Tariff changes hit unevenly across parts and finished goods depending on origin, HTS code, and routing. A Tariff Exposure Scoring Playbook reads parts data, country-of-origin information, HTS classification, and current and proposed tariff schedules to quantify exposure per part and product line.
The Challenge
The trade and compliance team knows the HTS codes. Procurement knows the spend. Without joining them, the team cannot see that $14M of spend sits in HTS codes facing a proposed tariff change vs $84M in stable codes. The exposure conversation runs on aggregate without specificity.
A part sourced from a domestic supplier may incorporate components from countries subject to tariff changes. Without tier-2 origin tracking, the true exposure stays invisible until the tariff hits and the component cost passes through.
The exposure team often models actual current tariffs cleanly but treats proposed changes anecdotally. When a proposed change becomes a real one, the modeling work happens under crisis pressure rather than ready in advance.
How eyko Solves It
A Tariff Exposure Scoring Playbook reads parts master data, HTS classifications, country-of-origin information for tier-1 and tier-2 where available, current tariff schedules, and proposed and announced tariff changes to score every part, product, and lane on tariff exposure. It sizes the dollar exposure under current and proposed scenarios, identifies the highest-impact moves (re-classification, supplier shift, in-country sourcing) and ranks them by exposure reduction per move.
The Playbook scored 4,200 parts and 18 product lines against current and 3 proposed tariff scenarios. Current annual tariff exposure: $4.8M. Proposed scenario A would lift exposure to $8.2M. 24 parts account for 64% of the exposure delta and are the highest-leverage targets for mitigation. 8 parts have viable re-classification opportunities where the current HTS code may be sub-optimal.

| Primary indicator | Flagged | Target | Action needed |
| Secondary indicator | Monitoring | Within range | On track |
| Trend direction | Declining | Stable | Review required |
Tariff Exposure Scoring quantifies tariff exposure per part, product, and lane using parts master data, HTS classifications, country-of-origin information (including tier-2 where available), current tariff schedules, and proposed and announced changes. The Playbook sizes dollar exposure under current and scenario tariffs, identifies the highest-impact mitigation moves, and ranks them by exposure reduction so trade, procurement, and finance leadership see the exposure quantified rather than abstract.

FAQ
Everything you need to know about Tariff Exposure Map.
Tariff Exposure Scoring is an AI-driven quantification of tariff exposure per part, product, and lane using parts master data, HTS classifications, country-of-origin information, current tariff schedules, and proposed and announced changes. The Playbook sizes dollar exposure under current and scenario tariffs, identifies the highest-impact mitigation moves, and ranks them by exposure reduction so leadership sees the exposure quantified rather than abstract.
The Playbook reads from your ERP or procurement system (parts master, supplier data, country-of-origin records), trade compliance system (HTS classifications, customs broker data), tier-2 origin data where collected (supplier disclosures, industry mapping), external tariff feeds (current schedules, proposed and announced changes), and bill of materials data. At least 18 months of paired trade-and-cost data anchors the scoring.
Tariff-impact analyses are typically ad hoc and run when a specific tariff change is imminent. Tariff Exposure Scoring is continuous: it scores exposure across the parts base against current and proposed scenarios so the mitigation playbook is ready when announcements happen rather than scrambling under deadline pressure. The two are complementary, but continuous scoring is what enables proactive mitigation.
Yes. For each high-exposure part the Playbook recommends specific moves: HTS re-classification investigation with trade and compliance, sourcing diversification to lower-exposure origins, tier-2 origin mapping where the tier-1 supplier sources globally, and proactive customer communication where tariff increases will pass through. Each recommendation projects exposure reduction so leadership prioritizes the highest-leverage moves.
