### Tool changes

- 2026-10-19 `estimate_cbm_from_weight` added
  - Gives an approximate shipping volume in cubic metres (CBM) for goods from China from their total gross weight and product type. Use it when the buyer knows the weight but not the CBM. Approximate idea only: if the buyer has the exact CBM from the supplier (packing list), that should be used instead.
- 2026-10-19 `estimate_landed_cost` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Estimates the door-to-door landed cost in INR of importing goods from China to India with IFC: invoice value, IFC freight/clearance/delivery, insurance, customs duties (BCD, SWS, AIDC) and IGST, using the same engine as the calculator on importsfromchina.com. Estimate only; IFC confirms the final quote.
  - after: Estimates the door-to-door landed cost in INR of importing goods from China to India with IFC: invoice value, IFC freight/clearance/delivery, insurance, customs duties (BCD, SWS, AIDC) and IGST, using the same engine as the calculator on importsfromchina.com. Estimate only; IFC confirms the final quote. Give weight_kg, cbm or both. If one is not known, leave it out and IFC uses an approximate figure for it (approx idea only; use the exact values from the supplier if available).
