Questions
Frequently asked
Does this fetch live exchange or duty rates?
No. Every charge and rate is entered by you, so the evidence remains visible and auditable.
How is the recommendation chosen?
It is the row with the lowest calculated total cost. Lead time and supplier risk still require judgment.
