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

    Type the 6–10 digit Harmonized System code for the product. If you don't know it, use the free HS code lookup tool first.

  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 destination market and origin country

    Choose EU, US or UK as the destination. The origin country drives Section 301 surcharges (US) and any preferential FTA rates available.

  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 surcharge + MPF (0.3464%) + HMF (0.125%)

Example ·$2,000 FOB × 6.5% MFN = $130 duty. China origin adds 25% Section 301 = $500. MPF $6.93. Total = $2,636.93.

🇬🇧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, the Section 321 de minimis is $800 — goods below this value enter duty-free with no formal customs entry required. Note: US de minimis for Chinese-origin goods has been subject to change; check current CBP guidance.
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.
Are Section 301 tariffs included in the US duty calculation?+
The calculator shows the standard MFN (base) duty rate. Section 301 additional tariffs on Chinese-origin goods are separate and stack on top of the MFN rate. If your goods originate in China, add the applicable Section 301 rate (7.5% for List 4A goods, 25% for Lists 1–3) to the calculated MFN duty. Always verify the current combined rate with your customs broker, as Section 301 rates have changed multiple times.
