Clarity on what you're really paying
Tariffs are more volatile than they've been in a generation. Whether you're paying more than you should at the border is now a competitive question, not a clerical one.
Volatile
The rules shift constantly, and your exposure shifts with them. Last year's assumptions don't hold.
Movable
Unlike most line items, the duty you pay can move, often a lot, once you can see where the savings are.
Hidden
Many importers may be leaving savings on the table. Very few know which ones are right for their business.
Who it's for
The Screener examines each distinct supply chain within a portfolio for potential savings opportunities. It shows whether you may be paying more duty than you need to, and roughly how much, so you can decide which savings strategies are worth pursuing. You're left with the full picture. We surface the duty savings opportunities hidden within your import data and arm you with the information to decide how best to capture them.
US Importers
Screen your whole portfolio, not just the entries you already wondered about, and get a clear savings estimate with the documentation behind each finding. Then decide what's worth pursuing, and whether to bring in a trade professional to capture it.
Supply Chain Partners
3PLs, warehouses, and terminals already touch the entry data. License the Screener to show importer clients where they may be sitting on chances to save. If needed, we can help connect them to a professional to capture those savings.
Trade Associations
Offer members a portfolio screen that surfaces real duty savings across their imports, a tangible, high-value benefit, with a clear path to a vetted trade professional for implementation.
Two routes to lower landed costs
Both are established, legal valuation strategies, widely valued and hard to apply at scale because finding every potential opportunity to use them by hand simply isn't feasible across a full portfolio. Tap each to expand.
When an import transaction involves multiple sales before goods reach the US, customs law allows duties to be assessed on an earlier, lower price rather than the last sale price, provided the transaction meets the applicable First Sale requirements. For importers buying through trading companies or middlemen, the difference between what the factory charged and what the importer paid can represent significant duty savings.
The bottleneck has always been economics: reviewing supply chains by hand just to determine whether a two-tier pricing structure even exists means realistically covering only a handful of supply chains. Most of that manual work produces dead ends, and hiring a consultant to do it on your behalf is expensive.
The Screener changes that math. Upload your entry packets and get back a finding on every supply chain, the evidence behind it, and the potential ROI, so you know exactly which structures are worth pursuing for implementation.
Depending on the shipping terms and how charges are allocated, the declared customs value may include freight, insurance, port, and other charges that are legally deductible. Most importers never claim them because proving the breakdown means matching forwarder invoices, carrier bills, and broker records to specific entries.
The Screener surfaces these NDC opportunities from the same entry packet. It analyzes the transaction terms and shipping structure to identify which cost layers may be embedded in the declared value and flags them for review.
You see which supply chains have deductible charges worth pursuing and can gauge whether the savings justify an NDC implementation alongside or instead of First Sale. Even when First Sale is a no-go on a given supply chain, NDC opportunities may still be there to claim.
See it in action
Upload the information you already have on hand for recent shipments across your portfolio. The Screener organizes it into distinct supply chains and gives each a First Sale and NDC read, complete with the reasoning behind the call. See which supply chains have a pricing structure or embedded charges worth pursuing for implementation. The result is the information you need to decide whether to engage a trade professional, implement the structure, and capture the savings.
The supply chains. Each client's imports, organized into supply chains, each with an early read and a savings estimate.
The read on a supply chain. Behind every call is a traceable report: the party chain, the kind of signals that point toward First Sale or NDC opportunity, how the documents connect, and an estimate of the savings. Hover any box to see what it does.
LandedEdge maps the parties behind each transaction, the kind of multi-tier structure that can open the door to First Sale. It's an early read on what your import picture looks to contain, not a final call.
A bill-of-lading shipper that differs from the invoice seller, the classic two-tier signal.
LandedEdge connects your shipping and transaction documents into one picture, enough for an early read on where First Sale looks likely, possible, or unlikely.
A directional read on what a supply chain could be worth, so you can see where the savings likely sit across your portfolio. Final numbers come after qualification.

Why it matters now
Almost every importer has duty savings somewhere. Very few know which ones are right for their business. The reason has always been cost: surfacing them is a heavy manual lift, even for a skilled trade professional, so it usually happens only for the handful with the most exposure, never the full portfolio.
LandedEdge changes that. The Screener gives you a complete, documented picture across your entire import portfolio, so you can decide, as a business, which savings make sense to pursue. You know your operation. You can't know where tariffs go next. This is the clarity that lets you prepare.
