📄 Sample corridor intelligence

What a corridor intelligence looks like

Three illustrative corridor intelligences using real HS codes. These are static examples to show the structure and depth of Logitality output — live intelligences are generated fresh from current data each time you run a query.

All figures below are illustrative sample data only. They are not sourced from current live datasets. Real corridor intelligences are generated from the most recently available official trade statistics, WTO tariff data, and live FX rates at the time of your query. Figures change daily.

↓ Import HS 39021000 ⚑ Sample data

Polypropylene Resin (HS 39021000) — Import into India

Destination: India (IN) · Commodity: Polypropylene, in primary forms · Data reference: Illustrative sample only

● Amber — corridor under pressure

Origin country ranking — estimated landed cost index

Origin	Est. cost index	MFN duty	FX 30d	Supply share
SA Saudi Arabia	97.2	7.5%	+2.7%	32%
AE UAE	99.4	7.5%	+1.9%	18%
KR South Korea	101.1	7.5%	+0.3%	14%
CN China	102.8	7.5% + ADD*	−0.8%	22%
US United States	105.3	7.5%	−1.2%	6%

* ADD = anti-dumping duty subject to DGTR review. Cost index is relative (lowest = 100). Sample figures only.

Corridor Health — pressure factors (weighted)

● Amber — 16.6% weighted pressure

Natural gas EU (TTF) MoM

+57.9%

Brent crude MoM

+7.5%

INR/SAR 30-day move

+2.7%

SA export growth 2021–23

+58.6%

Procurement action: Lock in contracts with Saudi Arabian suppliers now to capitalise on the favourable INR/SAR movement (+2.7% over 30 days). Hedge against further input cost escalation driven by European natural gas (+57.9% MoM) and Brent crude (+7.5% MoM). Supply conditions remain stable — Saudi Arabia demonstrates strong export growth and healthy concentration at 32%.

Sourcing Decision Matrix — HS 39021000 into India

Default: Prioritise Saudi Arabia for structural supply depth and price competitiveness. Switch to UAE when Saudi spot availability tightens or shorter credit terms are required.

Scenario	Best origin	Rationale
India-GCC FTA enters force with PP resin concession	SA	Eliminates 7.5% BCD entirely — structurally advantaged vs all non-GCC origins
DGTR imposes anti-dumping duty on PP from China	SA	Avoids ADD exposure; lowest cost among non-ADD origins
Crude spike materially inflates Middle East offer prices	US	PDH gas-based feedstock insulates cost vs naphtha-linked ME and Asian producers
India–Korea CEPA preferential rate confirmed for HS 39021000	KR	Cost-competitive vs tariffed Middle East origins under preferential rate

↓ Import HS 29152100 ⚑ Sample data

Acetic Acid (HS 29152100) — Import into Germany

Destination: Germany (DE) · Commodity: Acetic acid · Data reference: Illustrative sample only

● Green — corridor healthy

Origin country ranking — estimated landed cost index

Origin	Est. cost index	MFN duty	FX 30d	Supply share
CN China	96.4	0% (EU MFN)	+0.1%	41%
US United States	99.8	0%	+1.4%	28%
SA Saudi Arabia	101.2	0%	+2.1%	15%
JP Japan	103.7	0%	−0.6%	9%

EU applies 0% MFN duty on acetic acid (HS 29152100). Cost differences driven primarily by feedstock and freight. Sample figures only.

Corridor Health — pressure factors (weighted)

● Green — conditions favourable

EUR/CNY 30-day move

+1.2%

Methanol feedstock MoM

+4.1%

China supply concentration

41%

Status: Corridor is healthy. EU's 0% MFN duty on acetic acid removes the tariff variable from the cost comparison. China leads on unit cost. Monitor methanol feedstock prices (+4.1% MoM) and China supply concentration (41%) as medium-term risk factors. US origin offers useful diversification at minimal landed cost premium.

Sourcing Decision Matrix — HS 29152100 into Germany

Default: Source primarily from China for unit cost advantage. Maintain a secondary US relationship as a concentration risk hedge — the landed cost premium is modest and US feedstock is methanol-based, same as China.

Scenario	Best origin	Rationale
EU imposes anti-dumping measures on Chinese acetic acid	US	Largest non-Chinese origin; similar methanol feedstock base; minimal landed cost premium pre-ADD
CNY weakens materially vs EUR (>5% move)	CN	FX tailwind amplifies China's existing cost advantage — accelerate procurement
Global methanol spike (>20%) from gas price shock	SA	Saudi Arabian producers may have captive methanol access at lower cost; worth direct inquiry

AI compliance note (sample):

Acetic acid (CAS 64-19-7) is subject to REACH registration requirements for import into the EU above 1 tonne/year. Importers should verify SDS compliance and ensure the substance is registered or an Only Representative (OR) is appointed by the non-EU manufacturer. This is AI-generated guidance — verify with a qualified REACH compliance professional.

↓ Import HS 72083700 ⚑ Sample data

Hot-rolled Steel Coil (HS 72083700) — Import into United Kingdom

Destination: United Kingdom (GB) · Commodity: Flat-rolled products of iron/steel, hot-rolled, >600mm wide, 3–4.75mm thickness · Data reference: Illustrative sample only

● Red — significant pressure

Origin country ranking — estimated landed cost index

Origin	Est. cost index	UK duty	FX 30d	Supply share
TR Turkey	96.1	0%*	+3.4%	24%
IN India	97.8	0%*	+1.8%	19%
KR South Korea	99.3	0%*	−0.2%	16%
CN China	98.2	25% safeguard	−0.4%	8%
DE Germany	104.6	0%	+0.1%	14%

* UK Global Tariff 0% for qualifying origins under TCA/UK trade arrangements. China subject to UK safeguard measures. Sample figures only — verify current safeguard status with HMRC.

Corridor Health — pressure factors (weighted)

● Red — multiple pressure factors active

Iron ore spot price MoM

+18.3%

UK energy cost index

+12.7%

GBP/USD 30-day move

−3.1%

UK safeguard quota usage

87%

Urgent action: Red status driven by iron ore price surge (+18.3% MoM), rising UK energy costs (+12.7% MoM), GBP weakness (−3.1% vs USD), and safeguard quota utilisation at 87% for key origins. Procure now from Turkey and India while quota headroom remains. Review Chinese supply — safeguard measures apply and quota may be exhausted. Verify current quota status with HMRC before placing orders.

Sourcing Decision Matrix — HS 72083700 into United Kingdom

Default: Prioritise Turkey (lowest index, 0% duty, favourable GBP/TRY) and India as primary sources. Monitor safeguard quota utilisation quarterly — order volumes should be timed to avoid quota exhaustion in Q3/Q4.

Scenario	Best origin	Rationale
UK safeguard quota exhausted for Turkey and India	KR	South Korea typically carries separate quota headroom; 0% duty; slightly higher index but viable contingency
GBP recovers materially vs USD (>5% move)	IN	India priced in USD — GBP strengthening improves landed cost more than TRY-priced Turkish supply
UK removes safeguard measures on Chinese HRC	CN	Chinese origin becomes most cost-competitive immediately — large volume available at short notice
Iron ore remains elevated for 6+ months	TR	Turkish mills have relatively lower iron ore cost exposure via scrap-based EAF production
