Sellers wire money to a 1688 supplier, then find the real cost — duty, VAT, freight, prep, MOQ — after it lands and the margin is gone. Supplymo is 12 free tools that answer those questions before you pay: HS code & import duty, landed cost, CBM with a 3D container load check, shipping comparison, MOQ break-even, supplier risk screening, restricted goods, and Incoterms 2020. No signup. Estimates, not fixed-rate promises. Built by a sourcing team in Yiwu, China.

Hey PH 👋 I'm Liam, based in Yiwu, China, where a lot of this stuff actually ships from. We kept watching the same thing happen: someone finds a product on 1688 or Alibaba, the unit price looks great, they wire the money — and the real cost only shows up later. Duty they didn't classify. VAT nobody mentioned. Freight priced on volumetric weight, not actual weight. Prep work they didn't budget. By then the margin is gone. So we built the checks we run internally, as free tools: • HS code & import duty — find a starting point, then see the official tariff path for your destination • Landed cost — the all-in number before you pay, not after • CBM + 3D container load check — it will tell you when your cartons don't actually fit (that one surprises people) • MOQ break-even, supplier risk screening, restricted goods, Incoterms 2020, and a before-payment checklist No signup, no paywall. One thing we're deliberate about: these give estimates plus what still needs verifying with official sources. Customs isn't something anyone should promise a fixed number on, and tools that pretend otherwise cause real damage. Would love your feedback — especially: what's the check you wish you'd run before your first China order?

The Yiwu sourcing team angle is what sold me, and the 3D container load check actually works way better than the usual spreadsheets. Useful for anyone tired of getting nickel and dimed after the wire transfer clears.
