Classification questions to answer

  1. What material forms the outer surface?
  2. Is the article a handbag or another type of container?
  3. Is it a complete bag or a component?

Record the product's materials, construction, function and technical specifications. Those facts are more useful than a supplier's suggested code when selecting a national line.

Estimate a shipment

Select the importing country, then compare the returned description with the product facts above.

What are you importing?

You will need the product, the country you are importing into, where the goods are from, the goods value, and any shipping or insurance costs you want included.

Shipment value

Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.

Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
