project44 launched a Tariff Simulator, a free calculator that enables businesses to instantly determine U.S. import duties and tariffs using HTS codes, providing critical intelligence as companies navigate the aftermath of expired Section 301 exclusions and ongoing tariff volatility.
"Over the last six months, I’ve met hundreds of global 2000 companies who are struggling to optimize their procurement and transportation decisions because of the ever-changing tariff schedule," says project44 founder and CEO Jett McCandless. "We made the decision to release Tariff Simulator at no cost on our website because helping businesses navigate trade complexity is part of our mission to create better supply chains."
Key takeaways:
· The free calculator allows users to input any HTS code, country of origin and product value for instant calculations; view comprehensive duty breakdowns by tariff type including Base tariffs, Section 301, Section 232, anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties; access historical rate changes; and calculate precise dollar impact on import costs for budget planning.
· The Tariff Simulator joins project44's suite of tariff resources and represents Phase 1 of the company's expanded tariff analytics initiative. Enhanced capabilities integrating tariff intelligence with customer product catalogs and in-transit inventory data are planned for Q3 2025.
