For importers & sourcing buyers
Duties, HS codes, MOQ and supplier checks in one brief — so you are not wiring money to a factory on a guess. Ask a question, get a structured answer.
Duty and cost figures are estimates — verify with your customs broker.
Importing still runs on guesswork — a catalog, a quote, a deposit wired on trust. Every order starts with the same open questions.
The facts you need are public — tariff schedules, HS classifications, documented trade norms. But they sit scattered across portals, formats and broker jargon.
The HS code sets your duty rate. See the likely codes and where the cost builds up — product, freight, duty, fees — with every figure flagged as an estimate to confirm with your broker.
Learn moreA polished catalog is not a track record. Get the questions that separate a real manufacturer from a trading desk — certifications, QC steps, lead time and payment terms, before any money moves.
Learn moreKnow the typical minimum order and deposit terms for the category before a supplier’s ask lands at the table — and what to put in writing before you wire anything.
Learn moreI want to import LED desk lamps from China — what are the duties, likely HS code, MOQ and total landed cost?
Give me a sourcing brief for stainless steel water bottles from China: duties, MOQ, deposit norms and the supplier questions to ask.
Built on published tariff schedules, HS classifications and documented trade norms — with the estimate flagged on every figure until your broker confirms it.
HS codes and their descriptions are public tariff facts — we show them straight. Every duty and cost figure is an estimate to confirm with your customs broker before you commit. And no supplier pays to appear in a brief: the checklist works for the buyer, not the seller.
How estimates are madeNo tool can, sight unseen — the final rate depends on the precise HS classification and any trade agreements that apply. We show the likely code and the rate range so you know roughly where you stand; your customs broker confirms the exact rate before you commit.
No. You get the brief and the questions to vet suppliers yourself, so you stay in control of who you pay. We help you ask better, not decide for you.
Just the product and the origin country, in plain English. You can add a target quantity or destination market to sharpen the estimate, but you do not need an HS code to begin.
Physical-goods imports. It is most useful where duties and supplier risk run highest — for example sourcing from China into the US or EU. Figures are estimates; verify duty and compliance with your broker.
