The Tariff Agent helps organizations identify, analyse, and mitigate tariff exposure across their supplier network and site locations.
It identifies tariff exposure by supplier, site, part, and country of origin, providing insights into risk, revenue/spend impact, and affected business areas.
It summarizes financial exposure, prioritizes high-impact items, analyses tariff-related news, evaluates alternate suppliers or sites, and supports what-if scenario modelling.
It eliminates manual data reconciliation across multiple systems by delivering instant, executive-ready summaries that highlight high-impact business units, categories, suppliers, and regions.
Hierarchical drilldowns and guided mitigation workflows connect risk identification directly to actionable solutions such as alternate sourcing regions and shipping routes, enabling faster decision-making during tariff events.
Exemption handling provides accurate before-and-after financial calculations with audit-ready transparency into data sources and assumptions, improving compliance and stakeholder confidence.
Example use case:
Query: “Show parts where tariff impact is greater than $5,000.”

Filtered Parts Table:
- JEFFCAT ZF-10: $383K tariff impact (12% of $3.2M spend)
- CAP: $592K tariff impact (3% of $19.8M spend)
- Parts sourced from Russia/China with suppliers such as SAINT-GOBAIN
Key Columns Displayed: Supplier Part, HS Code, Country of Origin, Supplier Name, Tariff Amount, Tariff Percentage, Additional Tariff Flag
Summary Output:
“I have filtered parts where the tariff impact is greater than $5,000. The total tariff for these parts is $3.3M with a total spend of $74,871,789.”
This enables teams to quickly identify and prioritize high-impact items for mitigation.
