# pipeworx `trade-compliance` — Trade Compliance

## Coverage
Trade Compliance MCP — the two questions an importer asks that the tariff schedule alone cannot answer: how CBP has classified a product before (CROSS ruling letters), and whether an antidumping or countervailing duty applies from a given country (AD/CVD orders and Federal Register notices).

Catalog `tool_count`: 4. Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns.

## Access
MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/trade-compliance/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 40 tools: these 4 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists.

Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01):

- `cross_search` — Search CBP CROSS — the US Customs and Border Protection ruling letters database — for how Customs has classified a product before. Required: `query`.
- `cross_ruling` — Get one CBP CROSS customs ruling letter in full by its ruling number (e.g. "N305619" or "H301481", from cross_search). Required: `ruling_number`.
- `adcvd_orders` — US antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) trade-remedy orders — is there an import duty order in place on a product from a country. No required arguments.
- `adcvd_case` — Look up a specific US antidumping/countervailing duty case by its case number (A-570-979 style: letter A=antidumping or C=countervailing, 3-digit country code, 3-digit case code) or by a Federal Register document number. No required arguments.

Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-trade-compliance -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/trade-compliance/mcp`.

## Auth
Catalog `auth.shape`: `keyless`. Verbatim detail: "No key required — open upstream, callable as-is." No credential is needed at the gateway to list or call (anonymous tier; see the gateway record).

## Rate limits
Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog.

## Freshness
Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: not measured — catalog says treat as unknown, not good.

## Known gaps
- Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`.
- No catalog notes on cost or licence.
- This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself.
