The problem

Tariffs are now a permanent cost-management problem — not a headline risk

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York confirms US importers bear the majority of tariff costs. That means the pain lands directly on your procurement costs, landed costs, and margins — and it compounds quietly until you quantify it by SKU and supplier.

💳

You don't know your real landed cost

Your purchase order shows the invoice price. It doesn't show the tariff-adjusted total cost per unit — which means your standard costs, pricing, and margin calculations may all be running on pre-tariff assumptions.

📊

You can't see which SKUs are exposed

Tariff exposure is not evenly distributed. Some SKUs import 80% of their components from high-tariff origins. Others are largely domestic. Without a SKU-level view, you can't prioritise sourcing changes or pricing adjustments.

🕒

Rate changes hit you before you're ready

A 5%, 10%, or 25% rate increase on a single commodity category can wipe margin across an entire product line within one purchasing cycle. Most operators find out at month-end, not before the next PO.

What YieldSentinel does

From PO export to tariff impact brief — in 60 seconds

Add one column to your existing purchase order or import CSV: tariff_rate. Everything else is calculated automatically.

01 / Identify exposure

See which SKUs, suppliers, and import lanes carry the highest tariff exposure — ranked by total annual tariff cost.

02 / Calculate landed cost

Get true landed cost per unit — invoice price plus tariff plus freight — so your standard costs and margin calculations are current.

03 / Model scenarios

See what happens to your cost base if rates increase by 5%, 10%, or 25%. Build a contingency budget before the next announcement.

04 / Generate the brief

One-page tariff impact brief — top exposed SKUs, scenario analysis, and recommended actions for supplier negotiations, pricing reviews, and board updates.

Example output

What a tariff scenario analysis looks like

Sample output from the Procurement module with tariff_rate column added. All figures calculated locally in your browser from your actual PO data.

Supplier / material Origin Current rate Period tariff cost +10% scenario +25% scenario
GlobalChem Asia · Vitamin C Powder CN 14.5% $4,820 $6,480 $13,120
AgroSource Ltd · Shea Butter GH 5.0% $1,240 $1,860 $3,720
Pacific Botanicals · Hyaluronic Acid US 0% $0 $0 $0
Total tariff exposure $6,060 $8,340 ↑$2,280 $16,840 ↑$10,780

Sample data for illustration. Your actual analysis runs from your own PO export — data never leaves your browser. Trust & Security →

⚠ Hot zone flagged: GlobalChem Asia accounts for 80% of total tariff exposure. A +25% rate scenario adds $8,300 to annual tariff cost on this supplier alone. Recommended: qualify one alternative supplier and review pricing on finished goods using these components.

Common questions

From manufacturers and importers

We already track costs in our ERP. Why do we need this?
ERPs track what you paid — invoice cost. They typically don't calculate landed cost per unit (invoice + tariff + freight) or flag which SKUs carry disproportionate tariff exposure. And they can't model what a rate change scenario does to your cost base before it happens. YieldSentinel does all three from a CSV export you already have.
We don't know the tariff rate for every material. Can we still use this?
Yes. Add a tariff_rate column to your PO export for the materials where you know the rate — the module analyses what you provide and flags the rest as unclassified. Even a partial picture is more actionable than a vague headline risk. Your customs broker or freight forwarder can supply HTS-based rates for the materials that matter most.
Is this only useful for China-origin goods?
No. The 2025 tariff schedule includes goods from multiple origins at varying rates. The analysis works for any import where you have a tariff rate — whether that's China, Southeast Asia, Europe, or elsewhere. It's origin-agnostic: you supply the rate, the module calculates the impact.
What can we actually do with the output?
Three immediate actions: (1) Supplier negotiation — show your highest-tariff supplier the annual impact and negotiate price relief or shifted sourcing terms. (2) Pricing review — identify finished goods where tariff-adjusted landed cost is eroding margin below your threshold and raise prices or adjust the product mix. (3) Board / CFO briefing — the one-page tariff impact brief quantifies your exposure in dollars, not percentages, which is what your board or investors need to see.

Stop treating tariffs as a headline risk

Your PO export already has everything needed to calculate your tariff exposure by SKU, supplier, and scenario. Add one column and get a tariff impact brief in 60 seconds.
