standard`: Returns the CCB Verification Standard v2.0, the published rules Cambridge China Bridge works to when it checks a Chinese supplier: the three levels \(desk check, factory audit, pre-shipment inspection\), each with the question it answers, method, price, report turnaround, validity, what is checked, th
- `submit\_enquiry`: Use only when the user has asked to contact Cambridge China Bridge or to get a quote: sends the user's sourcing enquiry or quote request to them by email, and they reply to the user directly. It sends only when user\_confirmed is true, meaning the user has seen exactly what will be sent and agreed. A
