A tariff, or import duty, is a tax charged by customs on imported goods, normally calculated as a percentage of the customs value.
Formula: duty = customs value × duty rate; landed cost = customs value + duty + fees
Example: $1,000 × 10% = $100 duty; $1,000 + $100 + $25 = $1,125 landed cost

How is import duty calculated?
Duty is the customs value multiplied by the duty rate. Adding duty and any brokerage, handling, or processing fees to the customs value gives the landed cost.
What is the customs value?
Customs value is the price paid for the goods plus certain adjustments, such as international shipping and insurance, depending on the destination country's rules.
Are sales tax and shipping included?
No. This calculator covers duty and optional processing fees only. Import VAT or sales tax and the shipping quote are separate.

Use Cases
Costing an import
Add duty and fees to the purchase price before deciding whether to buy overseas.
Example: A $1,000 customs value at 10% duty plus $25 in fees lands at $1,125.
Comparing suppliers
Check whether a cheaper overseas price still wins after duty and fees.
Example: A $900 part at 15% duty costs $1,035 landed, more than a $1,020 local part.
Setting retail prices
Use the landed cost as the basis for margin and pricing decisions.
Example: A 30% margin on a $1,125 landed cost implies a $1,607 selling price.
