CASE FILE NO. TG-2026-01
Compliance is your six-to-seven-figure blind spot.
Freight optimization saves a rounding error. A misclassified HS code doesn't.
Two lanes. One blind spot.
Tarsis Global exists for one reason: the rate you were quoted has a shelf life, and most importers find out after the entry is already filed.
12.5%
US ↔ Korea
Korea’s 10% Section 122 global surcharge expired July 24, 2026, and Section 301 forced-labor tariffs took its place that same day, landing Korean goods in the 12.5% tier.
US ↔ Korea15%US ↔ Germany
Germany and the wider EU now sit under a 15% Section 232 tariff ceiling on pharmaceutical and industrial goods, set by Presidential Proclamation 11020.
US ↔ Germany
The Leverage
Same industry. Different ledger. A freight broker is paid to move the box. Nobody is paid to notice what’s wrong with the paperwork inside it, until it costs you six to seven figures.
What brokers chase
- 01More loads booked this quarter
- 02Bigger margins on the freight line
- 03A larger book of carrier relationships
What actually costs you
- 01A misclassified HS code, caught in a CBP audit, not before.
- 02AD/CVD exposure a freight quote never screens for.
- 03Section 232 melt-and-pour paperwork your mill never sends.
