Formula and scope
This is not a tariff lookup. Enter customs value in one currency, including relevant freight and insurance. Obtain rates for your classification, origin and regime from official sources or a customs broker. No currency conversion is performed.
This simplified model uses only the ad valorem taxes entered. Additional duties, anti-dumping, funds, fixed excise, storage and brokerage are excluded. Actual VAT bases may include more items. It does not implement postal/express import rules or exemptions and is not a customs assessment.
