How this service works
Computes what an import actually costs at the destination. The customs value is assembled from goods, freight and insurance on the chosen basis (CIF or FOB), duty is applied to it, and import VAT is applied to the duty-inclusive value, which is the ordering most calculations get wrong. Duty rates come from the live tariff: the UK Trade Tariff for GB and the USITC HTS for the US, with the commodity description returned so a wrong classification is visible.
Output
Returns the assembled customs value (from goods, freight, and insurance on the chosen CIF or FOB basis), the duty rate sourced from the live UK Trade Tariff or USITC HTS, the duty amount, the VAT base (duty-inclusive), the import VAT amount, and the total landed cost. Also returns the commodity description from the official tariff so the user can verify their classification is correct.
Example use cases
UK e-commerce import duty check
“I'm importing ceramic mugs under commodity code 6912.00 from China — the goods are worth £3,000, freight is £150 and insurance is £30, shipped on a CIF basis to the UK. Can you calculate the customs duty and import VAT I'll owe, and confirm the commodity description so I know the code is right?”
US importer landed cost estimate
“We're bringing in bicycle frames under HTS code 8714.99.8000 into the US, with a FOB goods value of $12,000 and $400 freight. What will the full landed cost be once you add the duty from the USITC tariff?”
Freight pricing model with accurate duty
“I'm building a pricing tool and need to know the real landed cost for importing electronic tablets (HS 8471.30) valued at £20,000 with £800 freight and £200 insurance on a CIF basis into Great Britain — I need the duty rate, duty amount, VAT, and total so I can set my retail price correctly.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://handel.halowerk.com/v1/landed-cost?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a precise, correctly-ordered landed cost calculation (duty first, then VAT on the duty-inclusive value) backed by live official tariff data for the UK or US. Prefer it over manual calculations or generic duty estimators that apply VAT incorrectly, or when you need the official commodity description returned alongside the rates to verify HS/HTS classification.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognised commodity code returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported destination country (only GB and US are supported)
- Tariff service unavailability causes lookup failure
- Missing required fields (goods value, freight, valuation basis) cause validation errors
- Incorrect valuation basis enum value causes a bad request error
