Unexpected rate hikes mid-shipment, comment windows that close, refund deadlines that expire quietly. Tariff Wire watches what you import every day and pings you only when your business is affected, with the official source linked so you can verify it yourself.

Three ways tariffs quietly cost you money. We watch all three.
The duty changes mid-shipment and your landed cost moves before you can react.
You had a chance to weigh in or claim relief, but the deadline passed quietly.
Duties you already paid could have come back, but the protest window closed first.
Sample alert in the exact format Tariff Wire sends. Titles, dates, and document numbers below are illustrative, and figures assume the import values shown. Our dated call log at proof.html has no verified entries yet, so we show samples, not claims.
Subject: HS 8471.30 duty up 25pts Oct 15: ~$50k/yr at risk
DEADLINE (UPCOMING): takes effect in 16 days.
What changed: Section 301 determination: additional 25 percent duties on automatic data processing machines and units.
Your watchlist codes hit: HS 847130. Published: 2026-09-29 (USTR). Takes effect: 16 days after publication.
What this means for you: on stated ~$200k/year of imports in this category, a 25-point duty increase means roughly $50,000 more in duties per year once effective (Oct 15). Estimate only. Your broker confirms the actual duty.
What to do next: forward this email to your customs broker and ask if your goods are covered, and whether to accelerate or delay shipments around the effective date.
STATUS: Detected today from the official notice text. The exact duty rate is NOT yet confirmed. Official source linked in every alert.
Every alert labels honesty plainly: detected means found the same day in a published document with the rate not yet confirmed, confirmed means matched to the official structured tariff schedule. General information only, not customs brokerage or legal advice.
Three steps. You do the first one in about sixty seconds, we handle the rest.
Plain English, not HS codes. "Stainless steel fittings from China" is perfect. Tell us what you sell and where it comes from.
We monitor the Federal Register, USTR actions, CBP notices, and court decisions daily, and map them against the products you described.
No firehose. One clear alert when a change touches your business, with the official source and date so you always know what is real.
On 2026-02-20 the Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, so the IEEPA duties many importers already paid are now refundable. CBP processes the refunds through a system called CAPE. Each entry carries its own clock, and one group of importers currently has no way to file at all.
Open since 2026-04-20. Covers entries CBP has not yet liquidated, plus entries within 80 days of liquidation.
Open since 2026-06-29. Covers entries flagged for reconciliation.
Live since 2026-10-06. Covers finally liquidated entries, but only for importers who sued at the Court of International Trade and submitted importer information by 2026-07-30.
If you paid IEEPA duties, join the list and share your entry dates during setup. We track the February 2027 date alongside the rest of your watchlist and ping you before it closes. Founding members lock $29/month.
One missed deadline costs more than a year of monitoring. Sample math: a 10-point hike on ~$1.2M of auto parts is roughly $120,000 a year in extra duties. Tariff Wire is $49 a month. Cancel anytime.

No. Tariff Wire is general educational information, not customs brokerage and not legal advice. We report trade actions at the HS-6 product-category level with official source links. We do not make per-entry classification determinations, file anything with CBP, or act as your broker. Keep your broker. We just make sure you know what to ask them about.
Every alert carries its source and date. We label each item honestly: detected means we found it the same day in a published document but the structured rate is not confirmed yet; confirmed means it matches the official structured tariff schedule. We never present a same-day detection as settled truth.
When tariffs change, importers sometimes have a window to claim refunds on duties already paid, including the 180-day protest window after liquidation. When you share the date ranges of the entries you want to recover, we track those deadlines from your dates so a refund opportunity never expires quietly. Until you share dates, there is no personal deadline to track.
No. Describe your products in plain English during setup and we map them internally. You never have to look at a tariff schedule unless you want to.
Yes. Monthly billing, no retention calls. Email [email protected] asking to cancel and we will cancel it for you and confirm back within a day. You can also cancel yourself on the manage billing page, which opens the Stripe customer portal for your subscription, or reply to any of our emails asking to cancel. Either way, alerts stop at the end of the current billing period.
Start with your card on file and pay nothing for 7 days. You get the full Pro watchlist and refund-deadline tracking setup from day one. Email alerts begin when the brief goes live. Cancel before day 7 and you are never charged. After the trial, it is $29/month (founding, while spots last), $49/month, or $490/year, whichever you picked.
7-day money-back guarantee. If the service is not useful in your first 7 paid days, email [email protected] for a full refund of that period.
