## 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 freightgate-cfs-handling-tariffs-api-a42fd507 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: What are the CFS handling tariffs at Chennai port (INMAA) for import of general cargo?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need CFS handling tariff data for a specific port — particularly useful for Indian ports (INMAA, INMUN, etc.) — and want to filter by import/export service type or cargo type (general vs hazardous). Prefer this over the port local charges endpoint when specifically looking for CFS station handling fees rather than THC or documentation fees.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized UN/LOCODE port code returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported service type filter returns no matching tariffs
- Unsupported cargo type returns no matching tariffs
- Port has no CFS data available returns empty or null response
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
