In response to evolving global trade challenges, C.H.

This innovation permits U.S. importers to thoroughly assess their duty exposure down to the SKU level, facilitating accurate cost analysis and strategic planning amid market volatility.

Trade tensions and policy shifts have subjected shippers to a series of U.S. trade actions, including Section 301 and Section 232 duties, with expectations of further changes. The self-serve tool, available 24/7 within C.H. Robinson's global shipper platform, offers real-time updates on trade policy actions impacting inbound U.S. supply chains. This capability allows shippers to stay informed and make proactive decisions to optimize their strategies.

"This tool makes navigating trade complexity faster and more effective," stated Mike Short, President of Global Forwarding at C.H. Robinson. With these capabilities, shippers can reroute freight, consolidate entries, or reassess supplier relationships to align with their financial objectives.

The tool complements C.H. Robinson's existing suite of digital solutions, such as ACE Import Intelligence and U.S. Customs Analytics, providing comprehensive insights to help customers optimize their supply chains. This aligns with findings from a 2025 customer research study indicating that shippers urgently need more data to uncover tariff and duty savings opportunities.

C.H. Robinson assures customers of cutting-edge solutions that facilitate compliance, build sourcing resilience, and support cost-saving decisions, leveraging the company's extensive logistics expertise and data resources.
