How do I run a DutyCalculator calculation?

Running a duty and VAT calculation is quick and straightforward.

Go to the New Calculation page and fill out the form:

1) From where to where you import

• Importing from - Select the country you are importing from, for example USA
• Importing to - Select the country you are importing to, for example UK

2) The type of product, its value and where it was manufactured

• Product description - Enter the description of the product
• Product category - Select the main category for your product, for example "Consumer electronics"
• Product subcategory - Select the product subcategory, for example "Computers & Peripherals"
• Product - Select the product, for example "Laptops"
• Product description - Enter the brand name and description of your product, for example "HP 2133 Mini Note”. This will help you keep track of your calculations
• Product value - Type the price you paid for the item (including sales tax)
• Country of manufacture - Enter the country of manufacture of the product. If you do not know this, you can select the import from country
  
• Add a product- Click this button to add additional items if there are multiple products in your shipment, for example a laptop and a digital camera

3) The cost of shipping & insurance

• Shipping costs - Enter your actual or estimated shipping costs. Shipping costs are taxable and must be input for calculating duty and VAT
• Insurance costs - Enter the cost of the policy (excluding IPT) if your goods are insured. Insurance costs are taxable and must be added for calculating duty and VAT. Enter "0" only if your goods are not insured.
