Estimates, not advice

DutyChecker provides estimates for informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes customs, tax, legal, or financial advice. We are not customs brokers, freight forwarders, or attorneys, and using this site creates no professional relationship.

Why your actual charge may differ

• Classification — we map plain-language categories to representative HTS headings. CBP classifies your specific item, and a different subheading can change the rate.
• Valuation — duty is assessed on customs value as determined by CBP, which may differ from your checkout price.
• Rate changes — 2026 tariff actions change frequently. Our rates are pinned to official sources and verified as of Oct 2026, but may lag new announcements.
• Carrier fees — brokerage and disbursement fees follow each carrier's current schedule and service level; promotions and account pricing vary.
• Exclusions and exceptions — trade-remedy exclusions, quota rules, and product-specific requirements (FDA, FCC, CPSC) are outside the calculator's scope.

No warranty

This site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for any loss arising from reliance on these estimates — including unexpected customs charges, brokerage fees, or shipment delays.

When to get professional help

For commercial imports, high-value shipments, or disputed classifications, consult a licensed customs broker. For binding rate information, request a ruling from CBP or check the current HTS at hts.usitc.gov.
