Verify item restriction status with Restrict.GraphQL
The Zonos Item Restriction API enables users to verify if any items that are being shipped are restricted from export or import by the destination country. Items are restricted for import or export based on the regulations put in place by government agencies. Parties that violate these restrictions can be subject to financial penalties. Our API consumes HS Codes and country data for shipped items and will flag any prohibitions, restrictions, or observations associated with those items in the shipment.
