## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability federal-register-customs-import-compliance-rule-changes-d9a1c09b
```

Example prompt: Pull all Federal Register customs and import compliance rule changes since January 1st 2025 that have a significance score of at least 7, and show me up to 50 results with their effective dates and source links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need scored, pre-filtered Federal Register customs and import compliance updates since a specific point in time, particularly when you want to triage rules by compliance impact (significance 1-10) rather than manually scanning the full Federal Register. Prefer it over raw Federal Register APIs when you need automatic relevance scoring and structured summaries ready for downstream compliance workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed `since` date-time format returns a 400 error
- No changes found in the specified window returns an empty changes array with count 0
- `min_significance` or `limit` values outside allowed ranges (1-10, 1-500) return validation errors
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Federal Register upstream source unavailable may return 503 or stale data

## How this service works

Federal Register final & proposed rules affecting customs & import compliance (U S Customs And Border Protection) since a timestamp — covering customs, country of origin, importer, entry, duty — each scored 1-10 for compliance impact, with effective dates and primary-source links.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of matching changes, the data source identifier, and an array of rule change objects — each with title, type, summary, significance score (1-10), effective date, detected-at timestamp, primary source URL, and a unique entity ID for further lookup.
