Paste a factory quote.
Get landed cost in seconds.

OpenAI parses text, PDF, or image quotes and computes duties, freight, and total landed cost.

TradeSight is a private landed cost calculator built for importers. Drop in a factory quote in any format — pasted text, uploaded PDF, or a photo of a document — and OpenAI Vision extracts every line item, looks up the duty rate, prices the freight, and returns a complete cost breakdown before you finish your coffee.

[ WHAT WE BUILT ]

Any format. Full breakdown.

Document Parsing
OpenAI Vision

Paste raw text, upload a PDF, or photograph a handwritten quote. OpenAI Vision extracts product names, unit costs, MOQs, payment terms, and HS codes regardless of layout or format.

Duties Calculation
Section 301 + MFN Rates

Extracted HS codes run against current US tariff schedules — Section 301 China tariffs, base MFN rates — with country-of-origin logic applied automatically.

Freight Estimation
Ocean · Air · Incoterm-Aware

Freight costs computed by Incoterm — FOB, CIF, DDP — with ocean and air rate data applied to the shipment weight and volume extracted from the quote.

Full Cost Output
Factory → Customer Price

Factory cost + freight + duties + brokerage fees + margin target = what to charge customers. Every number is itemized and exportable.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

Quote in. Numbers out.

STEP 01
INGEST

User pastes text, uploads a PDF (pdf-parse extracts structured text), or uploads a photo. Image PDFs fall back to OpenAI Vision automatically.

STEP 02
PARSE

OpenAI Vision extracts a structured JSON object: line items, unit prices, quantities, HS codes, Incoterm, country of origin, and payment terms.

STEP 03
CALCULATE

HS codes looked up against live tariff tables. Freight rates applied by Incoterm and shipment dimensions. Brokerage and customs fees added.

STEP 04
OUTPUT

Itemized landed cost breakdown with factory cost, freight, duties, fees, and margin target. One number to quote the customer.
