"What even is a tariff?"
Lesson four, in plain English, with the numbers worked out on your own product.
Everything you need to start selling your handmade work across borders — tariffs, tax, customs paperwork, packaging, other countries' import laws and the new margins that come with all of it. Then a Global desk inside your dashboard that keeps running it for you.
"What even is a tariff?"
Lesson four, in plain English, with the numbers worked out on your own product.
"Will customs seize my candles?"
Material-by-material warnings for wax, soap, wood, leather and food — before you list.
"Am I still making money on this?"
A landed-cost tool that shows exactly how much margin the border eats, and the price that keeps it.
"Which form? CN22? CN23?"
One page. Which form, which box, what to write so the parcel clears.
Short, practical, and written for one person at a bench — not a logistics department. Every lesson ends with one thing to do, and it lands in your planner.
