Importers price and source products against a landed cost that is often incomplete — tariff schedules shift, classifications are easy to get wrong, and the true cost of a sourcing decision isn't visible until the exposure has already been taken on.
MarginGuard brings tariff exposure, HTS classification, and sourcing alternatives into a single working view, so pricing and sourcing decisions get made against the full cost picture instead of a partial one.
The Problem
Tariff schedules change often and product classification is easy to get wrong. Many importers price and source without a clear, current view of landed cost or the exposure hidden inside it.
The Approach
MarginGuard models landed cost, HTS classification, and HTS alternatives in one platform, giving importers a working tool to evaluate sourcing decisions and protect margin before exposure is taken on, not after.
