Four questions that cost real money if you get them wrong.
Do I owe CBAM? Does this consignment qualify for zero-duty preference? What is the demurrage clock actually costing me? How far is that sea lane really — because it isn't the straight line. Each tool runs the same engine our platform runs, answers in seconds, and tells you where the answer stops being reliable.
Every one runs a real engine, not a lookup table.
Each is indicative decision support. Where an answer depends on something we can't see — the binding Annex rule, your carrier's tariff, your verified supplier emissions — the tool says so rather than guessing at it.
CBAM liability check
Iron & steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen. Tells you first whether you're under the de-minimis — 50 t/yr in the EU, £50,000/12 months in the UK — because most SME importers are, and owe nothing at all. Above it, an indicative embedded-emissions figure with the default mark-up shown separately from the base factor.
Rules-of-origin qualification
UK–EU TCA, UK–Japan CEPA, DCTS, CPTPP, AfCFTA. Says whether the consignment qualifies for preferential (often zero) duty and what proof you'd need to hold. Without the confirmed per-HS Product-Specific Rule the verdict is capped at "likely" — a wrong preference claim means the full duty plus a penalty.
Demurrage & detention exposure
Two clocks, not one: demurrage runs on the box sitting at the port, detention runs on the box being off the port and not yet returned. Enter the dates and see what's already incurred, what's still accruing, and how many free days you have left. Indicative — the carrier tariff decides.
Sea-route distance & transit
Ships don't travel in straight lines. Shanghai to Felixstowe is 18,972 km via Suez against a 9,176 km great circle — a 2.07× detour, and 25,154 km if Suez is closed and you round the Cape. Named waypoints, canals and straits, plus the Cape alternative when a canal is used.
The bigger decisions have their own front doors.
