Apparel, Retail & E-Commerce

Apparel, footwear, and retail run on enormous catalogs and global, contract-manufactured supply chains. Duty and tariff costs absorb a large share of landed cost in this sector, so getting classification, origin, and trade-agreement qualification right—at scale—directly protects margin.

Industry challenges

• Classification at scale — assigning accurate harmonized system (HS) codes across tens of thousands of fast-changing SKUs
• Country-of-origin and FTA qualification — qualifying products from many manufacturers against many trade agreements is where real savings hide
• Volume and speed — omnichannel and e-commerce demand fast, compliant cross-border movement, not delays at the border
• Duty exposure — apparel and footwear carry some of the highest duty and tariff rates of any category

How we help

• Implement and tune product classification and valuation so landed cost is accurate across the catalog
• Operationalize origin determination and duty management to expand the trade agreements you qualify for—a lever that can grow from a handful to dozens of agreements
• Configure restricted-party screening and import management for fast, compliant clearance at volume
• Keep trade content current so determinations hold as rules change

Outcome

Lower landed cost, faster cross-border movement, and compliance that scales with your catalog instead of fighting it.
