What you get

Five deliverables, built from your actual numbers.

Not a template landed-cost calculator. A rebuild of your real cost and exposure from your own invoices, quotes, and shipping docs.

01

Landed Cost Rebuild

Your true current unit cost, built from your actual invoices: freight, every duty layer, fees, packaging, QC, defect yield.

02

Tariff Exposure Map

Which duties apply today and how they change if you source from Vietnam, Mexico, India, or elsewhere. Classification questions are flagged for a licensed customs broker.

03

Supplier Health Check

Real factory or trading company, capacity, risk, and concentration.

04

Second-Source Benchmark

1–2 indicative quotes from qualified alternative factories outside China.

05

Savings Memo

Where you're overpaying and what to renegotiate, with a stay / renegotiate / dual-source / move recommendation and the estimated annual impact.

Free tool

Fit and scope

When the Audit is useful.

Good fit

  • An established product, at least one production run completed
  • Currently importing, especially from China
  • Annual product spend roughly $50k+
  • You want a clear, numbers-based read on where you're overpaying

Not a fit

  • No deposit paid yet → see Sourcing
  • Electronics
  • Design or regulatory work
  • One-off orders

If the memo recommends moving or dual-sourcing, Partner can run the switch.

FAQ

A few things people ask.

Do you take commission from factories?

No, ever. We're not paid by any supplier, current or alternative, so there's no incentive to steer you anywhere.

Do I have to switch suppliers?

No. Often the answer is renegotiating with your current one. Switching is one possible outcome, not the goal.

What do you need from me?

Recent commercial invoices, the factory quote, and your shipping and customs docs. That's what makes this a rebuild of your real cost, not a generic estimate.

How does the guarantee work?

If the memo doesn't identify at least $1,500 in annual savings or avoidable cost once we've gone through your actual numbers, you get a full refund. No conditions beyond that.

Ready to see the real number?

Send a note with your product, where you currently produce, and roughly how many units you move a year, and we'll confirm within a day or two whether the Audit is a fit.
