## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, actionable trade compliance information for a specific country and product category, particularly for market entry research, customs cost estimation, or regulatory pre-screening. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured fields (tariffs, certifications, restrictions, compliance steps) rather than free-text documents.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Overly broad or unrecognized product category may return no results or generic fallback
- Regulations data may be outdated if the underlying source hasn't been refreshed recently
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 micropayment may block the request
- Async job polling required if async:true is used — result not immediate
