About Nearshore Finder
Working out whether nearshoring actually saves you anything, before you move
What is on this site
One question, "nearshore manufacturing finder", answered with a comparison that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- How to model a nearshoring decision honestly: Landed cost, inventory, iteration and escapes. The four lines that decide it, and how to put a number on each.
- Making it nearby does not automatically change the duty: Preferential treatment follows rules of origin for your specific goods. What that means and why classification comes first.
- Why nearshore suppliers are harder to find, and how to: Capable nearshore manufacturers often have minimal English web presence, and search results are dominated by factories elsewhere. Better routes to a longlist.

Nearshore Finder is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any agency or company named here, and nothing on it is legal, customs, regulatory or trade advice. We take no commission and carry no paid placements. No cost figures, labour rates, freight prices or duty rates are published on this site, because all of them move and a published comparison would be stale and would flatter whichever option it was written to support. Rules of origin and Harmonized System classification are specific to your goods and must be assessed by a customs professional. Regulatory positions are summarised from the agencies' own pages on the date shown and are a starting point for your own enquiries, not a substitute for them.
