Paid per call via x402 (USDC on Base).

Input parameters:

- `code` (string): HS / commodity code (6-10 digits)
- `markets` (string): uk, us or uk,us (default both)
- `origin` (string): Optional ISO2 origin country for UK preferential rates
- `payment_signature` (string): x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header value. Omit to receive payment requirements.
- `query` (string): Keyword search instead of a code, e.g. laptop
