Common Duty Calculation Mistakes

Wrong HS Code

Using an incorrect HS code can result in overpaying duties by thousands — or worse, customs penalties and shipment seizures.

Ignoring Shipping in Value

Many countries calculate duty on the CIF value (product + shipping + insurance), not just the product price. Missing this inflates or deflates your estimate.

Misunderstanding Origin Rules

A product assembled in one country from parts made in another may not qualify for preferential duty rates. Origin rules are strict.

Threshold Misinterpretation

De minimis thresholds vary widely. The US threshold is $800, but many countries set it at $20 or less. Going over triggers formal customs entry.

Estimate vs. Actual Customs Invoice

Our calculator gives you a close estimate of your landed cost, but the final customs invoice may differ for a few reasons:

  • Valuation method: Some countries use CIF, others use FOB. This changes the base amount duties are calculated on.
  • Exchange rates: Customs may apply the exchange rate on the day of clearance, not the day you calculated.
  • Inspector discretion: Customs officers can reclassify goods or apply additional inspections and fees.
  • Broker charges: Individual customs brokers add their own handling and processing fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is landed cost?

Landed cost is the total price of a product once it arrives at the buyer's door. It includes the product price, shipping, insurance, customs duties, import taxes (VAT/GST), brokerage fees, and any handling charges. Knowing your landed cost before shipping helps you price products accurately and avoid surprises.

How accurate are your import duty estimates?

Our estimates use official 2026 tariff schedules and AI-powered HS code classification. While we aim for high accuracy, actual duties may differ slightly due to customs valuation methods, inspector discretion, or trade agreement eligibility. Always verify critical shipments with a licensed customs broker.

Why does HS code classification matter?

Your HS code determines the duty rate applied to your goods. A single digit difference can mean 0% duty vs 25% duty. Incorrect classification can also result in customs penalties, shipment delays, or seizure of goods. Our AI classifier helps you start with the right code.

What countries do you support?

We currently support 50+ countries including the US, UK, EU member states, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, India, and many more. Each country has its own tariff schedule, VAT/GST rates, and compliance rules built into our calculator.

Can I share my calculation results?

Yes. Every calculation generates a permanent, shareable URL. You can send the link to colleagues, clients, or freight forwarders. The page includes the full cost breakdown, HS code classification, and compliance notes.

How often is your tariff data updated?

Our tariff database reflects 2026 rates and is updated as governments publish changes. We monitor official sources including US CBP, UK HMRC, EU TARIC, and national customs authorities across all supported countries.

Why might my estimate differ from a customs invoice?

Estimates can differ from actual invoices due to: valuation method differences (CIF vs FOB), additional anti-dumping duties, customs inspection fees, exchange rate fluctuations on the day of clearance, and broker-specific handling charges that vary by provider.
