← Import landed cost calculator
Two different shapes: Flexport is a freight forwarder and customs brokerage you sign up for as an ongoing account — it books the shipment, moves the freight, and files the customs entry. This page is a free, private worksheet for one narrower question: given the item cost, freight quote, and duty or supplemental tariff rate you already have, what does this shipment land at, per unit, and what share of the invoice price is tariff.
Flexport's own pricing and account terms are not reachable from this session to confirm today's figures, so no dollar amount for Flexport appears anywhere on this page — only its well-documented identity and category (a freight forwarder and customs brokerage sold as an ongoing account relationship) are stated.
This calculator does not book freight, does not file a customs entry, and stores nothing on a server. It takes an item cost, freight cost, duty rate, Section 301/supplemental tariff rate, an ocean-freight toggle for the Harbor Maintenance Fee, and a formal/informal-entry toggle for the Merchandise Processing Fee, and turns that into total landed cost, cost per unit, and tariff burden as a percent of invoice price. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I need a forwarder to book this shipment, move the freight, and file the customs entry. | Flexport, or a comparable freight forwarder — that is not something this calculator does. |
| Given the item cost, freight quote, and duty rate I already have, what does this shipment land at per unit? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| Did I apply the MPF floor/ceiling and the ocean-only HMF condition correctly? | This calculator applies both automatically on every calculation. |
| Does the de minimis exemption still apply to this shipment? | This calculator's de minimis check. |
| What is my actual HTS classification and duty rate? | Flexport, a licensed customs broker, or your own HTS lookup — this calculator prices a rate you already have, it does not classify goods. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. Flexport is used through an ongoing account relationship. |
This calculator is not a replacement for Flexport, or for a freight forwarder or customs broker generally. It does not book freight, does not file a customs entry, and does not determine an HTS classification or a duty rate. Most importers who ship through a forwarder get different value from each: Flexport (or a comparable forwarder) for booking, moving, and filing the shipment as an ongoing service, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login check of what a shipment lands at per unit before you commit to it.
They do different jobs and a small importer who ships through a forwarder will likely use both. Flexport is a freight forwarder and customs brokerage: it books the shipment, moves the freight, files the customs entry, and is sold as an ongoing account relationship with its own onboarding, rather than a self-service arithmetic tool. This calculator does one narrower thing, before or alongside that: starting from an item cost, a freight quote, and a duty or supplemental tariff rate you already have from your own HTS lookup or broker, it works out total landed cost, cost per unit, and the tariff burden as a percent of the invoice price, applying the Merchandise Processing Fee's floor and ceiling and the Harbor Maintenance Fee's ocean-only condition automatically. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and does not book or move anything. An importer who wants a forwarder to handle booking, customs filing, and compliance end to end is better served by Flexport or a comparable freight forwarder; someone who already has a quote and a duty rate and wants an instant, private answer to what a shipment lands at per unit is in the right place here.
Flexport's own platform is built around managing shipments booked through it, with visibility into the freight and duty it is handling for your account. This calculator is not a replacement for that: it is a quick, private worksheet for pricing a shipment before you book it, or for checking a quote or a self-filed entry's arithmetic against the Merchandise Processing Fee and Harbor Maintenance Fee rules by hand, with no account and nothing sent anywhere.
