The UN/ECE Recommendation 21 package-type codes — the codes used to describe the kind of packaging in trade, transport and customs documents (packing lists, dangerous-goods declarations, EDI messages) — as an API. The reference a logistics, customs or e-invoicing system needs. Each of 400+ codes (for example 1A = steel drum, 5H = woven-plastic bag, BX = box, CT = carton, JY = jerrican) carries an alphanumeric code, a name, a description and a numeric code. Look a code up, reverse-look-up the codes that share a numeric code, search by name, or list them all. This is the packaging-type CODE register — distinct from containercodes-api (ISO 6346 shipping containers) and unitcodes-api (units of measure). Served from memory — always fast.

The ICC Incoterms — the international commercial terms used in every contract of international sale — as an API. For each of the 11 three-letter terms (EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP): its full name, a plain-language description of what the seller and the buyer are each responsible for, the official Incoterms group (E departure, F main-carriage-unpaid, C main-carriage-paid, D arrival) and the mode of transport it applies to (any mode, or sea and inland waterway only). Look a term up, list the terms in a group, filter by transport mode, or list them all. The reference an e-commerce checkout, ERP, freight-forwarding or trade-finance system needs to interpret a delivery term. Served from memory — always fast.

Die ISO-6346-Größen- und Typcodes zur Identifizierung von intermodalen Frachtcontainern als API – die Referenz, die ein Containerbuchungssystem, eine EDI-Integration oder ein Terminalbetriebssystem benötigt. Jeder Versandcontainer wird durch einen 4-stelligen Code beschrieben (z. B. 22G1 = ein 20-Fuß-Allzweckcontainer, 45R1 = ein 40-Fuß-High-Cube-Kühlcontainer). Für jeden der über 700 Codes gibt die API eine menschenlesbare Beschreibung, die Containerlänge in Fuß, die Höhe in Fuß und die ISO-Gruppencode, zu der er gehört, zurück. Suchen Sie einen Code, listen Sie jeden Code in einer Gruppe auf, suchen Sie nach Beschreibung (Kühlcontainer, Tank, Open Top, Flat Rack …) oder listen Sie den gesamten Satz auf. Aus dem Speicher bereitgestellt – immer schnell.

Freight and logistics maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the LTL freight class and load-planning numbers a shipper, broker or warehouse works to. The freight-class endpoint computes the density (weight ÷ cubic feet) of a shipment and maps it to the NMFC density-based freight class — the 18-band scale from class 50 (densest, cheapest) to 500 (lightest) — so a 200 lb pallet measuring 48×40×48 inches is 3.75 lb/ft³ and lands in class 250. The pallet endpoint palletizes a carton: it takes the better of the two footprint orientations for cartons per layer, fills the usable stack height in layers, and returns the cartons per pallet limited by the smaller of the cube and the weight cap, with the cargo weight and stack height (defaulting to a 48×40 GMA pallet). The container endpoint loads a 40-foot high-cube container (or any dimensions you give): how many units fit by axis-aligned stacking and by payload, which one is the limiting factor, the total weight and the cube utilisation. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for logistics, freight-brokerage, 3PL, warehouse-management and supply-chain app developers, LTL rating and load-planning tools, and shipping calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Imperial units (inches, pounds, cubic feet) as the NMFC scale is US-based. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. This is freight-class and load-planning maths; for single-parcel courier billing weight use a dimensional-weight API.

Shipping dimensional-weight maths as an API. Carriers bill the greater of a parcel's actual weight and its dimensional (volumetric) weight — the volume divided by a carrier "dim divisor" — so a big, light box can cost far more than the scales suggest. The dimweight endpoint computes the dimensional weight in both pounds and kilograms from the length, width and height (in inches or centimetres) and a dim divisor, which you can give directly or pick by carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, IATA). The billable endpoint takes the actual weight as well and returns the billable weight — the greater of actual and dimensional — telling you which one you will be charged on. The girth endpoint computes the girth (twice the width plus height of the two smaller sides), the length-plus-girth and the longest side, and flags whether the parcel is oversize against length limits (defaulting to typical US ground values). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for e-commerce checkout and shipping estimators, fulfilment and warehouse tools, freight and logistics software, and packaging optimisation. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. Divisors and limits are typical published values — confirm with your carrier and service. 3 endpoints. This is dimensional-weight maths; for live shipping rates use a carrier's own API, and for plain unit conversion use a unit-conversion API.

The UN/LOCODE registry (United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations) as an API — 116,000+ ports, airports, rail and road terminals and trade points across 249 countries. Resolve any 5-character code (e.g. USNYC → New York; DEHAM → Hamburg; NLRTM → Rotterdam) to its name, country, subdivision, transport functions (port, rail, road, airport, postal, …), IATA code and coordinates; search locations by name with country and function filters; or list every location in a country. UN/LOCODE is the standard used in shipping, logistics, customs and EDI. Ideal for supply-chain, freight, trade-compliance and logistics software.

The NGA World Port Index (WPI / Pub 150) as an API — 3,800+ maritime ports across 195 countries. Look up any port by its WPI number (e.g. 31140 → Rotterdam) or UN/LOCODE (e.g. NLRTM); search by name, country, harbor size or water body; or find every port within a radius of any coordinate (great-circle distance). Each record carries the UN/LOCODE, country, coordinates, harbor size and type, channel/anchorage/pier depths, maximum vessel length and draft, plus facility flags (container, oil/LNG terminal, ro-ro, dry dock, …). Ideal for shipping, logistics, maritime and supply-chain tools.

El Sistema Armonizado (SA) de la Organización Mundial de Aduanas como API: más de 6.900 códigos de clasificación de mercancías utilizados para aduanas, aranceles y comercio internacional. Consulte cualquier código SA (capítulo de 2 dígitos, partida de 4 dígitos o subpartida de 6 dígitos) con su descripción y cadena completa de ancestros, busque en la nomenclatura por producto, o profundice en los subcódigos de un código. Ideal para logística, aduanas, comercio electrónico y herramientas de cumplimiento comercial.

Search a database of 17,000+ seaports worldwide from UN/LOCODE. Find ports by name and country, look one up by its UN/LOCODE, or find all ports near a coordinate (radius search). Each record includes the UN/LOCODE, coordinates, country and connected transport modes (rail, road, airport) — ideal for shipping, freight, supply-chain and logistics applications.
