Landed cost calculator
Landed Cost Calculator for China Imports
Estimate your landed cost from your supplier quote, shipping quote, and duty/tariff assumptions. This first version is designed for importers who already have quotes and need a practical cost structure.
Estimate tool
Estimate your landed cost
Use your own supplier quote, freight quote, and duty assumption. This calculator does not classify products or pull live freight rates.
How the estimate works
The calculator adds product value, international shipping, duty/tariff assumptions, MPF, optional HMF for vessel imports, broker or forwarder fees, and US domestic delivery. It treats freight and broker charges as user-entered quotes because static public ranges are not reliable enough for an actual purchase decision.
Duty and tariff are calculated from the product value you enter. The tool does not choose a duty rate or classify your product under the HTS.
Inputs and responsibility boundary
| Input | How this page uses it | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Merchandise Processing Fee (formal entry) | Most formal customs entries, subject to exceptions and annual fee adjustments. | Does not determine whether a shipment qualifies for formal entry treatment. |
| Harbor Maintenance Fee (imports) | Commercial cargo imports arriving by vessel at covered U.S. ports. | May not apply to air, express, or non-vessel shipments. |
| User-entered duty and tariff rate | The product-specific HTS duty rate, China-specific tariff treatment, and any other trade remedies the user has verified. | The site does not classify products. |
| Customs broker fee | Brokerage charges quoted by a customs broker or freight forwarder. | Not an official fixed government fee. |
