How to use this tariff calculator
An import tariff calculator gives importers and small businesses a fast way to estimate the customs duty owed on a shipment before goods leave the factory. To use it, choose the product category that best matches your goods, optionally enter the 6-digit HS code your supplier or customs broker provided, then select the country of origin and the destination country. Add the product value, and if you know them, the shipping and insurance costs.
The calculator first works out the CIF value — Cost, Insurance, and Freight — because most customs authorities assess duty on the CIF value rather than the product price alone. It then applies a representative duty rate for that product category and trade lane, and returns the estimated duty amount and the total landed cost. Knowing the landed cost early helps you price products correctly, protect your margin, and avoid surprises when the customs invoice arrives.
Duty rates depend on the Harmonized System (HS) classification of your product, the trade agreements between the origin and destination, and any additional measures such as anti-dumping duties or trade-remedy tariffs. The same t-shirt can attract a very different rate depending on fabric content and the country it ships from, which is why the HS code matters so much. For high-value or high-volume orders, confirm the exact rate with a licensed customs broker or your destination country's official tariff schedule.
This tool is built for sourcing and procurement teams who need a quick, directional estimate while comparing suppliers across countries. If you are deciding between a manufacturer in China, Vietnam, or India, running each option through the calculator shows how duty changes the real cost of each quote. Pair it with our profit margin calculator to see how landed cost flows through to your final margin.
FAQ
Tariff calculator FAQ
How is import duty calculated?
Most countries calculate import duty on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight) multiplied by the duty rate for the product's HS code. This calculator estimates the CIF value from the figures you enter, then applies a representative rate for the selected category and trade lane.
What is an HS code and why does it matter?
The Harmonized System (HS) code is an internationally standardized classification for traded goods. The first six digits are consistent worldwide and determine the base duty rate. Using the correct HS code is the single most important factor in getting an accurate duty estimate.
Are these tariff rates exact?
No. The rates are representative estimates for common product categories and trade lanes, intended for planning and supplier comparison. Actual rates can vary with HS classification, trade agreements, and trade-remedy measures. Always confirm with your customs broker or the official tariff schedule before committing.
Does the calculator include VAT or sales tax?
No. It estimates customs duty only. Import VAT, GST, or sales tax, plus brokerage and handling fees, are charged separately depending on the destination country and should be added to your total landed cost.
Why does the country of origin change the duty?
Free-trade agreements can reduce or eliminate duty for goods from certain countries, while trade-remedy measures can add surcharges for others. That is why the same product shipped from different countries can carry very different rates.
