FreightUtils
Freight reference data and calculations for shipping: volumes, weights, dangerous goods, customs, emissions.
Neutral freight reference layer with tools for calculating shipment volumes (CBM, LDM), chargeable weights, dangerous-goods compliance (ADR), customs duties (UK), emissions, and lookups for airlines, airports, containers, HS codes and Incoterms.
Try asking Muse: "Calculate how many pallets fit in a truck and estimate the UK import duty on a shipment from China."

cbm_calculatorCalculate cubic metres (CBM) for a shipment from per-piece dimensions. CBM is the standard volume unit in international shipping: 1 CBM = 1m x 1m x 1m = 1,000 litres, and ocean freight prices per "freight tonne" (1 CBM or 1,000 kg, whichever is greater). Behavior: deterministic —chargeable_weight_calculatorCalculate air freight chargeable weight — the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, which is what airlines bill. Volumetric weight (kg) = (L x W x H in cm) / divisor; the IATA-standard divisor is 6,000 (1 CBM = 166.67 kg), while express integrators (DHL, FedEx, UPldm_calculatorCalculate loading metres (LDM) for European road freight — how much trailer length a pallet load occupies. 1 LDM = 1 linear metre of a 2.4m-wide trailer; a standard artic is 13.6 LDM. Provide a pallet preset OR custom length_mm + width_mm — omitting both errors with a usage hint.adr_lookupLook up European road dangerous-goods (ADR 2025) reference data for a substance: hazard class, classification code, packing group, labels, special provisions, limited/excepted quantities, transport category, tunnel restriction code and Kemler (hazard identification) number. Coveradr_exemption_calculatorCalculate ADR 1.1.3.6 "small load" exemption points for a dangerous-goods load. Each substance's transport category (0-4) sets a points multiplier (category 1 x50, 2 x3, 3 x1, 4 x0; the nine ADR 1.1.3.6.3 note-a entries UN 0081/0082/0084/0241/0331/0332/0482/1005/1017 are x20 withairline_lookupSearch 6,357 airlines by name, IATA code, ICAO code, AWB prefix, or country. AWB prefixes are the first 3 digits of an air waybill number and identify the issuing carrier (e.g. 176 = Emirates). Provide ONE parameter: query is a ranked fuzzy search across names and codes; iata / iairport_lookupLook up an airport by IATA code (3 letters, e.g. "LHR"), ICAO code (4 chars, e.g. "EGLL"), or free-text name/city search (e.g. "heathrow"). Covers 85,555 airports worldwide (OurAirports, public domain, cross-checked vs OpenFlights + Wikidata). Provide ONE of iata, icao, or query;nearest_airportFind the airports nearest to a caller-provided latitude/longitude, sorted by great-circle (haversine) distance with distance_km on each result.

Covers 10 types: 20ft/40ft standard, 40ft and 45ft high-cube, 20ft/40ft reefer, 20ft/40ft open-top and 20ft/40ft flat-rack.

Providpallet_fitting_calculatorCalculate how many identical boxes fit on a pallet: boxes per layer (trying 90-degree rotation when allowed), layer count within the max height, totals, volume utilisation and weight capping. Behavior: deterministic geometric packing of one box size in aligned rows and columns — unit_converterConvert freight and logistics units: weight (kg, lbs, oz, tonnes, short_tons, long_tons), volume (cbm, cuft, cuin, litres, gal_us, gal_uk), length (cm, inches, m, feet, mm), plus two freight-specific targets valid only FROM cbm — chargeable_kg (air volumetric weight at the IATA 6consignment_calculatorCalculate per-line and grand totals for a multi-item mixed consignment: CBM, loading metres (LDM), volumetric weight, and the mode-specific chargeable figure (air chargeable weight, sea revenue tonnes, road LDM), plus objective advisory flags.

Provideuk_duty_calculatorEstimate UK import duty and VAT for a commodity code using the LIVE GOV.UK Trade Tariff — rates are fetched per request, not from a static table. The CIF value is composed from customs_value + freight_cost + insurance_cost; duty = CIF x the duty rate for the origin country; VAT (shipment_summaryComposite shipment analysis in one call: volume (CBM), gross and chargeable weight, road LDM with pallet spaces and a vehicle suggestion (road mode), volumetric weight (air), revenue tonnes with a container suggestion (sea), dangerous-goods presence for items carrying un_number, uld_lookupLook up air-cargo ULD (Unit Load Device) specifications — 16 types spanning lower-deck containers (AKE/LD3 and family), main-deck pallets (PMC, PAG and family) and temperature-controlled units.
