Frequently Asked Questions
What is de minimis and why does it matter?
De minimis was the $800 duty-free threshold for US imports. It was suspended on August 29, 2025, meaning all imports are now potentially subject to duties, regardless of value. This calculator reflects the post-de-minimis reality.
What fees does this calculator include?
- Customs duty — based on HTS tariff rates for your product category
- MPF (Merchandise Processing Fee) — CBP's processing fee, $2.69–$651.50 depending on entry type
- Carrier brokerage fees — USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL each charge different clearance fees
How accurate are these estimates?
Estimates are based on official USITC HTS rates (2026 Revision 20) and published carrier fee schedules. Actual charges may vary based on specific product classification, current trade actions, and carrier policies. This is an estimate, not customs or legal advice.
Why do different carriers charge different fees?
Each carrier sets its own customs clearance and brokerage fees. USPS charges a flat $9.35 for dutiable mail items. UPS, FedEx, and DHL charge variable brokerage + disbursement fees that often exceed the duty itself — especially on lower-value items. Compare before you ship.
