Capability Overview

Trade Intelligence & Cost Modeling provides the analytical and decision-making foundation for governed global trade execution.

This capability automates the classification, costing, and compliance logic required to accurately model cross-border transactions before execution occurs. By integrating product data, regulatory context, and jurisdiction-specific rules, the system produces authoritative landed-cost and trade intelligence outputs in real time.

This eliminates reliance on manual classification, static rate tables, and fragmented compliance checks.

Automated HS Classification

The platform applies AI-enabled classification logic to assign harmonized system (HS) codes at scale.

Key characteristics include:

• Model-assisted classification with confidence scoring

• Exception handling for ambiguous or high-risk classifications

• Continuous improvement through feedback and validation loops

• Full auditability of classification decisions

This approach supports enterprise volumes while maintaining regulatory defensibility.

Live DDP Landed-Cost Calculation

Trade Intelligence & Cost Modeling calculates delivered-duty-paid (DDP) landed cost dynamically across jurisdictions.

The system accounts for:

• Duties, taxes, and tariff schedules

• Fees, surcharges, and ancillary trade costs

• Jurisdiction-specific regulatory requirements

• Commercial terms and routing assumptions

Landed-cost outputs are generated in real time and can be used for pricing, margin analysis, sourcing decisions, and execution validation.

Jurisdiction-Specific Compliance Logic

Compliance is treated as a system function, not a manual checkpoint.

This capability embeds:

• Country-specific trade rules and restrictions

• Product-level regulatory constraints

• Documentation and reporting requirements

• Risk detection and exception signaling

Compliance logic is applied consistently across transactions, reducing operational risk and regulatory exposure.

Decision Support & Scenario Modeling

Beyond execution, the platform supports strategic modeling and forecasting.

Enterprises can:

• Simulate landed cost under different sourcing or routing scenarios

• Evaluate regulatory impact across markets

• Protect margins through informed pricing decisions

• Identify cost and compliance risks before execution

This allows trade intelligence to inform both operational and strategic decisions.

Role Within the Platform Architecture

Trade Intelligence & Cost Modeling functions as the analytical core of the Project 14X execution architecture.

It directly informs:

• Marketplace execution and channel orchestration

• Multimodal logistics and fulfillment routing

• Compliance automation and audit readiness

• End-to-end traceability and reconciliation

Together, these components enable intelligence-driven, compliant global trade execution.
