## 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 sitecheck-trade-energy-incoterms-2020-compliance-checker-2d754b2f
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Incoterms 2020 responsibility matrix for FOB and check whether it's suitable for container shipping?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to quickly look up Incoterms 2020 obligations and risk allocation without parsing the full ICC rulebook. Ideal for trade compliance checks, contract review support, logistics planning, or training scenarios. Prefer this over generic web search when structured, machine-readable Incoterms data is needed, or when validating whether a specific rule is appropriate for a given transport mode.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized Incoterms rule code returns an error or empty result
- Unrecognized transport mode value for the mode parameter may be ignored or return an error
- No legal or ICC rule text is provided — output is a factual summary only, not authoritative legal advice

## How this service works

Incoterms 2020 responsibility matrix: for one rule (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF) or all 11, the transport modes it fits, where risk passes, and whether seller or buyer handles main carriage, loading, export and import clearance, import duties, unloading and insurance. Optional check flags a sea-only rule used for containers or non-sea transport. A factual summary, not the ICC rule text or legal advice.

## Output

A JSON object listing one or all Incoterms 2020 rules, each with: the rule code and name, where risk passes, applicable transport modes, and a breakdown of who (seller or buyer) is responsible for loading, main carriage, export clearance, import clearance, import duties, unloading, and insurance. If a transport mode was supplied, an optional modeCheck field flags whether the rule is appropriate for that mode, with an explanatory note if not.
