Recent tariff chaos has forced every manufacturer to take a closer look at their HTS codes, and realize how vulnerable they are. All it takes is one small change, and the impact on margin is immediate.

Yet HTS classification is still scattered across spreadsheets, supplier guesses, broker emails, and outdated systems. Some parts haven’t been looked at in years. Others carry duties no one can explain. And every time the tariff schedule updates, it’s a scramble to see what changed.

The result is silent margin erosion. Overpayments buried inside landed costs. Missed opportunities to lower duties through better classification or shifting sourcing to countries with special agreements. And exposure that stays hidden until it turns into an audit, a fine, or a margin hit no one saw coming.

HTS classification should be treated as a living, strategic process, not a one-time task. Protecting margin means having real visibility into where duties are bleeding through. Finding savings means uncovering better classifications and smarter sourcing opportunities before costs show up. Reducing risk means having a built-in audit trail so you’re ready before the questions start coming.

That's why we're building Navo. We’re starting by giving manufacturers a single, always-current source of truth for every part’s HTS code, enriched with live duty rates and the context you need to see real margin impact at a glance. Because when a single HTS code rate change can erase margins overnight, classification can’t be an ad-hoc chore; it has to be a strategic, data-driven discipline baked into everyday operations.
