API 参考

贸易合规 API

将 HTS 归类与关税计算直接集成到您的系统。发送产品描述和原产国,一次 REST 调用即可获取 HTS 编码与完整的关税叠加明细。

性能

让运营团队能放心规划的吞吐量

数百? 上千? Ginger 在几分钟内帮你全部搞定。

单品归类

一次 API 调用即可归类单个产品。

响应时间

以下为生产环境实际测量的响应时间。较低的百分位数代表多数情况的体验,较高的百分位数反映最差情况的尾部表现。

平均

36 秒

所有生产环境请求的平均响应时间。

中位数 (p50)

30 秒

半数请求可在此时间内完成。

p95

79 秒

95% 的请求可在此时间内完成,代表典型的最差情况。

p99

108 秒

即使在高负载下,99% 的请求仍可在此时间内完成。


批量归类

一次 API 调用最多可归类 200 个产品。

吞吐量

为大型品类目录而生。单一请求并行处理整个批次,并在数分钟内完成。

每次调用笔数

200

单次批量调用可归类的最大产品数量。

完成时间

3-5 分钟

处理完整批次的典型端到端时间。

每日处理量

200K+

生产环境每日归类量。定制化企业方案可扩展至每小时 100K 次归类。

拆分码组合计税

第 91 章产品(如手表)需按组成部件分别计税,而非以整体计算。API 会自动将这类产品拆解为组成部件并在响应中返回 components 数组,每个部件都有独立的 HTS 编码与关税计算。大多数归类 API 直接跳过这项能力,但真正的贸易合规意味着每一个产品都必须获得正确的关税待遇,没有例外。

一次调用,获取完整关税全貌

GingerControl OpenAPI 是自动化 HTS 归类与关税计算的 REST 接口。发送产品描述和原产国,一次调用即可获取 HTS 编码与完整的关税明细。

归类结果定位为您团队的研究产出:在我们 1,000+ 个产品的内部基准测试中,引擎达到 99.86% 准确率,且每条结果都设计为交由持牌报关行复核后再申报。

单品端点

每次请求归类一个产品,附完整关税细节。

批量端点

单次请求最多 200 个产品。

拆分码支持

拆分码产品提供部件级关税计算。

完整关税叠加

General (MFN) 与 Special 税率、Section 301、232、122,以及所有适用的第 99 章条目。

从 API 契约到正式上线,四个步骤

Step 01

阅读 API 契约

下方契约涵盖请求模式、输入输出结构、错误语义与限流规则。先花二十分钟阅读,可省下数天的调试时间。

X-Api-Key: ••••
Step 02

申请测试 API Key

与我们联系,我们会通过 email 等线下渠道发放测试 Key 给您。

注意

测试 Key 流量配额较小,有效期通常仅 7-30 天,仅供开发与调试使用,不得用于生产环境。

Step 03

开发与调试

多数团队能快速完成基本对接,真正花时间的是把返回数据集成进自己的系统。

Step 04

正式上线

准备上线时,请与我们联系申请生产 Key。我们会依据您的调用模式、IP 白名单与峰值 QPS 配置额度。

注意

请妥善保管生产 API Key。现阶段 API Key 是计费的唯一依据。

Rate Limits & Quotas

  • All API calls are subject to request-level protection. When request frequency is too high, the system returns 429 Too Many Requests.
  • Quota is consumed by the number of products processed. The single-product endpoint consumes 1 item, while batch consumes based on the number of items.
  • Both endpoints share the same item-level quota under the same API key.
  • Production API keys are sized to each customer's traffic model. Contact us for tier sizing.

Development Recommendations

Validate request bodies

If you receive 422, the request body structure, field types, or field values usually do not match the contract. Check the request body first.

Handle rate limits gracefully

If you receive 429, implement retry behavior using the Retry-After response header.

Log request IDs

Keep request logs and record the X-Request-Id for each call. This significantly reduces troubleshooting time.

Configure timeouts and retries

Configure reasonable timeouts, retries, and failure alerts so that network fluctuations can be handled robustly.

Security Recommendations

Do not embed your API key in frontend code, browser code, or any environment exposed to end users.

Do not use production API keys in test, development, or temporary debugging environments.

Store your API key in a secure configuration system, such as a secret manager or tightly controlled environment variables.

If an API key is lost, suspected to be leaked, or needs to be rotated, please contact us as soon as possible.
