Landed cost ends at the port. Getting product to a customer or warehouse is a separate bill — and on small shipments it's often bigger than the duty.

What Goes Into Your Landed Cost
Most first-time importers get surprised by the gap between the product price and what they actually pay to get goods through US customs. The supplier invoice is just the starting point. Tariff duties, customs fees, freight, and insurance together can add 15% to 80% (or more) to your base cost.
Customs Duties
Duties are the biggest variable. They’re a percentage of declared value. Every import currently faces the 10% Section 122 tariff — see tariffs today for the full rate stack. On top of that, your goods may face Section 232 (50% steel, aluminum, copper), Section 301 (7.5-100% Chinese-origin), and the MFN base rate. These stack — see the China rate breakdown for the 35% effective math on consumer electronics, or the EU import duty walkthrough for a $30,000 French wine shipment.
Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF)
CBP charges 0.3464% of declared value on formal entries, with a $31.67 minimum and $614.35 maximum. Applies even to duty-free goods. On high-value shipments the cap kicks in; on small shipments the $31.67 floor can be a noticeable bite.
Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF)
0.125% of declared value on ocean shipments. Funds harbor dredging and maintenance. Air freight is exempt. Applies even to duty-free goods.
Section 321 De Minimis ($800)
Shipments at or below $800 per person per day typically qualify for informal entry with no duty — the calculator flags this when applicable. China and Hong Kong are excluded from de minimis as of February 2026.
Freight and Insurance
Get current quotes from your forwarder. Ocean rates have been volatile since the April 2026 Strait of Hormuz disruption, with rerouted lanes adding 10-15 days of transit time and higher per-container rates.
Tips from the Trenches
Always use your actual transaction value (CBP uses the invoice price; undervaluing is a compliance risk). Check FTA eligibility — the rules of origin paperwork is often worth the MFN savings. If sourcing from China, model with and without Section 301 since classification drives applicability.
