The Accidental Importer-Complete Importers Kit
Everything, in one download. The Complete Importer's Kit is The Accidental Importer plus all 10 companion tools — the full operating system for importing, from your first sample to your first container and beyond.
A $4.50 product can land on your shelf at $84.54. This kit closes that gap. You get the book, the START HERE guide, and every tier:
Tier 1 — Launchpad: the go/no-go Validation Checklist, the POA 101 Guide + annotated template, and a compliant Commercial Invoice template — your legal footing and paperwork before the factory hits "produce."
Tier 2 — FOB Engine: the flagship Landed Cost & CBM Calculator (drop in your own numbers and watch your true unit cost, tariff stack, margin, and a DDP-vs-FOB verdict appear on live formulas), plus a weighted Broker Audition Scorecard and a Master Delivery Order template that beats the demurrage clock.
Tier 3 — Accelerator: a Duty Deferral & Drawback Toolkit that shows the annual cash you're leaving on the table, a PGA Fee & Bond Matrix for FDA/USDA-regulated goods, an Interim Footwear Invoice guide, and a Watch Component Value Sheet.
Ten tools. Six spreadsheets, four templates. Bought separately they run to $406 — together, $249.
