Tariff Intelligence for Trade Professionals

Know about duty rate changes before they cost you.

When a tariff changes, you find out in minutes, not when your accountant finds the discrepancy three weeks later. Structured alerts with the exact rate, the effective date, and the Federal Register citation. Ready to pipe into your systems or read over coffee.

This is how a $147,000 penalty starts

Day 0

USTR publishes a Federal Register notice raising Section 301 duties on HTS 8541.40 (solar cells) from 25% to 50%. The document is 47 pages. The rate change is on page 31.

Day 1-3

Trade publications pick it up. Half of them get the effective date wrong. Your team is busy clearing last week's shipments.

Day 4-18

You keep importing at the old rate. Every container clears customs at 25% instead of 50%. CBP hasn't updated ACE yet, so nothing flags. You don't know you're underpaying.

Day 19

Your broker emails you. "Heads up, rate changed on 8541.40." You owe retroactive duties, interest, and potential penalties on every entry filed since Day 0.

With TariffDiff: Minute 12

Your webhook fires. You know the exact HTS code, the old rate, the new rate, the effective date, and the Federal Register citation. Before your broker has even read the notice.

The question isn't whether tariff changes happen. It's whether you find out in 12 minutes or 18 days. One is a proactive reclassification. The other is a retroactive duty assessment with interest.

Current process

  • Refreshing hts.usitc.gov hoping nothing changed
  • Finding out from a trade blog 11 days late
  • Reading 80-page Federal Register PDFs
  • Updating spreadsheets by hand
  • Discovering a $87K underpayment during an audit
  • No audit trail for when you "knew"

With TariffDiff

  • Alert hits your phone before your morning meeting
  • Know exactly how much your landed cost just changed
  • Federal Register citation included
  • Pipe directly into your ERP or Slack
  • Reroute shipments before the effective date
  • Provable record of when you knew, down to the minute

You manage 50 clients. We monitor 50 clients.

Every client gets their own watchlists, their own webhook, their own alert history. You stop forwarding emails. They stop wondering if you're on top of it.

Multi-client monitoring

Create sub-accounts for each importer. Assign HTS watchlists per client. One API key, complete coverage across your entire book of business.

Per-client webhook routing

Route alerts to client-specific endpoints. Each client gets their own webhook URL and signing secret. No more forwarding emails.

Audit-ready

Every alert is timestamped, hash-addressed, and tied to a specific client. When CBP asks when you knew, you have the receipt.

One missed rate change costs more than a year of TariffDiff

A single retroactive duty assessment on a high-volume code: $50K-$200K in back-duties, interest, and penalties. A year of TariffDiff Professional: $9,588. You don't need us to catch every change. You need us to catch the one that matters.
