## Tools
- cbm_calculator - Calculate cubic metres (CBM) for a shipment. CBM is the standard volume unit in international shipping. 1 CBM = 1m x 1m x 1m = 1,000 litres. Ocean freight carriers price per "freight tonne" (1 CBM or 1,000 kg, whichever is greater). Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- chargeable_weight_calculator - Calculate air freight chargeable weight (volumetric vs actual). Airlines charge the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight. IATA standard factor: 6,000 (1 CBM = 166.67 kg). A ratio > 1.0 means volumetric (light for its size). Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- ldm_calculator - Calculate loading metres (LDM) for road freight. LDM measures trailer utilisation. European trailers are 13.6m long, 2.4m wide. Supports pallet presets (euro, uk, half, quarter) and vehicles (artic, rigid10, rigid75, luton). Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- adr_lookup - Look up dangerous goods from the ADR 2025 database (2,939 entries). Provide a UN number for exact lookup, or a search term for name-based search. Returns hazard class, packing group, labels, tunnel codes, and transport categories. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- adr_exemption_calculator - Calculate ADR 1.1.3.6 exemption. Points = quantity x multiplier per transport category. Total <= 1,000 = exempt from full ADR requirements. For single substance: provide un_number + quantity. For mixed loads: provide items array. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- airline_lookup - Search 6,352 airlines by name, IATA/ICAO code, AWB prefix, or country. AWB prefixes are 3-digit codes on air waybills identifying the carrier (e.g., 176 = Emirates). Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- container_lookup - Get ISO shipping container specs (10 types: 20ft, 40ft, 40ft HC, reefer, open-top, flat-rack, 45ft). Returns dimensions, capacity, weight limits, and pallet counts. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- hs_code_lookup - Search 6,940 Harmonized System tariff codes. HS codes are 6-digit international product classification codes used for customs. Provide a search term or exact code. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- incoterms_lookup - Look up Incoterms 2020 trade rules. 11 rules defining transport, insurance, customs responsibilities. 7 for any mode (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP), 4 sea-only (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF). Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- pallet_fitting_calculator - Calculate how many boxes fit on a pallet with layers, rotation, and weight limits. Determines optimal arrangement and volume utilisation. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- unit_converter - Convert between freight units. Weight: kg, lbs, oz, tonnes, short_tons, long_tons. Volume: cbm, cuft, cuin, litres, gal_us, gal_uk. Length: cm, inches, m, feet, mm. Freight: cbm→chargeable_kg, cbm→freight_tonnes. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- consignment_calculator - Calculate total CBM, weight, LDM, and chargeable weight for multi-item mixed consignments. Accepts multiple line items with different dimensions, weights, and stackability. Returns per-item breakdown, grand totals, trailer utilisation, and suggested vehicle. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- unlocode_lookup - Search 116,129 UN/LOCODE transport locations worldwide. Covers seaports, airports, rail terminals, road terminals, inland clearance depots, and border crossings. Search by location name, code (e.g. GBLHR), country, or function type. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- uk_duty_calculator - Estimate UK import duty and VAT for a commodity code and origin country. Uses live GOV.UK Trade Tariff data. Returns CIF value, duty rate/amount, VAT rate/amount, total import taxes, and total landed cost. Flags preferential rates and import restrictions. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- shipment_summary - Composite shipment summary — chains CBM, weight, LDM/volumetric/W&M, ADR compliance, and UK duty estimation into one response. Accepts multiple items with a transport mode (road/air/sea/multimodal). Returns per-mode calculations, DG compliance flags, and customs estimates. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- uld_lookup - Look up air freight ULD (Unit Load Device) specs. 16 types including AKE (LD3), PMC, PLA, and special units. Returns dimensions, weights, volume, aircraft compatibility, and deck position. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp

- get_subscribe_link - Get the URL where the user can subscribe to FreightUtils Pro for higher API limits. Use this when the user asks how to upgrade, hits a rate limit, or asks about pricing. Returns the URL where the user can subscribe via web — agents must NOT attempt to complete the subscription themselves. Endpoint: https://www.freightutils.com/api/mcp
- adr_lq_eq_check - Check if dangerous goods qualify for ADR Limited Quantity (LQ) or Excepted Quantity (EQ) exemptions. LQ allows reduced requirements for small quantities per inner packaging (ADR 3.4). EQ applies to very small quantities (ADR 3.5, codes E1-E5). Checks multiple items at once.
