About

The tariff calculator helps Amazon sellers instantly estimate import duties, landed costs, and VAT/GST for any international trade route. Whether sourcing from China to the US, shipping to EU markets, or evaluating new suppliers, get a complete cost breakdown before you commit.

Unlike basic duty calculators, this tool includes Section 301 tariff schedules, trade agreement discounts (USMCA, EVFTA), and an HS code matcher that suggests the right classification from a product description. Every calculation factors in freight, insurance, customs fees, and port charges for an accurate total landed cost.

Designed for e-commerce operators, FBA sellers, and sourcing agents, the calculator streamlines financial planning for Amazon inventory. Use the custom route feature to model any scenario, and integrate it into your regular sourcing workflow for fast, repeatable estimates.
