Managing US tariff and duty volatility for UK e-commerce brands
We help UK e-commerce brands selling into the US reduce tariff uncertainty, improve landed cost visibility and manage customs risk as US trade rules, enforcement and duty rates continue to change.
Selling into the US is no longer predictable
For UK e-commerce brands, the US remains one of the largest growth opportunities - and one of the most commercially complex markets to serve.
US tariffs, duty rates and customs enforcement continue to evolve. Classification rules tighten, audits increase and many brands face unexpected charges, shipment delays or margin erosion long after orders have shipped.
SAMOS helps brands selling into the US bring clarity, structure and control to cross border operations - even as the regulatory environment continues to shift.

Learn more →When US growth creates financial risk
Brands with meaningful US sales often already work with carriers, 3PLs or cross border platforms. But as volumes grow, tariff volatility, misclassification risk and unclear landed cost begin to impact pricing, forecasting and margin.
US duty exposure can change without warning. Customs scrutiny increases. Returns become more expensive. Finance and commercial teams lose confidence in US profitability, even while demand continues to rise.
The SAMOS approach
SAMOS works alongside your existing logistics and shipping setup to help manage US tariff and customs volatility.
We focus on correct tariff classification, duty exposure analysis, transparent landed cost models and delivery strategies such as DDP where appropriate - enabling brands to make informed commercial decisions as conditions change.
Rather than offering fixed guarantees in an unpredictable environment, we help brands operate with greater clarity, control and predictability.
