Work the numbers before the conversation
Three estimators, no sign-up, nothing transmitted. They exist so that the first email you send us contains a customs value and an HTS code rather than a question about what a container costs.
Data last verified:
US Import Duty Calculator
Stack MFN, the Section 301 lists and the 12.5% forced-labor tariff on your own customs value, then add MPF and HMF. Shows which layer dominates.
For anyone who has been quoted a DDP price and wants to see the arithmetic behind it.
Landed Cost Calculator
Goods, freight, insurance, duty, fees and inland delivery in one figure, with the share each component takes and a per-unit cost you can price against.
For setting a retail or wholesale price rather than comparing freight quotes.
Chargeable Weight Calculator
Air volumetric weight at the 6000 divisor, LCL revenue tons, and which unit you are actually being billed on.
For anyone shipping light or dense cargo who wants to check the bill before it arrives.
What these tools cannot do
All three are arithmetic, not advice. None of them can:
- tell you your HTS code, or resolve a classification question;
- tell you whether an exclusion or exemption applies to your specific line;
- quote a freight rate — those are dated and issued per shipment;
- replace a broker's entry or a lawyer's opinion on a material amount.
What they are good for is showing you the shape of the cost, which is usually enough to tell you whether the problem you are trying to solve is a freight problem, a classification problem or a pricing problem. The layer-by-layer detail sits on the 2026 duty stack, and the itemised freight and fee position on the shipping cost page.
The process side
Cost is only half an import. The filing rules that decide whether your container is released — the ISF deadline, the penalty for getting it wrong, and who is legally responsible — are in the ISF 10+2 guide.

Tell us the customs value, the volume and the delivery ZIP, and we will tell you where your estimate is likely to be wrong — which is usually in the classification, not in the arithmetic.
