## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 7 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1229 tokens (~175/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (7)

### `list_catalog` (~109 tokens)

FREE. Directory of everything CustomsWise can answer, and how much expert-verified content is available right now. Returns, per category — classification support, import duty & VAT, restrictions/sanctions, preferential origin, special procedures, and the natural-language FAQ — the count of verified entries, the tool that serves it and its price, plus supported languages (en/it). Call this FIRST to discover the paid tools and confirm verified content exists before spending. All answers are reviewed by a licensed customs professional.

### `classify_product` (~200 tokens)

Expert-verified EU/Italy customs classification support. Give a plain-language product description and get the likely HS/CN tariff heading orientation, the classification reasoning/notes, and any import-restriction flags — reviewed and signed by a licensed customs professional. Use it before shipping cross-border to avoid a wrong HS code, which causes fines, seized goods and back-duties. Guidance only, NOT a legally binding Tariff Information (BTI/ITV); genuinely ambiguous cases are flagged for expert escalation. Cost: $0.50 per call, paid automatically via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402).

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Response language: 'en' (default) or 'it'.
- `q` (string): Plain-language description of the product to classify — include material, function and form for a better match, e.g. 'stainless steel vacuum flask with plastic lid' or 'men's cotton knitted t-shirt'.

### `get_tariff` (~206 tokens)

Expert-verified import duty and Italian import VAT for any EU HS/CN code. Returns the practitioner-verified third-country duty where available; for every other valid code it still returns the normalized/validated code, the applicable Italian import VAT rate, and a direct deep link to the official EU TARIC page — so you always get a usable answer. Use it to estimate landed cost or confirm the duty on a classified good. Duty rates change over time, so treat this as reference, not a binding ruling. Cost: $0.25 per call, paid automatically via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402). Example code: '6109100010'.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string): HS/CN tariff code to look up (6-10 digits; spaces or dots allowed), e.g. '6109 10 00' or '8471300000'.
- `lang` (string): Response language: 'en' (default) or 'it'.

### `check_restrictions` (~179 tokens)

Expert-verified EU import/export restriction screening. Give a product, HS code or country and get known prohibitions, licence/authorisation requirements, sanctions exposure and dual-use flags, reviewed by a licensed customs professional. Use it to check whether goods can legally move before you ship. High-risk topics (Russia/sanctions clearance, dual-use determinations) are NEVER answered autonomously — they are flagged for mandatory expert escalation. Guidance only, not binding advice. Cost: $0.25 per call, paid automatically via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402).

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Response language: 'en' (default) or 'it'.
- `q` (string): Product, HS code or country to screen, e.g. 'drone with camera', '8525' or 'export to Russia'.

### `get_origin_rule` (~179 tokens)

Expert-verified preferential rules of origin for EU trade agreements. Give a product or an agreement and get the applicable rule of origin (e.g. tariff-shift or value-added criteria) plus how origin must be proven — EUR.1 movement certificate, statement on origin, or the REX registered-exporter system — reviewed by a licensed customs professional. Use it to determine whether goods qualify for a reduced/zero preferential duty and what documentation is required. Guidance only, not binding advice. Cost: $0.50 per call, paid automatically via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402).

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Response language: 'en' (default) or 'it'.
- `q` (string): Product or trade agreement to check, e.g. 'olive oil' or 'EU-South Korea EUR.1'.

### `get_procedure` (~176 tokens)

Expert-verified explanation of EU special customs procedures: inward processing, outward processing, returned goods relief, and temporary admission. Returns the purpose, eligibility conditions, required documents and practical notes for the chosen regime, reviewed by a licensed customs professional. Use it to understand how to suspend or reclaim duty/VAT when goods are processed, repaired or temporarily moved across the EU border. Complex regime structuring is flagged for expert escalation. Guidance only, not binding advice. Cost: $0.25 per call, paid automatically via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402).

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Response language: 'en' (default) or 'it'.
- `q` (string): Special-regime keyword(s), e.g. 'inward processing', 'temporary admission', 'returned goods relief' or 'repair'.

### `ask_customs` (~180 tokens)

Ask a general EU/Italy customs question in natural language and get a practitioner-verified answer. Covers common real-world topics such as the required import-documentation checklist, duties on goods from China, transfer-of-residence duty/VAT relief, temporary admission / inward processing for repair, and Italy-San Marino trade formalities. Use it when you don't know which specialised tool fits, or for procedural 'how do I…' questions. Guidance only, not binding advice; high-risk cases are flagged for expert escalation. Cost: $0.25 per call, paid automatically via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402).

Input parameters:

- `q` (string): Your customs question in plain language, e.g. 'What documents do I need to import from China?' or 'Do I pay duty moving personal goods to Italy from outside the EU?'.
