The platform

From the quote to the duty-paid, delivered tonne.

Eight modules on one commodity-agnostic data model. Each answers a question a discovery platform can't — and each is grounded in an authoritative source, not a guess.

M1

Landed-Cost Engine

Generalizes to any commodity and lane. Builds cost in layers — commodity price (spot / futures / contract) → freight → insurance → CIF → destination duties, taxes & fees → logistics → landed cost per unit and resale margin, with a price-scenario slider.

Native-unit aware (MT, bushel, barrel, bale) · normalizes to a comparable landed cost
M2

Tariff Finder

For a commodity (HS code) and any origin→destination pair, returns the applicable MFN and preferential tariff rates and the trade agreements that apply — ranked by duty burden.

M3

Tariff Arbitrage Optimizer

Finds the lowest lawful duty path: which origin, which FTA, whether a foreign-trade-zone or tariff-suspension route reduces the burden — while surfacing the rules-of-origin the buyer must satisfy to claim it. Lawful options only; origin requirements always shown.

M4

Customs & Fees Ledger

The full fee stack per destination and per business or agency within it: duty, VAT/GCT-equivalent, admin and processing fees, terminal and wharfage, broker fees, inspection charges — itemized and dated.

Sources: national customs schedules + curated per-entity fee tables, each cited
M5

Lead-Time Predictor

Probable delivery lead time for the lane: sailing transit + port dwell + clearance + inland, blended with historical lane performance and returned with a confidence band.

Sources: AIS vessel tracking & ETA feeds + historical transit data
M6

Demurrage & Detention Watch

Flags the cost of a vessel docked but not yet unloaded (laytime exceeded → demurrage) and containers held past free time (detention); tracks the last-free-day so the fee never surprises you.

Sources: carrier/terminal free-time & demurrage tariffs · laytime terms · container-tracking APIs
M7

Storage-vs-Inflow Balancer

Measures available storage capacity against incoming freight so you see an overflow — and the demurrage cascade it triggers — before the ship arrives.

Sources: warehouse/terminal capacity inputs + M5 arrival schedule
M8

Route Disruption / Weather Radar

Flags disruptive weather and chokepoint risk on the trade route — storms, hurricane tracks, port closures, canal and strait constraints — and folds the likely delay back into your lead time.

Sources: NOAA & national met services · commercial marine-route weather · AIS congestion signals
