Question
Canada import boundary
AnswerUse CBSA tariff, GST/HST, and provincial tax review as inputs before supplier payment; this calculator does not set an official duty or tax result.
Question
How do I calculate landed cost from China?
AnswerStart with product cost and MOQ, then add China domestic freight, Supplymo service work, prep, international freight, insurance, buyer-entered duty or tax, broker/local fees, and missing-field risk before paying the supplier.
Question
Short answer
AnswerUse this calculator to prepare a 1688 landed-cost estimate before supplier payment, not to create a final customs, tax, or freight promise.
Question
What changes the result
AnswerIncoterm, HS/TARIC/HTS classification, customs value, packed dimensions, restricted goods signals, route, prep work, broker/local delivery, and supplier evidence can all move the number.
Question
Next step
AnswerIf the estimate still leaves margin, submit the product link, quantity, destination, SKU/options, carton data, and prep needs for a written check before supplier payment.
Question
Current source boundary
AnswerA low 1688 unit price is only a clue. It does not prove landed cost, duty, freight, prep work, or supplier match until each field is reviewed.

Before supplier payment

A sourcing page should end in a decision, not a vague promise

Every Supplymo page should help you decide whether to continue, sample first, request information, request a quote, manually review, or stop before paying a supplier.

Before supplier payment system

Product check first. Supplier payment only after the decision is clear.

Supplymo is not an open-ended sourcing promise. It is a pre-payment decision workflow: collect the product clue, expose missing fields and risk, then decide whether to stop, sample, quote, or move into assisted ordering.

1

Submit one product clue

Send a 1688, Shopify, AliExpress, CJ, Amazon, TikTok Shop link, image clue, keyword, quantity, destination, or prep note.

2

Get a written pre-payment check

Supplymo separates match quality, MOQ pressure, landed cost assumptions, prep needs, supplier signals, missing fields, and risk flags.

3

Choose the next action

The output says continue, sample first, request info, request quote, manual review, change route, or stop before supplier payment.

Trust boundary

No supplier payment is created by submitting a product clue.

No lowest-price, supplier-quality, customs, tax, freight, delivery-time, or platform-approval guarantee.

Manual review is required when product, supplier, customs, prep, route, or restricted-goods signals are unclear.

Output

Written decision record, not a fake final quote.

Handoff

Human review when facts are missing or risk is high.

Best fit

Canada 1688 landed cost calculator with GST and CBSA review: check margin before the quote

A cheap 1688 unit price is not the landed cost. Judge it together with MOQ cash, China-side fees, prep, freight, and import costs.

Split fixed fees by quantity

Domestic freight, photo checks, and service work change the per-unit number.

Protect small-batch cashflow

MOQ can tie up cash before a product is proven.

Route before quote

Shipping changes after packed size, weight, destination, and restrictions are known.

China-side cost clarity

Product, domestic shipping, service fee, and prep belong in the estimate before payment.

Buyer-entered import costs

Insurance, duty/tax estimate, broker, and local delivery are easy to miss after the freight quote.

Margin survival check

Compare target selling price against the landed estimate before committing cash.

Workflow

Landed cost check workflow

Decision before payment

The estimate only works when packed data, prep, and route assumptions are visible together.

Questions

Common decisions before requesting a quote

How much is import duty when buying from China?

It depends on your HS code, customs value, country of origin, and current policy — not the product name. This calculator looks up the likely duty by HS code and China origin (including the US Section 301 overlay) and returns an all-in landed-cost estimate. The final duty still needs official HS classification and current measures.

Who pays the import duty — me or the supplier?

It depends on the Incoterms. Under DDP the seller or sourcing agent handles duty and delivery; under DAP or EXW the importer (you) pays. Couriers such as DHL or FedEx may advance the duty and bill you. Supplymo does not replace the carrier or customs broker's final invoice.

Are small parcels from China duty-free (de minimis)?

Do not assume so. It depends on the destination and current policy: the US duty-free de-minimis was suspended in 2025, the UK threshold is GBP 135, Australia AUD 1000, Korea about USD 150, and Indonesia about USD 3. De-minimis policy changes over time, so confirm the current rule with the destination customs authority before you quote.

Do US tariffs or Section 301 apply to my China goods?

They can stack on top of the base duty for covered HS codes. This calculator includes the USTR Section 301 overlay for China-origin goods when you choose a US destination. Confirm the current measures with CBP and USITC, because the policy changes over time.

What is import VAT or GST, and how much is it?

It is the destination tax charged on imports, computed on customs value plus duty. Standard rates include UK 20%, Germany 19%, France 20%, Italy 22%, Spain 21%, Australia GST 10%, Singapore GST 9%, Canada GST 5%, Korea 10%, Indonesia 11%, and Vietnam 10%; the US has no federal import VAT. The calculator applies your market's rate automatically, but reduced rates and reliefs depend on the goods and official rules.

Is import duty the same as import VAT or GST?

No. Duty is a tariff on the goods set by HS code; import VAT or GST is the destination consumption tax charged on customs value plus duty. Both belong in your landed cost, and the calculator shows them as separate lines.

Is this the final landed cost?

No. It is a pre-payment estimate. The final cost depends on supplier quote, quantity, packed size, route, service work, classification, tax, duty, and official review.

How do I calculate landed cost from China before I pay a supplier?

Add the 1688 unit price, quantity, MOQ pressure, China domestic freight, service work, prep, packed dimensions, international freight, insurance, buyer-entered duty or tax, broker/local fees, and missing evidence. If package data or classification is missing, treat the estimate as low confidence and submit a product check before payment.

Is landed cost software enough for a 1688 order?

Software can organize the cost stack, but a 1688 order still needs supplier evidence, package data, HS or commodity-code review, restricted-product screening, and a quote boundary before a buyer approves supplier payment.

Why does the calculator ask for package weight and dimensions?

International shipping often depends on actual weight and volumetric weight. If packed data is missing, the landed cost estimate should stay low-confidence.

Can Supplymo calculate exact duty or VAT from this page?

No. Supplymo can flag when HS, TARIC, HTS, commodity code, customs value, or importer status needs review, but it does not set official duty, tax, or clearance outcomes.

When should I stop instead of requesting a quote?

Stop or request manual review when the product has restricted goods signals, unclear certificates, unrealistic MOQ, weak margin, missing package data, or unclear supplier evidence.

What should I submit after the estimate?

Submit the product link or 1688 supplier clue, quantity, destination, product category, packed weight and dimensions, sales channel, and prep needs for a written check.

Does this replace a product sourcing check?

No. The calculator helps decide whether margin might survive. A product check reviews supplier match, MOQ, SKU clarity, prep, warehouse evidence, restricted goods, and route risk before payment.

Which official sources should I check after this estimate?

Use the official source for the destination market, such as USITC HTS, EU TARIC, GOV.UK Trade Tariff, CBSA Customs Tariff, Australian Border Force, or Singapore Customs. The calculator decides which review is needed; it does not freeze the official duty or tax result.

Should I use the HS code checker before this calculator?

Yes when classification is unknown. If HS, HTS, TARIC, commodity code, product material, or intended use is unclear, run the import-duty readiness check before trusting a landed-cost estimate.

Need a manual review before supplier payment?

Send the link, quantity, destination, SKU/options, carton data, and prep needs. Supplymo turns the tool result into a practical route decision before assisted ordering.
