## 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 tradepulse-nearshoring-reshoring-advisor-58a82012
```

Example prompt: We currently manufacture electronics in China and sell into the US market — can you give me a ranked list of nearshoring alternatives with tariff comparisons, labor costs, and a transition roadmap, plus flag which options qualify for USMCA or other FTAs?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to evaluate supply-chain relocation decisions — specifically when the user wants a multi-country comparison with tariff differentials, labor cost benchmarks, FTA/USMCA eligibility, and an actionable transition plan. Prefer over generic tariff lookup endpoints when the goal is strategic manufacturing location optimization rather than a single-country rate query.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid HS code returns an error requiring a valid 6-digit HS code
- Unsupported product category returns no results
- Ambiguous country of origin may produce incomplete tariff comparisons
- API returns 402 Payment Required if USDC payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate-limited requests return 429 with retry guidance
