Rates of 2026 HTS Revision 22, read on 2026-11-02. Antidumping and countervailing duties, state taxes and USTR exclusions are not included. Estimate, not a customs ruling. Everything you enter stays in this browser: nothing is sent or stored.
Landed cost is what a product really costs you once it is in your warehouse: the price paid to the supplier, international freight and insurance, every customs duty, customs fees, your broker and bond, and delivery inside the United States. Divide that by the units in the shipment and you have the figure to compare with your selling price. Only part of this can be calculated from public sources. Duties and fees come from 2026 HTS Revision 22 and the fiscal 2027 fee notice, read on November 2, 2026, and this tool works them out. Freight, insurance, broker and delivery charges are not published officially, and they change with the market, so you enter your own quotes. We offer no estimate for them. The calculator separates customs value from those costs, because duty is charged on the price of the goods and generally not on international transport shown separately.

International freight and insurance leave the value only when they are identified separately.

Worked example
Say you buy $25,000 of cotton T-shirts from Vietnam, on line 6109.10.00. Ordinary duty at 16.5% and the country duty at 12.5% give $7,250 (29%) in this tool. Fees follow: the merchandise processing fee of 0.3464% has a minimum of $34.58 and a maximum of $670.86, and the harbor maintenance fee is 0.125% on ocean cargo. Then enter your freight and delivery quotes under the costs panel.
When your price includes freight
Customs value explains what counts, including assists and packing that can raise it. The mini-tool above takes a CIF price apart, and Incoterms covers the trade terms.
What each input does
The code picks the ordinary rate, and shows which programs list that line. Origin picks the country duty and, for Chinese goods, the Section 301 lists. Value sets the base for almost every percentage. Quantity matters when a rate is per unit or per kilogram, and it gives you the per unit total. Transport decides whether the harbor fee applies. Costs in the panel affect the total only and not the duty.
Reading the result
Each row names the rule and the rate. If a row reads zero with a reason, it means the layer was considered and removed: for instance, an exemption in U.S. note 52. A warning under the table means the tool could not decide something for you, such as a partial list. The link saves code, origin and value in the address, and nothing leaves your browser unless you share it.
