## 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-uk-global-tariff-commodity-lookup-02e12fb1
```

Example prompt: Look up UK Global Tariff commodity code 0901110000 for me — I need the description, chapter, whether it's declarable, and the basic duty rate.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, structured UK Global Tariff data for a specific 10-digit commodity code — particularly for commodity description, chapter classification, validity date confirmation, and declarable status. It is ideal for logistics, compliance, and customs automation workflows that already know the commodity code. It does not expand full duty measures per trading partner, so if detailed bilateral duty schedules are needed, a more comprehensive tariff API would be required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-leaf 10-digit code returns an error or empty result
- Code exists but is not declarable — declarable flag will be false
- basicDutyRate may be null when the upstream API does not supply it
- Upstream UK Trade Tariff API downtime causes request failure
- Non-existent commodity codes return a 404 or error response

## How this service works

UK Global Tariff commodity lookup by 10-digit commodity code from the official UK Trade Tariff API: description, chapter, validity dates, declarable flag and basic duty rate (null when the API leaves it empty). Full duty measures per trading partner are not expanded.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the 10-digit commodity code, official description (plain text and formatted), chapter number, validity start and end dates, a boolean declarable flag, the basic duty rate (may be null if not specified by the API), a link to the source on the UK Trade Tariff service, the timestamp of the check, and a URL for binding ruling guidance.
