US Customs Duty Calculator for Import Duty, MPF, HMF, and Landed Cost
In simple words
This free calculator estimates the duty, tariffs, and fees you may pay to import goods into the United States.
Customs duty is the tax you pay when goods enter the United States. The US Customs Duty Calculator estimates that tax and your total landed cost. It helps importers, e-commerce sellers, freight forwarders, and small businesses.
Landed cost is the full cost of getting goods into the country. It includes the product price, freight, insurance, duty, tariffs, and fees. Importers use it to price products and compare suppliers.
The calculator starts with merchandise value, freight, and insurance. Duty is based on the merchandise value you enter. Then it adds tariffs, fees, and brokerage costs. The result is your estimated landed cost.
The duty rate depends on your product. Imported goods are classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Rates vary by product, material, and origin. This tool does not pick your code. You enter the duty rate yourself.
Additional tariffs can apply on top of base duty. Trade remedies and Section 301 tariffs are examples. The calculator has a separate field for them. Use it to test higher-cost scenarios.
The Merchandise Processing Fee is an optional input. MPF is a customs fee on formal entries. It has minimum and maximum limits. The calculator applies those limits for 2026.
The Harbor Maintenance Fee helps fund ports. HMF mainly applies to ocean shipments. It is on by default for ocean freight. Turn it off for air, truck, or rail.
Broker and handling fees can add up. Even low duty does not mean low total cost. A shipment can include clearance, terminal, and storage charges. Enter them in one field.
E-commerce sellers should check duty before ordering. A product can look cheap at supplier price. Duty, tariffs, and fees can change the math. Test air freight and ocean freight too.
This is a planning tool, not an official entry. Actual charges depend on classification and valuation. Confirm final costs with CBP or a licensed customs broker.
