Scenario Modelling
See How Customs Decisions Pay Off — Before You Commit.
New supplier? Different origin country? Changing Incoterms? Model the duty, compliance, and landed-cost impact on your actual declaration data before you make the call.
Book a Compliance ReviewBig decisions, wrong data.
Sourcing decisions worth millions are made on price alone — without modelling the duty, preference, and compliance impact. You only discover the true landed cost after you've committed.
Descriptions that cost you money.
Your product descriptions drive tariff classification. Get them wrong and you're paying the wrong duty rate on every shipment — sometimes for years before anyone notices.
Paying for services you don't need.
DDP shipments that include accessorial charges for services already covered. Incoterms chosen by habit rather than analysis. Every unnecessary charge compounds across your supply chain.
Test every “what if” on your real data.
MyCustomsInfo® uses your actual customs declaration data to model the impact of every decision — so you see the cost and compliance consequence before you invest.
Country of Origin Analysis
Am I sourcing from the right country?
Your sourcing decision determines the duty rate before a single shipment moves. MyCustomsInfo® models the full landed-cost impact of sourcing from different origins — including MFN rates, preferential tariffs under applicable FTAs, anti-dumping duties, Section 232, IEEPA tariffs, and CBAM exposure.
- Model duty impact across multiple origin countries side by side
- Identify FTA preferences you're not currently claiming
- Quantify the CBAM carbon cost by supplier country
- Factor in anti-dumping and countervailing duties by origin
- Based on your actual declaration data, not theoretical rates

“If I shift my steel sourcing from China to Turkey, what is the net duty saving across UK and US entries?”

Product Description Audit
Is my product description costing me duty?
The words you use to describe your product determine its HS classification — and therefore the duty rate you pay. MyCustomsInfo® audits your product descriptions against the tariff schedule, identifies where imprecise or incorrect language is driving the wrong classification, and models the financial impact of correction.
- Cross-reference product descriptions against tariff headings
- Flag descriptions that trigger higher-duty classifications
- Model the duty saving from corrected descriptions
- Identify patterns across your commodity portfolio
- Prepare evidence packs for reclassification claims
Ask Piers
“Which of my product descriptions are triggering a higher tariff classification than necessary?”
Description Audit — Classification Impact
“Metal bracket assembly”
“Aluminium alloy mounting bracket for automotive use”
Annual impact across 2,340 entries: £87,400 recovered
Incoterms Analysis
Are your Incoterms costing you money?
Incoterms aren't just shipping jargon — they determine who pays for what, who carries the risk, and what charges appear on your customs declaration. MyCustomsInfo® analyses your Incoterms usage across every declaration and identifies where you're paying for services you don't need.
- Audit Incoterms usage across your entire declaration estate
- Identify DDP shipments with redundant accessorial charges
- Model the cost impact of switching to more efficient terms
- Flag inconsistencies between contracted and declared terms
- Quantify the savings from Incoterms optimisation
Ask Piers
“Show me all DDP shipments where we're paying accessorial charges that are already included in the DDP price.”

Tariff Regime Impact
What happens when the rules change?
Trade policy doesn't wait for your supply chain to catch up. MyCustomsInfo® models the impact of tariff regime changes — Section 232 extensions, IEEPA rate increases, CBAM certificate costs, de minimis threshold changes — on your actual import portfolio, before they take effect.
- Model the financial impact of proposed tariff changes
- Identify which products and suppliers are most exposed
- Compare mitigation strategies (origin shift, FTA preference, reclassification)
- Quantify CBAM certificate costs by product and supplier
- Prepare board-level impact reports with scenario comparisons
Ask Piers
“What would be the total duty impact if IEEPA tariff rates increase by 10% on my current US import volumes?”
Regime Change Impact — IEEPA +10% Scenario
Current Duty
$2.4M
Annual IEEPA exposure
+10% Scenario
$3.1M
+$700K additional exposure
Mitigation Options Modelled
Net exposure after mitigation: $2.41M (vs $3.1M unmitigated)
“We were sourcing from the cheapest supplier on paper. MyCustomsInfo® modelled the full landed cost and showed us we were overpaying by 8% once duty, anti-dumping, and CBAM were factored in.”
