How import duty is calculated

Customs duty is a percentage of the customs value of the goods, set by the destination country's tariff schedule and indexed to the HS code. Add VAT (EU/UK) and any Section 301 surcharge (US) to get the full landed cost.

  1. 1

    Enter the HS code or product

    Type the 6–10 digit Harmonized System code, or a product name to pick from our reference products. If neither matches, find the code with the free HS code lookup.

  2. 2

    Enter the goods and shipping value

    Add the transaction value (what you paid the supplier) and the shipping/insurance cost. EU and UK use CIF; US uses FOB plus separate freight.

  3. 3

    Pick the origin, destination and transport

    Choose US, EU or UK as the destination. The origin country drives Section 301 and 232 tariffs (US) and USMCA treatment; sea freight adds the US Harbor Maintenance Fee.

  4. 4

    Read the landed-cost breakdown

    The calculator returns the customs duty, any Section 301 surcharge, MPF/HMF (US), import VAT, and the total landed cost — itemised line by line.

Duty formulas by destination market

Each market has its own customs valuation rules and add-on fees. The calculator above applies the correct formula automatically — these breakdowns explain what's happening under the hood.

🇪🇺European Union (EU)

Customs duty = MFN rate × CIF value · Import VAT = destination VAT × (CIF + duty)

Example ·€2,000 CIF × 4.7% MFN = €94 duty. €2,094 × 19% DE VAT = €397.86. Total landed = €2,491.86.

🇺🇸United States (US)

Customs duty = MFN × entered value (FOB) + Section 301/232 by origin + MPF (0.3464%, $34.58–$670.86) + HMF (0.125%, sea)

Example ·$10,000 FOB × 6.5% MFN = $650 duty. MPF $34.64, HMF by sea $12.50. Before Section 301/232 and freight: $10,697.14.

🇬🇧United Kingdom (UK)

Customs duty = UK Global Tariff × CIF value · Import VAT = 20% × (CIF + duty)

Example ·£2,000 CIF × 4% UKGT = £80 duty. £2,080 × 20% VAT = £416. Total landed = £2,496.

Frequently asked questions

How import duty is calculated, when VAT applies, and how de minimis thresholds affect your landed cost.

How is import duty calculated?+
Import duty is calculated as a percentage of the customs value of the goods. The customs value is typically the transaction value (what you paid) plus the cost of shipping and insurance to the port of entry (CIF value for EU imports, FOB value for US imports). The duty rate is determined by the HS code of the product. For example, a product with a 5% duty rate and a customs value of £1,000 would incur £50 in import duty.
Do I pay VAT on imported goods?+
Yes. In addition to customs duty, most countries charge VAT (or GST) on imported goods. In the EU, import VAT is charged at the destination country's standard rate on the customs value plus any duty paid. In the UK, import VAT is 20% on most goods. In the US, there is no federal VAT — state sales tax may apply after delivery but is not collected at the border.
What is the de minimis threshold for import duty?+
The de minimis threshold is the shipment value below which customs duty is not charged. In the EU, the duty threshold is €150 (but VAT applies from €0). In the UK, the duty threshold is £135 (but VAT applies from £0). In the US there is no de minimis any more: the $800 Section 321 exemption has been suspended for all countries since 29 August 2025, so every shipment pays duty. In the EU, consignments up to €150 sold to consumers pay a flat €3 duty per tariff heading since 1 July 2026.
What is the difference between MFN duty and preferential duty?+
MFN (Most Favoured Nation) duty is the standard rate applied to imports from countries that don't have a preferential trade agreement. Preferential duty rates are lower rates available under Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) — for example, goods from Canada entering the EU under CETA may pay 0% instead of the standard MFN rate. To claim a preferential rate, you need proof of origin documentation showing the goods qualify under the relevant FTA rules.
Which US fees and extra tariffs does the calculator include?+
For US imports it adds, on top of the MFN duty of the HTS line: the China Section 301 lists (7.5–100%, including the four-year-review rates), the forced-labour Section 301 tariff that applies to most origins since 24 July 2026, Section 232 duties on steel, aluminium, copper, vehicles and parts, and the Merchandise Processing Fee — 0.3464% of the entered value with a $34.58 minimum and $670.86 maximum from 1 October 2026 (CBP Dec. 26-14), or a $2.77 flat fee on informal entries up to $2,500. The Harbor Maintenance Fee of 0.125% is added for sea freight only. Duty is assessed on the value without international freight; the freight is added to the landed cost.
