## 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-us-customs-broker-verify-7e4b59bb
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether 'CH Robinson' is on the CBP official permitted customs broker list, and if so give me their filer code and contact details?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify whether a specific company holds a valid US customs broker national permit as listed by CBP, or when you need to retrieve official CBP contact details (filer code, phone, email) for a broker. It is the authoritative source for national permit status. Prefer this over general business databases when the specific question is 'is this entity a CBP-licensed customs broker?'

## Known failure modes

- No brokers found matching the query — 'listed' returns false and brokers array is empty
- Invalid filer code format returns no results
- State code not recognized if not a valid two-letter US abbreviation
- CBP source list unavailable or stale — checkedAt timestamp may be outdated
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–100)

## How this service works

Check a US customs broker against U.S. Customs and Border Protection's official Permitted Customs Broker Listing: filer code, broker name, city, state, work phone and e-mail where CBP lists them. Search by name, by 3-character filer code, or list a state. A broker missing from the list holds no national permit on CBP's page; individual licence numbers are not published there.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: the query parameters used, a boolean indicating if any brokers matched, the CBP source URL, an array of matching brokers (each with filer code, name, city, state, phone, email), the count of matches, a timestamp of when CBP's list was checked, and the total number of brokers on the full CBP list.
