1. search_customs_nomenclature

Performs BM25 sub-5ms full-text search across 25,800+ official statutory commodity descriptions (English & French).

• Parameters:
  • query (string, required): Commodity description or keyword (e.g. electric motors, accumulateurs lithium, drones).
  • limit (integer, optional): Maximum results (1-50, default 5).

2. resolve_hs_code

Traverses the customs tariff tree starting from an international 6-digit Harmonized System (HS6) pivot code or exact TARIC 10-digit code prefix.

• Parameters:
  • code (string, required): 2 to 10-digit code prefix (e.g. 850440 for static converters/inverters).

🌐 Sino-European HS6 Pivot

The 6-digit Harmonized System (HS6) is universally shared between China's GACC export nomenclature and the European Union's TARIC system. CustomsBridge uses HS6 as a deterministic cross-border pivot to resolve European import tariffs directly from Chinese commercial proformas.
