Methodology
CIF is product value plus freight plus insurance. Duty is calculated from CIF using the manually entered duty rate. VAT is estimated from CIF, duty, and clearance fees using the manually entered VAT rate.
Planning Disclaimer
All customs, tax, freight, and landed cost results are estimates for planning purposes only. Final classification, duty, taxes, and clearance requirements must be confirmed with the relevant customs authority, licensed customs broker, or official trade authority.
FAQ
Are the duty and VAT rates official?
No. This MVP requires manual rates and produces planning estimates only. Confirm official classification, rates, and procedures before shipment.
