Import costs are not just a customs issue. They are a margin issue
MarginMining reviews your import documents, landed cost assumptions and duty-treatment evidence to show where costs may need commercial review.
Not customs advice. Not another spreadsheet. A clear review of what is known, what is missing, and what to do next.
Indicative only. MarginMining does not provide customs advice or replace a licensed broker. Material findings should be verified with a licensed specialist before acting.
Know what to fix before the next shipment clears.
Some import cost issues can be actioned with your supplier. Some can be sent to the carrier clearance team already handling the shipment. Others need broker confirmation. MarginMining helps separate the pathway before you spend time or money chasing the wrong thing.
Supplier action
Request origin evidence, product details or invoice changes from your manufacturer before the next shipment clears.
Carrier action
Prepare a clean request for DHL, FedEx, TNT, UPS or your freight forwarder clearance team.
Broker review
Know when classification, TCO, refund or complex origin questions need licensed broker confirmation.
Internal update
Update landed cost, freight allocation and SKU margin assumptions when the issue is internal.
Freight, duty, supplier and inventory signals
The review looks across the documents you upload and the answers you provide, and identifies evidence findings across four pillars: freight, duty, supplier and inventory. It shows what was found and missing, and routes each signal to the right next action.
The inputs that make the review useful
- Supplier invoice
- Import declaration
- Carrier clearance invoice (DHL, FedEx, TNT, UPS or your freight forwarder)
- Freight invoice
- Certificate or declaration of origin, where available
- SKU or product export
- Landed cost file
Partial evidence is acceptable. The review shows what is missing rather than guessing.
A copy-ready pack, not a customs opinion
Each review produces an Action Pack you can download or copy. It contains a short review summary, the evidence reviewed, evidence still to gather, the pathway for each finding, and copy-ready messages for your supplier, carrier clearance team or broker.
The Action Pack does not determine eligibility, entitlement or classification. It prepares the conversation so the right person can confirm the outcome.
Indicative signals across four pillars
Signals around shipping mode, consolidation and landed-cost visibility that may warrant review.
Tariff classification, origin and concession questions to confirm with a licensed broker.
Documentation, valuation and origin-evidence signals that may need to be strengthened.
Cost-base, holding and movement signals that may affect landed cost and margin clarity.
Findings are indicative and based on the information you provide. They are not a substitute for customs, tax or legal advice.
