Frequently Asked Questions

Is the calculator an official customs service?

No. It is an independent informational calculator. It does not represent a customs authority, tax authority, carrier or customs broker.

Are the results exact?

No. They are estimates. Exact charges can depend on the HS code, origin, destination, trade agreements, valuation rules and other local requirements.

Why can my customs bill be different?

Customs authorities may use a different classification or valuation, apply a preferential rate, add fees or apply exemptions and thresholds that are not fully represented by a broad category estimate.

Do I need an account?

No account is required to use the basic calculator.

Does the calculator collect my payment details?

No. The calculator does not ask users to enter payment-card details to calculate an estimate.

Can I use the result for a legal or tax filing?

No. Use the result for planning only and obtain an official determination when a legally binding amount is required.

Where can I confirm a rate?

Check the customs or tax authority of the destination country and, where relevant, the official tariff or HS classification resources for the goods.
