Understanding Tariff Challenges for Global Businesses

Tariffs and customs duties affect every business that imports or exports goods. They increase costs, delay shipments, and create accounting headaches. When rates change, finance and supply chain teams must quickly adjust to avoid profit loss.

Without a centralized system, many companies still track tariff data in spreadsheets. This often leads to missed cost updates and reporting errors. That’s where Microsoft Business Central makes a real difference.

How Business Central Simplifies Tariff Management

1. Real-Time Tracking of Import and Duty Costs

Business Central helps users track every tariff and customs fee in real time. When goods arrive, the system automatically applies the right duty codes and updates landed cost values. This ensures your product costs always reflect the true import expense.

With this feature, finance teams can make faster, more accurate pricing and margin decisions.

2. Built-In Tools for Trade Compliance

Compliance is one of the biggest pain points in international trade. Business Central helps you stay compliant with customs regulations by managing item classifications, trade agreements, and duty codes in one place.

You can easily generate customs documentation, track country of origin, and review all import/export transactions. This helps businesses avoid costly fines and penalties.

3. Detailed Cost Analysis and Reporting

Business Central gives users powerful reporting tools that show how tariffs and duties impact profit margins. You can view total landed costs by item, vendor, or country.

This level of detail helps management see where to cut costs or renegotiate supplier terms.
