Why This Is Needed
Many products look profitable at the factory gate but become unhealthy after duties, freight, warehousing, returns, certification, and compliance costs. Teams need to understand real delivered cost, not just unit price.
Supplier Strategy & Validation / 06
Landed Cost, Tariff & Compliance Review
A factory quote is not the buyer's true cost. FactoryFrontier reviews tariff exposure, HS/HTS code assumptions, logistics, certification, labeling, warranty, packaging, and the cost layers that determine whether the product economics actually work.
What FactoryFrontier Does
- Review FOB, EXW, DDP, landed cost, freight assumptions, and shipping mode.
- Analyze tariff risk and HS/HTS code assumptions for target markets.
- Identify certification, labeling, documentation, warranty, and import compliance requirements.
- Build a delivered-cost model based on realistic production and logistics assumptions.
What You Receive
- A landed cost model from factory quote to delivered customer cost.
- Tariff and compliance risk review.
- Cost sensitivity notes for volume, shipping method, packaging, and certification.
- A decision recommendation on whether product economics support moving forward.
