● Leah identifies supplier details and manufacturing origins to assess geographic diversity and potential exposure to high-risk regions.
● Leah clarifies tariff payment responsibilities between buyer and supplier, including obligations triggered by new government regulations.
● Leah highlights delivery terms such as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), where the supplier assumes responsibility for tariffs, transportation, and delivery, directly translating into minimized legal and financial risk for the buyer and strengthening their position in potential disputes.

This analysis includes price escalation protections and notification requirements, force majeure activation pathways with required evidence standards, termination rights with optimal timing strategies, renegotiation triggers based on tariff thresholds, and price adjustment rights with enforcement protocols.
