Frequently Asked Questions

What is landed cost?

Landed cost is the total cost of importing goods to their destination — purchase price, import duty, MPF, HMF, freight, insurance, and brokerage. It is the true all-in cost before you can sell the product.

How is MPF calculated?

MPF is 0.3464% of declared value, minimum $33.58, maximum $651.50 per entry. Goods from FTA countries (Canada, Mexico, Colombia, South Korea, and others) are typically exempt.

How do I find the right duty rate for my product?

Use The Tariff Desk HTS code lookup to find your 10-digit HTS code. Every result shows the MFN rate, any FTA preferential rate, and applicable Section 301 or Section 122 surcharges.

Does USMCA affect my landed cost calculation?

Yes significantly. Qualifying goods from Canada or Mexico get 0% duty and MPF exemption under USMCA, which can save thousands per shipment compared to MFN.

What is tariff exposure percentage?

Tariff exposure is (duty + MPF + HMF) ÷ declared value, expressed as a percentage. It tells you what fraction of your product cost is going to CBP fees — useful for comparing sourcing options.
