# Overview The Cross-Border Delivery Services (CBDS) APIs provide capabilities to support international shipping compliance and cost calculation. These APIs help determine product classification, identify country-specific shipping restrictions, calculate landed costs (duties and taxes), and screen buyers or sellers against denied or sanctioned party lists. The APIs are grouped into the following categories: - **HS Classification:** Retrieve HS codes for items for a single country or across multiple countries. - **Restrictions:** Identify import and export restrictions for items based on destination or origin countries. - **Landed Cost Quote:** Calculate applicable duties and taxes for international shipments. - **Denied Party Screening:** Screen buyers or sellers against embargoed or sanctioned parties at the country level.
