TariffVault, launched by Venture Outsource LLC, scores the U.S. tariff stack on pre-loaded electronics HS lines for OEM sourcing teams and EMS providers. Distributors are the channel that serves them.
A sourcing lead who prices a program in 2026 is pricing a tariff stack that can change by country and by order. The MFN rate is the base. Section 301, Section 201, Section 232, reciprocal surcharges, and AD/CVD orders sit on top of it. On some China-origin electronics lines the effective rate now clears 40 percent. This makes origin a program decision. Once a line is locked to a country and an EMS provider, moving later is slow and expensive because duty follows the program for years.
HTS 8537.10, boards and panels for electric control or distribution of electricity, not exceeding 1,000 v. Effective rate by country as of October 3, 2026 UTC, for China, Mexico, Vietnam, India, and Taiwan.
TariffVault scores that decision on the HS line, in the first session. Electronics tariff lines are pre-loaded. A sourcing lead opens a line, compares origins, sees where one country or one shipping route carries the supply, and splits a tariff hit across absorb, pass-through, and relocate, before the commitment is made.
The HTS Supply Intelligence Report scores the stack on a line. The Electronics Sourcing Risk Atlas shows where one country or one shipping route carries supply. The Workforce and Sourcing Scenario Modeler splits absorb, pass-through, and relocate.
