Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Mexico ROI calculation work?

The calculator compares your current total duty rate (MFN + Section 301 + Section 232 + Section 122) against what you would pay if you sourced from Mexico with USMCA eligibility. It factors in real tariff rates from our database, not estimates.

Does this account for USMCA qualification?

Yes. If the product qualifies under USMCA rules of origin (Regional Value Content thresholds, tariff shift rules), the Mexico rate drops to the USMCA preferential rate, which is 0% for most products. The calculator shows both scenarios.

What about nearshoring costs beyond tariffs?

This calculator focuses on the tariff savings component. Actual nearshoring ROI also depends on labor costs, logistics, supplier qualification, and transition timeline. The tariff savings shown here are the most quantifiable and immediate benefit.

Are Section 301 tariffs included in the comparison?

Yes. Section 301 tariffs (7.5%-100% on Chinese goods) are the primary driver of nearshoring ROI. When you move sourcing from China to Mexico, these tariffs are eliminated entirely. The calculator shows the full tariff stack for both scenarios.
