The quote is not the cost.

The question

An exporter sees a freight quote and a tariff line. What would they have to be right about for the corridor to actually pay?

Trade decisions are routinely made on landed-cost arithmetic that omits compliance, financing, inventory and failure risk. Our trade work builds the full cost picture for specific corridors, tracks the agreements that move duty lines, and states plainly what each conclusion depends on.

What we are examining

  • Total landed cost beyond freight and duty
  • Canada to India corridor economics
  • How CEPA changes the arithmetic, and when
  • Non-tariff barriers as the real constraint
