Query trade area distribution analysis for HS codes — retrieve trade distribution data by country/region for a specified HS code, with exporter/importer type and recent months filters. Provides trade counts, amounts, buyer counts and seller counts per country for comprehensive geographic market analysis across global customs data covering 220+ countries and territories. Designed for trade analysts, market researchers and import-export professionals who need to understand which countries trade a specific product, analyze regional distribution patterns and compare exporter vs importer country activity for strategic market planning.

Query trade area distribution analysis — retrieve trade distribution data by country/region for a specified HS code. Trigger: area distribution, trade by country, regional analysis, HS code geography, trade region breakdown

Customs Analysis Area

Query trade area distribution data from customs data using the UpKuaJing Open Platform API.

Overview

This skill provides trade area distribution data for a specified HS code, broken down by country/region. Given an HS code, country type (exporter/importer), and recent months, it returns trade counts, amounts, buyer/seller counts for each country.

Running Scripts

Environment Setup

1. Check Python: python --version
2. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Script directory: scripts/*.py Run example: python scripts/*.py

Important: Always use direct script invocation like python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py. Do NOT use shell compound commands like cd scripts && python customs_analysis_area.py

Area Distribution Query (customs_analysis_area.py)

• Return granularity: One record per country/region
• Use cases: Analyze which countries trade a specific product, understand geographic trade distribution, compare exporter vs importer countries
• Examples:
  • "Show area distribution for HS code 04021000 in exporting countries"
  • "Which countries import product 04021000 the most?"
• Parameters: See Area API

API Key and Top-up

This skill requires an API key. The API key is stored in the ~/.upkuajing/.env file:

bash

cat ~/.upkuajing/.env

Example file content:

text

UPKUAJING_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

API Key Not Set

First check if the ~/.upkuajing/.env file has UPKUAJING_API_KEY; If UPKUAJING_API_KEY is not set, prompt the user to choose:

1. User has one: User provides it (manually add to ~/.upkuajing/.env file)
2. User doesn't have one: You can apply using the interface (auth.py --new_key), the new key will be automatically saved to ~/.upkuajing/.env Wait for user selection;

Account Top-up

When API response indicates insufficient balance, explain and guide user to top up:

1. Create top-up order (auth.py --new_rec_order)
2. Based on order response, send payment page URL to user, guide user to open URL and pay, user confirms after successful payment;

Get Account Information

Use this script to get account information for UPKUAJING_API_KEY: auth.py --account_info

API Key and UpKuaJing Account

• Newly applied API key: Register and login at UpKuaJing Open Platform, then bind account

Fees

All API calls incur fees, different interfaces have different billing methods.

Latest pricing: Users can visit Detailed Price Description Or use: python scripts/auth.py --price_info (returns complete pricing for all interfaces)

Query Billing Rules

Billed by number of calls, each call returns one page of area distribution data:

• Each API call incurs a fee
• Before execution:
  1. Inform user that this query will incur a fee
  2. Stop, wait for explicit user confirmation in a separate message, then execute script

Fee Confirmation Principle

Any operation that incurs fees must first inform and wait for explicit user confirmation. Do not execute in the same message as the notification.

Workflow

Decision Guide

User Intent	Use API
"Show area distribution for HS code 04021000 in exporting countries"	Area Distribution Query
"Which countries import product 04021000 the most?"	Area Distribution Query
"Analyze geographic trade distribution for a product"	Area Distribution Query

Usage Examples

Query Area Distribution

User request: "Show area distribution for HS code 04021000 in exporting countries over 12 months"

bash

python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py --params '{"hscode":"04021000","countryType":1,"recentMonths":12}'

Query importing countries for a specific country:

bash

python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py --params '{"hscode":"04021000","countryCode":"CN","countryType":2,"recentMonths":12}'

Query the next page:

bash

python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py --params '{"hscode":"04021000","countryType":1,"recentMonths":12,"cursor":"eyJpZCI6MX0="}'

Error Handling

• API key invalid/non-existent: Check UPKUAJING_API_KEY in ~/.upkuajing/.env file
• Insufficient balance: Guide user to top up
• Invalid parameters: Must first check the corresponding API documentation in references/ directory, get correct parameter names and formats from documentation, do not guess

API Documentation Reference

• Area Distribution: Check references/customs-analysis-area-api.md

Best Practices

1. Check API documentation:

   • Before executing queries, must first check the corresponding API reference documentation
   • Check references/customs-analysis-area-api.md
   • Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation

2. Country type:

   • countryType=1 means exporting countries (suppliers)
   • countryType=2 means importing countries (buyers)

3. Cross-skill usage:

   • First use customs-analysis-hscode-search and customs-analysis-hscode-detail to find and understand HS codes
   • Use customs-analysis-trends for monthly trends, then this skill for geographic breakdown
   • Combine with customs-analysis-trade-percent to see which companies dominate trade in each country

Notes

• hscode, countryType, and recentMonths are required parameters
• countryCode is optional — omit for global distribution
• percentTrade is the trade percentage for the country relative to total
• File paths use forward slashes on all platforms
• Prohibit outputting technical parameter format: Do not display code-style parameters in responses, convert to natural language
• Do not estimate or guess per-call fees — use python scripts/auth.py --price_info to get accurate pricing information
• Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation
