Powered by real-time global trade data, our engine instantly determines the total landed cost for shipments to over 180 countries. We factor in:

Tax Rates

  • Country
  • Region
  • Reduced tax rates based on HS code
  • Entry and clearance taxes
  • Tax de minimis support
  • Import tax thresholds

Duty Rates

  • Duty calculations for up to 10-digit (or 13-digit when applicable) HS codes

  • Duty de minimis support

Import Fee Calculations

  • Import country clearance and processing fees

Automated HS Code Classification

Never worry about misclassified goods again. Our system uses smart algorithms to assign the correct Harmonized System (HS) codes to your SKU library, ensuring compliant clearance and preventing costly border delays.

Flexible DDP & DDU Options

Boost Conversions with DDP:


Allow customers to pre-pay duties at checkout. The price they see is the final price they pay. No surprises at the door, just a happy delivery.

Control Costs with DDU: 


Prefer to pass fees to the recipient? We support transparent DDU workflows that still inform customers of estimated costs, setting clear expectations.

Seamless Checkout Integration

Our technology plugs directly into your shopping cart (Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and more). Show international customers a localized, transparent cost breakdown in real-time, reducing cart abandonment rates by up to 30%.

FAQ

Q: What is a Landed Cost?

A: Landed cost is the total price of a product once it arrives at the buyer’s doorstep.
This includes the original price of the product, all transportation fees (shipping),
customs duties, taxes (VAT/GST), insurance, currency conversion, and handling fees.

Q: Why should I ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)?

A: Shipping DDP significantly improves the customer experience. By collecting duties
and taxes at checkout, the package is delivered straight to the customer’s door without
them having to pay extra fees to the courier. This reduces refused packages and return rates.

Q: Does Floship handle the tax remittance?

A: Yes. As part of our comprehensive logistics solution, Floship can act as your partner
in managing carrier payments, ensuring that duties collected from your customers are properly
remitted to the carriers to clear customs.
