Inside the Strategic Diagnostic THE NEW TRADE REALITY: Week 9 of 12 On Tuesday, @Tjaard Zwaagstra introduced our Strategic Diagnostic, the first phase of The Strategic Tariff Recovery & Cost Savings Program. Here is what that phase looks like in practice. Three streams, running in parallel over 4 to 6 weeks: 1. DUTY & CLASSIFICATION AUDIT. We review every HTS code against what was actually imported, reconciling records across suppliers, freight forwarders, importers, and CBP. 2. SPEND ANALYSIS & SUPPLY CHAIN MAP. We consolidate supplier pricing, duties, freight, logistics, and brokerage into a single view, and map your supply chain structure across tiers and geographies. This almost always reveals cost and risk that nobody was tracking. 3. SUPPLIER HEALTH CHECK. A structured look at quality, delivery, cost, and service across your key suppliers. Enough to identify major bottlenecks. Last year, this approach recovered $620K in duties for a single client. This year, it identified a 30% reduction in logistics cost for another. The data is already there. The question is whether someone has looked at it as a whole. #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #TariffRecovery #CostReduction #GlobalChain #GCC Next Week: We break down what happens after the diagnostic, the two paths of Phase 2: recovering duties and re-engineering your supply base. 📥 Download the full New Trade Reality White Paper: Link in the comments below ⬇️ or in the Featured Section on my profile. ♻️ Reshare if your team hasn't looked at the full picture yet. 🔔 Follow @GlobalChain Consulting to access the full series archive.

The Strategic Diagnostic - Your First Move THE NEW TRADE REALITY: Week 9 of 12 For eight weeks, we've broken down the data: the Tariff Stack, Total Landed Cost convergence, the enforcement shift at CBP, and the cost of inaction. The response I hear most often is: "This is overwhelming. The trade environment is so complex, WHERE DO WE EVEN START?" Here is our answer: We developed a structured approach, which we call the Strategic Tariff Recovery & Cost Reduction Program. It has three phases. You commit to one phase at a time. And the first phase is designed to pay for itself. PHASE 1 is a Strategic Diagnostic, a focused 4–6 week sprint that examines two critical areas of your business: => A duty and classification audit to identify whether you have been overpaying customs duties => An external spend analysis covering your suppliers, duties, freight and logistics, and brokerage costs We work from existing data and collaborate with your team to collect any missing information from third parties such as brokers, freight providers, and CBP's ACE portal. The output is a clear picture: what you are overpaying for and where costs can be reduced. Last year, this approach recovered $620K in duties for a single client. If the data from the last eight weeks resonated, this is the logical first step. #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #TariffRecovery #CostReduction #GlobalChain #GCC Next Post (Thursday): @Drew Lawlor will go deeper into the Strategic Diagnostics in Phase 1. 📥 Download the full New Trade Reality White Paper: Link is in the comments below ⬇️ or in the Featured Section on my profile. ♻️ Reshare if your team is asking, "Where do we start?" 🔔 Follow @GlobalChain Consulting to access the full series archive.

CBP enforcement has shifted. Tariff stacks are compounding. Total Landed Cost is converging across regions in ways that didn't apply six months ago. The companies finding money in this environment are the ones who looked at their data before their competitors did. The New Trade Reality white paper maps the four shifts driving this — the Tariff Stack, Total Landed Cost convergence, CBP enforcement, and the cost of inaction — and shows the diagnostic approach behind a recent $620K duty recovery for a single client. 47 pages.

One company recovered $620K in overpaid customs duties last year. Most importers don't realize they're doing it. The New Trade Reality white paper breaks down the four shifts driving this — the Tariff Stack, Total Landed Cost convergence, CBP enforcement, and the cost of inaction — and shows the diagnostic approach we use to find the money. 47 pages.

Most importers are paying tariff stacks of 25-50% with no clear path to unwind them. The leading manufacturers' answer: a phased program — reclaim what's already overpaid, then re-architect the supply base. Curious whether this would apply to your situation? Schedule a 30-minute Program Briefing call. We'll walk through how Phase 1 of our Strategic Tariff Recovery & Cost Reduction Program would work for your specific import profile — what we'd audit, what we'd likely find, what the 4-to-6 week diagnostic deliverable looks like. It's a working conversation, not a generic sales pitch. Recent Phase 1 outcomes: $620K recovered for one client via HTS audit. 5-month U.S. insourcing at 70% lower cost for another. 30 minutes. No prep needed. Pick a time that works.

Most importers are paying tariff stacks of 25-50% and don't know where to start unwinding them. The path most leading manufacturers took: reclaim what's already overpaid, then re-architect the supply base. We've packaged our approach into a 3-page brief — the Strategic Tariff Recovery & Cost Reduction Program. Three phases. You commit one at a time. Phase 1 is a 4-to-6 week diagnostic sprint with a fixed scope. CAPE Phase 1 alone covers $127B in IEEPA refunds. The 60-90 day window matters. One client recovered $620K in overpaid duties via an HTS classification audit. Another insourced production to the U.S. in 5 months at 70% lower cost.
