How customs duty works
Customs duty is a tax charged by the importing country on goods entering its territory. It is calculated on the customs value of the goods:
Duty rates vary by HS code and by country of origin. Many countries apply a most-favoured-nation (MFN) rate as the standard, and lower or zero rates under preferential trade agreements (FTAs).

Frequently asked questions
What is an Import Duty Calculator?▾
An Import Duty Calculator estimates the customs duty payable on imported goods by applying the applicable duty rate to the customs value. It is the fastest way to estimate duty before a shipment arrives, and it is a critical input to landed-cost and pricing decisions.
How is customs duty calculated?▾
Customs duty = Customs value × Duty rate. Customs value is normally the transaction value of the goods (the price actually paid or payable), adjusted to include or exclude international freight and insurance depending on whether the jurisdiction values on a CIF or FOB basis.
What is the difference between CIF and FOB customs value?▾
Under CIF valuation (used by most countries), customs value includes product value plus international freight and insurance. Under FOB valuation (used by the US and a few other countries), customs value excludes international freight and insurance. This changes the duty base and the duty amount.
Where do I find my duty rate?▾
Duty rates depend on the HS code of your product and the importing country's tariff schedule. Use the IMEXLOG HS Code Guide to research your classification, then check the importing country's official tariff publication or ask a licensed customs broker to confirm the rate.
Is the Import Duty Calculator free?▾
Yes, the IMEXLOG Import Duty Calculator is completely free with no sign-up required. If you need a professional report with a detailed breakdown and reference number, you can optionally purchase one for $4.99.
What is included in the Professional Import Duty Report?▾
The Professional Import Duty Report includes the customs value, valuation basis (CIF or FOB), duty rate, duty amount, other fees, total duty-related cost, effective duty rate, a comparison of duty rate scenarios, and a unique reference number. It is saved to your IMEXLOG account.
Does the calculator include anti-dumping or safeguard duties?▾
No. Anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties, and safeguard measures are additional to the standard duty rate and depend on the country of origin, the exporter, and the product. If these apply, add them in the "Other duty-related fees" field or consult a trade specialist.
Can preferential trade agreements reduce my duty?▾
Yes. Many countries have free trade agreements (FTAs) that reduce or eliminate duty for goods that meet specific rules of origin. If your goods qualify, you can enter the preferential duty rate (often 0%) instead of the standard rate. Always confirm origin requirements with the exporter and your customs broker before relying on a preferential rate.
