Trade Intelligence for Leaders — Not Filing Systems.

Traditional tools show duty rates.
ZTI tells you what changed, why it matters to your business, and what to do about it.

Compliance tool Shows that there is a new regulatory notification from South Korea.
Zolltor Tariff Intelligence Tells you that South Korea's new packaging regulation affects three of your product lines and gives your operations team 90 days to adapt before enforcement begins.

Zolltor Tariff Intelligence does not replace customs filing or compliance systems. It complements them by identifying risks and opportunities before they reach your operational workflow. Compliance systems ensure correct execution at the point of filing; ZTI ensures you see risk and opportunity before it reaches filing.

Duties & Rates: What You Actually Pay

For any product and origin country, ZTI calculates your effective import duty into the EU — not just the headline rate, but the total you’ll actually pay after accounting for trade agreement preferences, anti-dumping surcharges, safeguard measures, and other adjustments.

  • Standard rate, preferential rate, anti-dumping duties, safeguard measures, and total effective rate
  • “What You’ll Likely Pay” — with and without proof of origin
  • “How to Get the Lowest Rate” — actionable steps with savings quantified
  • Executive summary that gets to the point so you don't need to research

Trade Agreements: Where Your Rates Are Heading

Each EU trade agreement includes a schedule of duty reductions that plays out over years — often a decade or more. ZTI builds these schedules into everything it shows you. For any product and origin, you see the year-by-year rate trajectory: what you pay today, what you’ll pay next year, and the exact year the duty reaches zero (if it ever does).

  • Year-by-year duty trajectories per product and origin, under each agreement
  • Future-year country comparisons with savings per €100k of imports
  • Portfolio-wide impact view: all your products, all agreements, one screen
  • Covers agreements in force and recently signed

Includes agreements with declining duty rates: EU-Mercosur · EU-Vietnam · EU-Chile · EU-Japan · EU-New Zealand

Quotas: When to Ship and When to Wait

Many products enter the EU under tariff quotas: a limited volume at a lower duty rate, after which the full rate applies. The difference can be enormous — 0% vs. 25% on the same product. ZTI tracks quota fill rates over time and uses historical patterns to estimate when each quota is likely to run out.

  • Current fill rate, remaining balance, and critical-status declarations
  • Historical exhaustion trends with visual charts
  • Estimated time to exhaustion at current pace
  • Cost difference between the in-quota and out-of-quota rate

Regulatory Signals: Months of Warning, Not Days of Surprise

Most companies learn about duty changes after they take effect. ZTI watches the sources where trade policy is shaped — months or years before it becomes law — and connects those signals to your specific products. An EU parliamentary committee debate today becomes a formal investigation in three months and a new duty in twelve. ZTI captures these signals at every stage.

12-18 months before An EU parliamentary committee debates rising imports in your product sector. ZTI flags it.
6-12 months before The European Commission opens a formal anti-dumping investigation. ZTI alerts you.
3-6 months before Provisional duties are published in the EU’s Official Journal with specific rates. ZTI matches them to your products.
Day zero Final duties take effect. Most companies find out here. You’ve known for a year.

Trade Defence: Anti-Dumping, Safeguards, and Investigations

Anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties, and safeguard measures can add 10-60 percentage points to your import costs overnight. ZTI tracks these measures from the earliest public signal (a complaint filed, an investigation opened) through provisional duties to the final measure.

  • Active and upcoming anti-dumping and countervailing duties affecting your products
  • Investigation tracking from initiation through provisional to definitive measures
  • Safeguard measures with quota allocations and rate schedules

Trade Flows: Who Is Importing What, and How That’s Changing

For any product, ZTI shows you the actual flow of goods: which countries export it to the EU, which EU member states import it, and how volumes are changing year over year. This is the context that turns a duty rate into a market picture.

  • Annual and monthly import/export volumes by partner country
  • Year-over-year growth indicators
  • Heat map of volumes across all 27 EU member states and all partner countries
  • Average unit values by origin
