The Problem
2026 tariffs broke the math for importers
The US tariff landscape changed dramatically. Most ecommerce sellers are flying blind on their true product costs.
De Minimis is Gone
The $800 duty-free threshold was eliminated in 2026. Every import now faces tariffs regardless of value.
Stacked Tariffs
MFN duty + Section 301 (China) + Section 122 (15% global surcharge) + MPF + HMF. Most sellers can't calculate this.
HS Codes Are Confusing
The tariff schedule is 3,500+ pages. The wrong code means the difference between 0% and 45% duty.
Margins Are Razor-Thin
A $10 Chinese product now costs ~$24.50 after tariffs. Many sellers don't know they're losing money on every sale.

We use official USITC (US International Trade Commission) data for base MFN duty rates. Section 301, 122, and 232 surcharges are maintained from Federal Register publications. Calculations are estimates — for binding rulings, consult a licensed customs broker.
The $800 de minimis exemption was effectively eliminated, a 15% global import surcharge (Section 122) was imposed on all imports, and Chinese goods continue to face 30-45% additional tariffs under Section 301. These changes dramatically increased the landed cost of imported goods.
Type a product description in plain English (like "silicone phone case") and our AI identifies the most likely Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes. We validate every suggestion against the official USITC database to ensure the duty rates are correct — the AI is never used to generate tariff rates.
No. You can search by product description and the AI will suggest likely codes. If you already know your HS code, you can enter it directly for an instant rate lookup.
CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) is the value of your goods including shipping and insurance but BEFORE duties. Landed cost is the CIF value PLUS all applicable tariffs, fees, and duties — your true total cost to get the product into the US.
Absolutely. LC Pilot is built specifically for ecommerce sellers — dropshippers, Amazon FBA sellers, Shopify store owners, and anyone importing products to sell in the US. A direct Shopify integration is coming soon.
