Disclaimer
The limits of what ImportCost can tell you.
An independent personal project
ImportCost is published by one individual as a personal project. It is not a business, is not affiliated with or endorsed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, or any other government agency, and is not affiliated with any carrier, broker, or company named on this site. No professional relationship of any kind is created by reading it.
Information may be incomplete or wrong
Every figure here is compiled by hand from published government documents, and mistakes are possible. U.S. tariff rules have changed repeatedly and on short notice, so information that was accurate when verified may already be superseded. Nothing on this site is guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or current, and you should not rely on it for any decision that has money or legal consequences attached. Use the official source linked alongside each figure.
Not customs advice
ImportCost is not a licensed customs broker, attorney, or tax adviser, and nothing on this site is customs, legal, or tax advice. No client or advisory relationship is created by using it.
Estimates, not determinations
Only U.S. Customs and Border Protection determines the duty owed on an entry. Figures here are estimates produced from published data and may differ from an actual assessment for reasons including classification, valuation, origin determination, and program eligibility.
Classification is your responsibility
The importer of record is legally responsible for classifying goods correctly and exercising reasonable care. Tools here can narrow the possibilities and explain the differences; they cannot make the determination for you. For a determination you can rely on, request a binding ruling from CBP.
Rules change
U.S. tariff rules have changed repeatedly and on short notice. A figure that was correct on its verification date may not be correct today. Always confirm against the linked official source before relying on any number for an entry.
