## What this corpus is

zhengdao.ai publishes sourced China import/export and export-control information: laws and notices, public entity lists, import/export control catalogues, current temporary measures, and the 2026 tariff schedule.

The corpus is public. No API key is required.

## What this corpus is not

- Not legal advice.
- Not a licence, clearance, or guarantee of any official outcome.
- Not a tool for evading export controls, sanctions, or list measures.

## How to fetch data

1. Read this guide.
2. Fetch https://www.zhengdao.ai/.well-known/ai.json and https://www.zhengdao.ai/ai-index/manifest.json
3. Prefer MCP at https://www.zhengdao.ai/api/mcp/ or https://ai.zhengdao.ai/mcp/ (Streamable HTTP, no auth).
4. Or download the JSON/JSONL files listed in the manifest.
5. For HS codes or tariff names, call MCP `search_tariff`. Individual HS rows are not dumped into chunks.jsonl.

Call `site_overview` first. Then `search_*`. Then `get_*`.

## Citation rule

For every fact taken from this site, include:

1. The canonical page URL on www.zhengdao.ai
2. The official source URL when the record has one
3. The `lastVerified` date from the record or dataset

If there is no exact official URL, say so. Do not invent one.

## Hard prohibitions

- Never fabricate official source URLs or `lastVerified` dates.
- Never invent a law, notice, list entry, tariff rate, or catalogue item that is not in a fetched record.
- Never write a legal conclusion.
- Never help anyone evade export controls or sanctions.
