It's an estimate, not a guarantee. Duty rates shown are the published ranges for each destination country's general product categories — your exact rate depends on the specific HS (Harmonized System) code your item falls under, which only a full customs declaration determines precisely. Use this to budget, not to promise a customer an exact landed cost.
De minimis is the declared value below which a shipment enters duty-free. It varies enormously by country — from CNY 50 (~€7) in China to $800 (~€740) in the USA. Below the threshold you typically still owe VAT/GST in many countries (Australia, UK, EU) even though duty is waived.
Most countries assess VAT/GST on the customs value plus the duty already charged, not on the original declared value alone — so the tax compounds. This calculator follows that convention, matching how each country's customs authority actually calculates it.
No — shipments between EU countries have no customs duty or import VAT at all, so there's nothing to calculate. This tool covers the 8 non-EU destinations where CargoSender has published detailed customs guides: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, UAE and the USA.
