## 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 shipping-logistics-calc-landed-cost-f20009e9
```

Example prompt: Calculate the landed cost per unit for a shipment of 10,000 units at $4.50 each, with $1,200 total freight, $150 insurance, 6.5% import duty on a CIF basis, and 20% VAT — also add $300 in brokerage fees.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a precise, itemized landed cost calculation for international goods — specifically when you need to distinguish between FOB and CIF duty bases, apply VAT/import tax on top of duty, and factor in freight, insurance, and broker fees per unit. Prefer this over manual spreadsheets or generic customs calculators when automating procurement or sourcing decisions at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (unitCost or units) returns a validation error
- Invalid dutyBasis value (not 'fob' or 'cif') may default to CIF or return error
- Negative or zero unit values may produce unexpected results
- Very large unit counts (above 100,000,000) are out of range
- Network or payment (x402) failure returns no response
