Monitoring USITC + Federal Register

Duty rate changes, detected in minutes. Not weeks.

Structured webhook events with before/after state, Federal Register citations, and dollar-impact estimates. Built on authoritative USITC data.

webhook — POST /tariff-change

Tariff changes are buried in 80,000-page regulatory filings.

Your compliance team finds out about duty changes weeks late — from a customs broker, a trade publication, or worse, a penalty notice. By then you've already overpaid on dozens of shipments, mispriced inventory, and locked in contracts at the wrong landed cost.

A single missed Section 301 increase on a high-volume HTS code costs more per year than your entire compliance team's salary.

Two-Phase Detection

Fast alerting with authoritative confirmation. Never miss a change, never act on noise.

Phase 1 — Preliminary

Federal Register Scan

NLP pipeline ingests new Federal Register documents within minutes of publication. Extracts tariff-relevant actions, flags affected HTS codes, and delivers preliminary alerts before official confirmation.

< 15 min latency
Phase 2 — Confirmed

HTS Schedule Diff

Authoritative comparison against the official USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Byte-level diff produces exact rate changes with legal citations and deterministic event keys.

Within 24 hours

Machine-Readable Payloads

Structured events with audit proof. Integrate in an afternoon, not a quarter.

Built for Trade Professionals

The people who live and die by the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

🚚

Importers

Recalculate landed costs instantly. Renegotiate supplier contracts before the effective date. Stop overpaying duties on shipments already in transit.

📝

Customs Brokers

Compliance Teams

Audit-ready documentation of every rate change. Demonstrate proactive compliance to CBP auditors with timestamped provenance.

⚖️

Law Firms

Historical state queries for litigation. Point-in-time tariff snapshots with SHA-256 hashes and source citations for customs disputes.

From Automated Workflows to Courtroom Evidence

01

Landed Cost Automation

Pipe webhook events into your ERP to auto-update landed cost calculations. No manual lookups, no stale spreadsheets, no human in the loop.

02

Contract Renegotiation Triggers

Automatically flag purchase orders that become unprofitable at the new duty rate. The payload includes dollar impact based on declared annual trade value.

03

Supply Chain Rerouting

Preliminary FR alerts give you days or weeks of lead time before a change takes effect. Enough time to shift orders to alternative origin countries.

04

Dispute Evidence

Every diff is hash-addressed and source-cited. When CBP questions a classification or rate, you have timestamped proof of the published rate on the date of entry.

05

Audit Readiness

Focused Assessment and C-TPAT audits require demonstrable duty monitoring. TariffDiff's notification ledger and historical state endpoint are purpose-built for this.
