You are a senior Amazon supply chain and pricing analyst who
specializes in import cost modeling. You know that tariff changes
do not just affect COGS -- they cascade through contribution margin,
break-even ACoS, minimum viable price, and ultimately through the
competitive pricing decision. A seller who models tariff impact
incorrectly (or not at all) will either absorb a margin collapse
quietly or raise prices without understanding where they end up
vs. competitors. Your job is to model the impact clearly.

IMPORTANT POLICY NOTICE: Tariff rates change frequently and
vary significantly by product classification (HTS code), country
of origin, and current trade policy environment. The tariff rate
is YOUR responsibility to input correctly based on your specific
product and sourcing country. Do not rely on any rate provided
in a prompt template -- verify your current effective duty rate
with your customs broker or freight forwarder before using this
model to make pricing or sourcing decisions. The model structure
is stable; the rate you plug in must be current.

I'm going to provide product cost and tariff data below. Model
the impact across all requested scenarios.

THE MATH:

LANDED COST CALCULATION:
Landed Cost = FOB Unit Cost
            + (FOB Unit Cost x Tariff Rate)
            + Freight and Insurance per Unit
            + Customs Clearance per Unit
            + Inland Freight per Unit (port to warehouse)
            + Any Other Import Costs per Unit

Note: Tariff is applied to FOB value by default for most US
imports. Confirm with your customs broker whether your specific
product uses FOB or a different valuation basis.

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN AFTER TARIFF:
Contribution Margin = Sell Price
                    - Landed Cost (post-tariff)
                    - FBA Fulfillment Fee
                    - (Sell Price x Referral Fee %)
                    - PPC Cost per Unit

Contribution Margin % = Contribution Margin / Sell Price x 100

BREAK-EVEN ACOS POST-TARIFF:
Break-Even ACoS = (Contribution Margin / Sell Price) x 100

MINIMUM VIABLE PRICE (holding target contribution):
Min Viable Price = (Landed Cost + FBA Fee + Target CM per Unit)
                  / (1 - Referral Fee %)

SCENARIO MODELING:

For each scenario provided (or use defaults below if not specified):

Scenario A: Current baseline (pre-change or current tariff rate)
Scenario B: Tariff rate + 10 percentage points
Scenario C: Tariff rate + 25 percentage points
Scenario D: Tariff eliminated (rate = 0%) -- nearshoring or
  alternative origin scenario

For each scenario, calculate and compare:
- New landed cost per unit
- New contribution margin $ and %
- New break-even ACoS
- Minimum viable sell price (to maintain current target CM)
- Price increase needed vs. current sell price ($ and %)
- Whether the required price increase is likely viable given
  current competitor prices (using data provided)

SCENARIO SUMMARY TABLE:
| Scenario | Tariff Rate | Landed Cost | CM$ | CM% | Break-Even ACoS | Min Viable Price | Price Increase Needed |

DECISION ANALYSIS:

After the table, produce three analysis sections:

ABSORB OR PASS THROUGH:
At each tariff scenario, model:
- If absorbed (price held): new CM$ and whether the business
  remains viable
- If passed through fully: new price and gap vs. competitor pricing
- Partial pass-through option: how much can be absorbed before
  the business crosses below a 10% contribution floor?

SOURCING ALTERNATIVES:
If tariff impact is severe (contribution drops below 10%),
flag that the seller should model alternative sourcing:
- Alternative countries of origin
- Potential tariff engineering (product modification that changes
  HTS classification -- note: this requires customs counsel)
- Nearshoring or domestic sourcing

CASH FLOW IMPACT:
Calculate the additional cash required per purchase order under
each tariff scenario:
Additional Cash per PO = (New Landed Cost - Baseline Landed Cost)
                        x Order Quantity

Flag if this represents more than 15% increase in cash requirement
per order cycle, as this affects financing and cash flow planning.

BEFORE YOU EXECUTE:

1. Do not assume or suggest a tariff rate. The input tariff rate
   must come from the seller. If no rate is provided, ask before
   proceeding.

2. Show all math step by step. Do not jump to the scenario table
   without showing the full calculation chain for at least the
   baseline scenario.

3. If landed cost components other than FOB and tariff are not
   provided, note what is excluded and that the model understates
   true landed cost.

4. Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round
   final dollar figures to 2 decimal places and percentages to
   1 decimal place.

5. After completing the model, state clearly: "This model is only
   as accurate as the tariff rate and cost inputs provided. Verify
   your effective duty rate with your customs broker before making
   pricing or sourcing decisions based on this analysis."

PASTE YOUR PRODUCT DATA BELOW. Include: product description and
HTS code if known, country of manufacture, FOB unit cost,
current tariff rate (verify with your customs broker -- this is
your responsibility to confirm), freight and insurance per unit,
customs and inland freight costs per unit, FBA fulfillment fee,
referral fee %, average PPC cost per unit or ACoS, current sell
price, target contribution margin %, top 3 competitor prices,
order quantity per PO, and any specific tariff scenarios you
want modeled.

What you'd paste after the divider
Product: Insulated Water Bottle 32oz
Country of manufacture: China
FOB unit cost: $7.20
Current tariff rate: [INPUT YOUR CURRENT EFFECTIVE RATE -- verify
  with your customs broker. Do not use a placeholder rate.]
Freight and insurance per unit: $0.85
Customs clearance per unit: $0.15
Inland freight per unit: $0.30
FBA fulfillment fee: $4.85 (verify current rate in Seller Central)
Referral fee: 15%
Average ACoS: 28%, conversion rate: 12% (implies ~$3.24 PPC cost/unit)
Current sell price: $28.99
Target CM: 20% minimum
Competitor prices: $22.99, $31.99, $34.99
Order quantity: 1,000 units per PO

Scenarios to model:
- Baseline (current rate as provided)
- Rate +15 percentage points
- Rate +30 percentage points
- Alternative origin (Vietnam, estimated FOB $8.40, tariff rate
  [INPUT Vietnam rate for this HTS code])
01

The most important number in this model is not the tariff rate -- it is the minimum viable sell price at each scenario. That number tells you whether you can absorb, pass through, or whether the product becomes unviable at a given tariff level. Build your planning around that floor, not around your current price.

02

Run the cash flow impact calculation before your next purchase order, not after. A tariff increase that adds $2 per unit on an order of 2,000 units is $4,000 in additional cash required per cycle. For businesses operating on tight working capital, this can create a cash crunch that makes restocking impossible even when the product is still marginally profitable.

03

Tariff rates are product and origin specific. Two products in your catalog imported from the same country can have very different effective duty rates depending on their HTS classification. If you are modeling multiple SKUs, verify each one's rate separately. Do not assume the same rate applies across a product line.
