About
Global trade relies on precise cost estimation. Importing goods involves more than just the product price; it triggers a cascade of tariffs, taxes, and fees known as the "Landed Cost". Failing to calculate this upfront often leads to shipments being held at customs or unexpected bills upon delivery.
This tool simplifies the complexity of the Harmonized System (HS). It estimates the duty payable based on product value, shipping, and insurance (CIF method). It also accounts for "De Minimis" values - thresholds under which no duty is charged - helping individual shoppers and businesses plan their logistics budgets accurately.
Formulas
The Total Landed Cost is the sum of the CIF value and all applicable taxes:
Note: Some countries calculate VAT on (CIF + Duty), effectively a tax on a tax.
