Search and look up official New Zealand Customs tariff classifications, rates, levies and formula records. Use for source-backed tariff research, not definitive landed-cost calculations or legal advice.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Customs Tariff NZ

Use the read-only Python CLI to search the current official CusMod tariff data archive. Every result reports the archive's own update timestamp, retrieval time, source URL and interpretation caveats.

## Commands

```bash
# Search active classifications by words or a tariff-code prefix
python3 scripts/cli.py search "roasted coffee" --json
python3 scripts/cli.py search 0901 --as-of 2026-09-02 --limit 20 --json

# Look up one 10-digit tariff item and join its active rates and levies
python3 scripts/cli.py lookup 09.01.21.00.00 --json

# Inspect levy-formula coefficients by exact code, or explicitly use prefix mode
python3 scripts/cli.py formula 2 --json
python3 scripts/cli.py formula 2 --prefix --limit 20 --json
```

Human-readable output is the default. Add `--json` to every data command for stable machine-readable output. `--limit` accepts 1–100, `--as-of` accepts `YYYY-MM-DD`, and every live request has a 10-second timeout.

The CLI caches a fully validated archive in `.cache/` inside the skill for at most 12 hours. Cached results retain their original retrieval timestamp; an expired or damaged cache is refreshed. The first request validates every source row.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/customs-tariff-nz@sha256:e2c03ea08a7facf5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.1dd7e68, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
