Estimate the import duty and VAT or GST payable on a shipment, based on its customs value and the duty rate for your HS code.
Formula
Duty = CIF value x duty rate; VAT = (CIF value + duty) x VAT rate
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my duty rate?
Duty rates are set per HS code and per destination country. Look up your product's HS code in the destination tariff schedule, or ask your customs broker to confirm the classification.
What is a de minimis threshold?
Many countries charge no duty below a declared value threshold. These thresholds change frequently, so check the current rule for your destination before assuming duty applies.
Is VAT charged on the freight as well?
In most countries import VAT is assessed on the customs value including freight and insurance, plus the duty. That is why the freight figure matters for the tax calculation.
Why is my actual duty bill different?
Classification, origin for preference purposes, and the exchange rate used on the entry date all change the final figure. Treat this as a budgeting estimate, not a customs declaration.
