ask
ask_customs
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).
catalog
list_catalog
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
classify_product
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).
origin
get_origin_rule
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).
procedure
get_procedure
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).
restrictions
check_restrictions
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).
tariff
get_tariff
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'.

Customswise — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Customswise do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ask_customs, check_restrictions, classify_product, get_origin_rule, get_procedure, get_tariff and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Customswise working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 268 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Customswise as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Customswise?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Customswise need an API key?
No. Customswise completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
