The API returns 25+ parameters including 8-digit VN HS codes, declared FOB/CIF values in USD/VND, container TEUs, Cat Lai/Hai Phong port codes, and verified Vietnamese export/import corporate tax codes (`MST`). SDK access is available via `pip install tradedata-client` and npm `@topsearch/tradedata-client`.

## 4. Code Implementation Examples

### Python SDK (`tradedata-client`)
```python
from tradedata import TradeDataClient

client = TradeDataClient(api_key="td_live_your_key_here")

# Stream real-time Vietnam export declarations for electronics (HS 8542)
declarations = client.search_manifests(
    country="VN",
    direction="export",
    hs_code="8542",
    date_from="2026-01-01",
    port_of_loading="VNHPH"
)

for item in declarations:
    print(f"[{item.declaration_date}] {item.shipper_name} -> {item.consignee_name} (${item.fob_cif_usd:,.2f})")
```

### TypeScript / Node.js (`@topsearch/tradedata-client`)
```typescript
import { TradeDataClient } from '@topsearch/tradedata-client';

const client = new TradeDataClient({ apiKey: 'td_live_your_key_here' });

async function streamVietnamCustoms() {
  const response = await client.manifests.query({
    country: 'VN',
    direction: 'export',
    hsCode: '8517',
    limit: 50,
  });

  console.log(`Retrieved ${response.data.length} Vietnam shipment records.`);
}

streamVietnamCustoms();
```
