Trade Cost Management

Know your landed costs. Find opportunities to lower them.

Duties and other import costs directly affect your margins. But understanding what you're actually paying, and where you could be saving, isn't always straightforward.

Veros connects customs declarations with the underlying commercial transactions and products, giving you visibility into landed costs and helping you identify opportunities to reduce duty spend through preferential trade agreements.

Landed cost visibility

Understand what importing actually costs.

Customs duties, additional tariffs, CBAM and other border costs can vary significantly between products, suppliers and sourcing countries.

Veros connects your customs data to invoice lines and SKUs, allowing you to analyze actual duties and available landed cost components at the level your business operates.

Understand where costs are accumulating, compare products and sourcing flows, and give procurement and finance a clearer view of the impact of global trade on margins.

SKU-level cost visibility

Connect customs duties and other available costs to individual products and commercial transactions.

Understand cost drivers

Analyze duty spend and landed costs across products, suppliers, countries and importing entities.

Compare trade flows

Understand how differences in sourcing, customs treatment and applicable duties affect product costs.

Duty savings opportunities

Are you paying duties you could avoid?

Preferential trade agreements can offer significant duty savings. But identifying where they apply across thousands of products and international trade flows is difficult.

Veros continuously identifies imports where preferential tariff treatment may be available, estimates the potential savings and keeps track of opportunities worth investigating.

Instead of manually searching through customs reports for possible savings, your trade team can focus its attention where the financial opportunity is greatest.

Product	Opportunity Reason	Nr. of Imports	Potential saving	Status
SKU-1042	EU-Japan FTA	27	€12,400	Investigate
SKU-2081	EU-South Korea FTA	8	€8,700	In Origin review
SKU-3190	EU-Canada FTA	4	€5,200	Validated

From opportunity to eligibility

A preferential tariff is only valuable if your product qualifies.

Identifying an FTA opportunity is the first step. Establishing whether your product meets the applicable preferential origin rules is where the real work begins.

We're developing AI-assisted Origin Determination to help trade teams research these rules, assess product and manufacturing facts, and document reasoned origin conclusions.

Questions

Trade costs, answered.

Can Veros calculate landed costs at SKU level?

Yes. Veros connects customs declaration lines to underlying invoice lines and SKUs, enabling product-level duty and cost analysis. The completeness of the landed cost calculation depends on the availability of commercial, logistics and other relevant cost information.

Does Veros automatically determine whether a product qualifies for preferential tariffs?

Veros can identify potentially applicable preferential tariff opportunities and estimate the financial benefit. Actual eligibility requires assessment against the relevant preferential origin rules and supporting documentation.

We're developing AI-assisted Origin Determination to support that assessment.

Can we track FTA savings opportunities across our business?

Yes. Veros helps you organize identified opportunities, understand their estimated financial value and track their progress through investigation and validation.

Do we need integrations to get started?

No. Veros can begin with uploaded customs and commercial data, including Excel reports from customs brokers. Integrations can be added when they provide additional value.
