Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the customs value?

This worksheet adds the goods value, dutiable freight, insurance, and other dutiable adjustments you enter. Confirm the legally required valuation basis and adjustments for the importing country.

Why can I choose different import-tax bases?

Countries do not all calculate import VAT or GST on the same components. Choose whether the tax applies to customs value only, customs value plus basic duty, or customs value plus basic and additional duty.

Does the calculator provide current duty or tax rates?

No. Enter the rates that apply to your product, origin, destination, and import date. Check the official customs tariff or confirm them with a qualified customs professional.

Are fixed border fees included in the VAT or GST base?

No. Fixed border fees are added to the final border-charge total but are not included in the selected import-tax base. Add an amount to dutiable adjustments only when the applicable rules require it.

Can I use this result as a final customs declaration?

Use it as a planning worksheet. Customs authorities may apply different valuation additions, minimum duties, exemptions, preferential rates, excise taxes, currencies, or rounding rules.

Are my shipment values saved?

The values are used only to calculate the results shown in your browser. Reset restores the example worksheet.
