How to Lower Your Tariff, Duty and Freight Costs
Start with your real landed cost. That’s the full price of getting each container from the factory to your warehouse, with the freight, duties, tariffs and fees added on top. Once you can see that number, you can see where money is leaking and decide what to change.
Warning signs to watch for
- You know the factory price, but not what each container costs once it lands.
- You take the factory's word on shipping and tariffs.
- Freight and duty costs keep going up, and nobody can tell you why.
- A container has been held up in customs, or arrived late or damaged.
How we help
We look at your real landed cost and where money is leaking: the factory price, a middleman, freight or duties. Then we build your strategy for duties and freight and connect you with the customs brokers and freight forwarders we use and trust.
You see the numbers, the costs and the reasons behind every recommendation, so every decision is yours. We don’t move freight or file customs paperwork ourselves.
Common questions

No. We build the strategy, connect you with the logistics team we trust, and act as your liaison on the import rules that apply to you.
We work with orders of $5,000 or more. That includes smaller shipments that share a container (LCL) as well as full containers.
