Harmonized tariff schedule advisory services

We help you understand whether the right codes are being used and what the tariff impact will be on your business. We also develop a process of tracking movement with each new tariff decision.

USMCA compliance

Make sure you’re correctly navigating the USMCA agreement and compliance. Wipfli brings the right information to the table, including evaluating your specific products and the impact on them.

Supply chain support

Wipfli can help you understand the strategic implications of reshoring, including long-term and short-term plays, and identify new opportunities. Because many goods will be impacted by China Section 301 tariffs (specifically stamping dies and molds), we can help you find new sources for your parts in the U.S. or North American markets. We can also help you navigate the impact of tariffs on automation equipment and machinery, most of which is not made in the U.S., and develop strategies with you to support future investments.

Scenario planning and financial modeling

Given the fast-changing nature of tariff policy and the need for strategic thinking and backup plans, we help you develop tariff tracking mechanisms and scenario planning exercises for each part.

We also support financial modeling for each critical purchasing decision to support the scenario plans, as well as help you determine the impact of new and future tariffs on your financial statements.

International, federal, state and local tax

Wipfli helps determine which states subject the tariff portion of a good or part to sales and use tax and how tariffs will impact your profitability in each filing jurisdiction. We produce an analysis that provides the “bridge” between IRS transfer pricing methods/requirements and U.S. Customs transfer pricing valuation methods. Through this analysis, you can determine the appropriate arm’s length price for intercompany sales acceptable to both IRS and CBP.

Tax and accounting opportunities

We can analyze options for unbundling (i.e., itemizing components of intercompany transactions) the dutiable value of goods. This improves customs and TP compliance by helping ensure duties are not paid on non-dutiable elements. This also supports accurate functional segmentation and benchmarking. With the costs of raw materials rising due to tariffs and inflation, Wipfli can also help evaluate other methods of accounting, such as LIFO, to assess potential tax savings.

Sales opportunities and processes

The new tariff policy creates sales opportunities for many companies. Wipfli can provide support at the sales team level to help you identify needs with your customers that you can support to bring new work to your business. We help you develop a sales process framework to capitalize on reshoring. Wipfli’s sales process team can also help augment your sales team to strategize how the tariffs can work in favor of your business. We can help identify opportunities, both within the U.S. and internationally, as part of strategic planning.

Automotive tariff advisory services

Automotive tariffs create additional complexity. Wipfli’s automotive team works with you to navigate these challenges and develop the right strategies for your business. Our team provides clear guidance to help ensure compliance with USMCA regulations and can work with you in a consultative approach to navigate tariff, trade and supply chain problems.
