Frequently asked questions

  • What is the reshoring readiness score for pumps for liquids? 33 of 100 as of the latest month, a weak case. The score combines tariff pressure (37/100), import dependence (47/100), and sourcing concentration (10/100) under the published RRI v1.0.0 methodology.
  • Why does pumps for liquids score this way? Importers currently pay a 12.28% effective tariff in this family, U.S. exports cover about 53% of what it imports, and its foreign sourcing measures 1000 on the Herfindahl index. Higher tariffs, deeper import dependence, and more concentrated sourcing all strengthen the economic case to produce domestically.
  • Does a high score mean reshoring is profitable? No. The RRI is a screening indicator: it says the public trade data points that way, not that any specific plant pencils out. Validate with your own landed-cost, labor, and capacity numbers before deciding.

About this data

  • A transparent screening indicator built from public USITC trade data, not sourcing advice. The tariff term is monthly; concentration is matched to the month's calendar year (latest completed year for newer months); import dependence is currently a latest-year snapshot applied across the series and will deepen into a true history as export years accumulate. The named-top-sources HHI is a floor. Validate any decision with your own landed-cost and capacity numbers.
