Lara Guevara says checking landed cost once a year is outdated. Tariffs have reset four times since February alone. Check monthly without fail, and immediately whenever news mentions your sourcing country. Log the date and cost each time.

A lot of you still check landed cost once a year, usually when you're building the annual budget, then trust that number for 12 months. That worked when tariff moved once every few years.

New rule: monthly, no exceptions, and immediately anytime a headline names your sourcing country specifically, and write down the date and the number every time he checked. 11 seconds. That block is what turns, I think, claustrophobia into here's exactly how much and here's when it started.
