cbm_calculatorCalculate cubic metres (CBM) for a shipment from per-piece dimensions.
chargeable_weight_calculatorCalculate air freight chargeable weight — the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, which is what airlines bill.
ldm_calculatorCalculate loading metres (LDM) for European road freight — how much trailer length a pallet load occupies.
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.

emissions_calculatorEstimate freight transport greenhouse-gas emissions (kgCO2e) for a shipment leg, per ISO 14083:2023 / GLEC Framework v3.2: emissions = mass x distance x a published emission-intensity factor (kgCO2e/tonne-km).
validateValidate and parse freight identifiers by their public check-digit algorithms: shipping container numbers (ISO 6346), air waybill (AWB) numbers (IATA modulus-7) and IMO ship identification numbers.
ics2_checkCheck a goods description against the official EU ICS2 stop-words list — terms the European Commission deems too vague or generic for an entry summary declaration (ENS) goods-description field (data element 18 05 000 000).
