Features
A decision package, not a tariff spreadsheet
Enter a product, unit cost, and origin. Nine specialist agents plus deterministic trade modules return a cited package — HTS, ranked markets, corridor comparison, compliance, supply-chain watches, logistics, finance, public-research distributors, anonymized benchmarks, and printable drafts. Open the example report to inspect the live UI.
Report anatomy
Each node maps to a section on the Standard package. Click any block to jump directly to that section on the public sample.
13 Modules
Everything inside the package
Classification / HTS
Candidate U.S. tariff code, Schedule B, confidence, alternatives, and USITC citations. Confirm with a licensed broker before shipping.
Country ranking & landed cost
Markets ranked by projected margin after duties, VAT, and freight bands. Essential unlocks up to two markets; Standard unlocks up to five.
Corridor comparison
Curated duty and freight heuristics across our 25 seed destinations, flagging lower-tariff alternatives outside the ranked markets (up to five on Standard).
Compliance
Sanctions, export-control watch items, and market barriers cited to public OFAC/CSL, BIS, and CBP sources. Watch items — not a live SDN screen.
Supply-chain watches
Dated trade-policy and risk notes from public State, USTR, ITA, CISA, and BIS sources. Planning context — not a live disruption feed.
Market research
Demand, competition, and market-entry notes synthesized from ITA Country Commercial Guides and public trade statistics.
Logistics
Ranked truck, ocean, and air options with cost vs. transit tradeoffs. Estimated freight bands, not carrier quotes or bookings.
Finance
First-export payment terms, recommended Incoterms, and repatriation notes. Decision support — not a credit offer or lender match.
Distributor Finder
Structured buyer and distributor leads from official ITA guides and public directories. Verify every firm yourself; not a partner network.
Anonymized benchmarks
HS6 corridor medians from comparable assessments, shown only when n ≥ 3 exist. Empty is honest — no invented sample sizes or private COGS.
Document drafts (Standard and up)
Standard and Copilot include draft commercial invoice, packing list, certificate-of-origin worksheet modeled on CBP’s form, and shipper’s letter of instruction. You review each draft before you use it.
Copilot chat
Follow-up Q&A on paid reports (5 on Essential, 10 on Standard). Monthly Copilot adds 40 messages and a planning thread per saved product.
Saved products & reassessment
Store SKUs, get automatic alerts when USITC tariff schedules update, and reassess without overwriting earlier reports.
Scope & Boundaries
What Volos does — and what stays with your broker
Essential is $49 for up to two markets. Standard is $99 — the full report, including document drafts. Copilot is for people who assess products regularly. Volos is decision support — not a customs brokerage or a freight booking desk.
