The Sourcing Decision Engine

Should you move this part — and where to?

Build a part's cost from the ground up, stack the 2026 duty the way customs actually charges it, and see whether the saving survives the cost of moving. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere. Free for two sourcing options.

01

Describe one part you buy

Numbers a buyer knows without looking them up.

02

The cost, built from the ground up

Not what they quoted — what it should cost. China column shown.

Now a supplier can't just say "steel went up." You can argue material, machine time and labour separately.

The part everyone gets wrong. Duty is charged on the landed value, so freight inflates the duty too. There is no single "tariff for China."

03

The same part, priced in every option

Same volume, same rules, all-in landed cost.

Not legal, customs or tax advice. Benchmarks are illustrative starting points verified against USITC, CBP and Freightos sources in August 2026, not a quote for your part. Duty depends on your specific 10-digit HTS classification, origin, entry date and any exclusions. Confirm with a licensed customs broker before committing capital.
