NEW Tariff Analyzer Tool Helps Sellers Protect Margins and Plan Smarter 

You can’t afford to guess how tariffs are affecting your business.

That’s why we created the new Tariff Analyzer feature to break down cost impact at the SKU level, compare sourcing options, and gives you a clear view of where your bottom line stands. Built for sellers navigating today’s volatility, this tool puts actionable margin insights in an easy-to-use dashboard.

What Is the Tariff Analyzer? 

Tariff Analyzer is a built-in planning tool designed to help you: 

• Assess the estimated cost impact of new tariffs by country of origin 

• Compare profit margins before and after tariffs at the SKU level 

• Model price adjustments required to maintain current profit margins 

• Explore alternative sourcing scenarios from other countries 

• Make faster, smarter decisions about pricing and supply chain strategy 

You’ll find this tool within the Profits tab in your Helium 10 dashboard. From there, it’s as simple as selecting a SKU, setting the country of origin, and letting the tool calculate the estimated tariff cost based on your cost of goods sold (COGS). 

Real-Time Margin Scenarios Built In 

The Tariff Analyzer shows both pre-tariff and post-tariff profit estimates, flagging SKUs that are at risk of falling into negative margin territory. The tool then calculates what new selling price would be required to maintain your previous margin. This allows you to forecast the downstream effects of your current pricing strategy—or lack thereof. 

If you’ve properly input your COGS into Helium 10 Profits, the calculations are near-instant. Sellers can quickly spot which products are in the red, what kind of price hike would be necessary to compensate, and how those changes might impact competitiveness. 

Sourcing Comparison: A Critical Strategic View 

One of the most useful features of the Tariff Analyzer is its ability to simulate alternate sourcing options. Sellers can select other countries (such as Vietnam, Mexico, or even Uzbekistan) to understand how a change in supplier region could mitigate tariff exposure. 

For example, if a bath mat sourced from China drops into negative profit with the new tariff, switching to Vietnam might reduce the tariff enough to retain a slim profit or require a much smaller price increase.

Why This Feature Matters for Sellers of Every Size

This feature is about staying in control. Too often, sellers react late to market changes, only to realize their margins have evaporated. The Tariff Analyzer offers a way to anticipate those margin drops, evaluate pricing responses, and even explore production shifts before damage is done. 

While the calculations are estimates and rely on accurate COGS data, the clarity this tool brings can mean the difference between surviving a tariff spike and unknowingly selling at a loss.
