FOR SMALL IMPORTERS & E-COMMERCE SELLERS

What does this shipment actually cost, landed?

Enter your item cost, freight, and the duty and supplemental tariff rates from your own HTS lookup or broker to see total landed cost, cost per unit, and the tariff burden as a percent of your invoice price — the number that turns a profitable-looking import into a loss when it shows up at customs instead of at pricing time. See whether the $800 de minimis exemption still applies to your shipment before you assume the old duty-free math still holds, and why the processing fee jumps $30 the moment an entry is formal instead of informal, regardless of how close the shipment sits to the value line. Compare this against tracking landed cost by hand on this calculator vs. a spreadsheet, or against booking through a freight forwarder on this calculator vs. Flexport.

Not a customs broker or compliance service. This tool is not a customs broker, freight forwarder, or licensed customs classification service. It does not determine your HTS code, your duty rate, or your compliance obligations — you must verify those with a licensed customs broker or CBP. This tool only performs the arithmetic once you supply the rates and fees.

Numbers stay in this browser. This is arithmetic on the rates and fees you typed, not CBP's or a broker's determination of what you owe. MPF and HMF percentages, floors and ceilings are the currently published CBP fee schedule figures as of this tool's last update — confirm current figures at cbp.gov before relying on them.

Several products on one entry

One customs entry often carries more than one HTS line. Each line has its own duty and tariff rates, but the Merchandise Processing Fee (with its floor and ceiling), Harbor Maintenance Fee and broker fee are charged once per entry. Enter each product below. Freight, insurance, broker fee, entry type and ocean setting come from the form above; freight and insurance are split by item cost, and entry-level fees by customs value.

Common questions

Does this tool know my product's actual duty rate?

No, on purpose. The duty rate and the supplemental/Section 301 tariff rate are fields you fill in, not a stored schedule this tool claims to know. Duty rates are set per HTS classification and change; a table baked into a calculator goes stale silently and still looks authoritative. Look your product's HTS code up at hts.usitc.gov, or confirm the current rate with a licensed customs broker, then type it in — the arithmetic is yours to check.

Is this a customs broker or a compliance service?

No. This is not a customs broker, freight forwarder, or licensed customs classification service. It does not determine your HTS code, your duty rate, or your compliance obligations — you must verify those with a licensed customs broker or CBP. This tool only performs the arithmetic once you supply the rates and fees.

What is the Merchandise Processing Fee?

A CBP fee charged on most formal entries: 0.3464% of the customs value, with a minimum of $32.71 and a maximum of $634.62 per entry. Informal entries (typically lower-value, more casual shipments) pay a flat fee instead, currently around $2.62. These are published, indexed figures — confirm the current numbers at cbp.gov before relying on them for a real entry, since CBP periodically adjusts them. See formal vs. informal entry for what decides which one you are and why the fee does not scale smoothly across that line.

What is the Harbor Maintenance Fee, and why does it only sometimes apply?

It is 0.125% of the customs value, charged on shipments that move by ocean freight — not on air or truck shipments. Check the ocean freight box if your shipment came by sea; leave it unchecked otherwise. Like the MPF, this is a published CBP fee schedule figure worth confirming before relying on it.

What does the 2025 end of the $800 de minimis exemption mean for me?

For many countries, shipments that used to clear duty-free under $800 no longer do, so imports that once had no landed-cost surprise at all now carry duty, potential supplemental tariffs, and processing fees the way a formal or informal entry always has. If you used to ship under that exemption, run your numbers through this calculator rather than assuming the old duty-free math still holds — see does the de minimis exemption still apply for the specifics and how to check where things stand for your own shipments.

Is my shipment data uploaded anywhere?

No account and no network requests — the calculator runs entirely in your browser. The shareable link carries your numbers in the URL itself rather than sending them to a server. The optional usage counter records only which features were used and the day, never your costs, rates, or quantities.
