Duty-Inclusive Price Calculator
Nothing to pay on delivery.
Duty-inclusive price
$120.03
$34.31 of import charges inside it
Pricing duty-inclusive means the customer pays $120.03 with nothing to pay on delivery. The alternative bills them at the door, where a 18% refusal rate costs $10.94 per order in freight and lost goods — usually more than the charges would have been.
How the Duty-Inclusive Price Calculator works
Pricing duty-inclusive means the customer pays once and receives the parcel with nothing to pay. The alternative bills them at the door, where refusals cost the freight both ways plus the sale — usually more than the charges would have been.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a duty-inclusive price?
Solve backwards: duty and import tax apply to goods plus shipping, so the goods price has to be derived rather than added to. Adding the charges to your normal price leaves you short.
Why does the calculation need division?
Because duty and VAT are percentages of a total that includes the price you are solving for. Adding them afterwards understates the amount by the rate times the price.
Is duty-inclusive pricing worth it?
For consumer sales, almost always. Unexpected doorstep charges cause a meaningful share of parcels to be refused, and each refusal costs both freight legs and the sale.
How do I implement it?
A DDP shipping service from your carrier, or a checkout that calculates and collects the charges. Doing it manually per order does not scale past a handful.
