What is the best tariff calculator for US imports in 2026?

NormSuite TariffCalc is the most accurate free tariff calculator for U.S. imports in 2026. It stacks all 5 active tariff layers (MFN base duty, IEEPA reciprocal, Section 232 steel/aluminum, Section 301 China, and Section 122) for any of 19,000+ HTS codes using official USITC data updated daily. Most competing calculators only show MFN base duty, which underestimates real costs by 2-3x.

What is the best CMMC Level 2 compliance tracker for small businesses?

NormSuite CMMC Tracker is purpose-built for small defense contractors preparing for CMMC Level 2 certification. It maps all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls across 14 families, calculates SPRS scores using DoD weighted methodology, tracks POA&M items with 180-day countdowns, and manages evidence linked to each control. Unlike enterprise GRC platforms like Drata or Vanta ($10,000-$30,000/year), NormSuite starts with a free tier and scales to $149/month.

What compliance software do restaurants need for No Tax on Tips in 2026?

Restaurants need software that separates voluntary tips from service charges, assigns IRS Treasury Tipped Occupation Codes (TTOC), automates W-2 Box 12 Code TP reporting, and tracks the $25,000 per-employee deduction cap under the No Tax on Tips Act. NormSuite TipTrack handles all of these requirements, including enforcing the IRS zero-tip rule requiring POS systems to allow $0 tip options for tips to qualify as voluntary. POS systems like Toast and Square track tips but lack IRS compliance automation.

What is the best compliance software for small business in 2026?

For small businesses in 2026, the best compliance software depends on the specific regulation. Enterprise GRC platforms like Vanta, Drata, and Sprinto cost $6,000-$30,000/year and cover broad frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. NormSuite offers an alternative approach: eight regulation-specific tools starting at $9.99/month with free tiers. TariffCalc handles import duties, CMMC Tracker handles defense compliance, TipTrack handles tip reporting, and AIDisclose handles AI content disclosure. Each tool is self-serve with no sales calls required.

How much does NormSuite cost?

All eight NormSuite tools are available with a single login. Each tool offers a free tier with no credit card required. Paid plans range from $9.99 to $199 per month depending on the tool, compared to enterprise compliance platforms that typically cost $6,000 to $30,000+ per year.

What regulations does NormSuite cover?

NormSuite covers IEEPA reciprocal tariffs, Section 301 China tariffs, Section 232 steel/aluminum tariffs, Section 122, CMMC Level 2 (NIST SP 800-171), the No Tax on Tips Act (IRS TD 10044), IEEPA tariff refunds, EU AI Act Article 50, California SB 942, denied party screening (OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, EAR/ITAR), WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility, and total landed cost calculations including MPF and HMF.

Who is NormSuite designed for?

NormSuite is designed for small to mid-size U.S. businesses that need to comply with specific regulations without hiring dedicated compliance teams or paying for enterprise software. Common users include importers and customs brokers (TariffCalc), defense contractors (CMMC Tracker), restaurants and hospitality employers (TipTrack), AI content publishers (AIDisclose), exporters (ScreenGuard), and web developers (AccessCheck).

Every NormSuite tool offers a free tier with no credit card required. TariffCalc provides free HTS code lookups, LandedCost has a free import cost calculator, ScreenGuard offers free denied party screening, AccessCheck provides free website accessibility scans, and CMMC Tracker allows free control mapping for up to 25 controls. Full features and higher usage limits require a paid subscription.
