Relying on China-based suppliers, but you're not sure how much tariff pressure your store could handle?
This checker gives you a quick read on where the pressure is most likely to show up first. We look at where your customers are, how dependent you are on China-based supply, and how much room you have in your margins.
Answer four questions one by one. At the end, you'll see your risk level and which part of your setup is worth reviewing first.
Start with the risk level, then look at what is driving it.
A lower-risk result means your current setup has more room to absorb changes. That might come from stronger margins, a broader supplier base, or less exposure to US-bound orders from China.
If you land in the middle, look for the weak point before it becomes a bigger problem. Thin margins are very different from being too dependent on one fulfillment route.
And if the result is high or severe, don't try to fix everything at once. Start with the factor creating the most exposure and work from there.
The checker starts with where most of your customers are.
Then we look at your supplier footprint. A store that depends heavily on China-based fulfillment can react differently to tariff or customs changes than one using local inventory or multiple sourcing regions.
Margin room matters too. If there isn't much left between your landed cost and selling price, even a relatively small increase in cost can be harder to absorb.
Finally, we look at what you've already changed. A store that has started diversifying suppliers or moving inventory closer to customers may have more options than one that hasn't adapted yet.
This is an exposure check, not a landed-cost calculator or customs ruling.
The actual impact on an order can depend on the product, how it is classified, where it ships from, and how the shipment is handled.
That means two stores with a similar risk score can still end up with very different real costs.
Use the result to decide what deserves a closer look. Then confirm the numbers for the products and shipping routes that matter most to your store.
The checker gives you the quick strategic read. Our full dropshipping tariffs guide goes deeper into where tariff pressure can hit a store and what you can review in your margins, sourcing, and fulfillment setup.
If your setup looks exposed, these tools can help you check the parts that usually matter next.
