Get started with Landed Cost

Zonos Landed Cost provides a complete breakdown of duties, taxes, and fees that make up the total landed cost. Landed Cost simplifies what is otherwise a complex process for calculating duties and taxes on international imports. It delivers a true, transparent landed cost calculation, including duties, taxes, and any additional fees from customs, brokers, or shipping carriers.

While providing harmonized (HS) codes enables Zonos to return the most accurate duty calculation, Zonos will still return an approximate estimate even without an HS code.

Zonos powers millions of landed cost quotes every month, giving confidence and peace of mind to hundreds of companies selling internationally.

Capabilities 

Our Landed Cost is a robust API that easily integrates with other Zonos products and includes plugins for popular ecommerce platforms such as Magento and Shopify. We offer simple, reliable integrations with highly accurate landed cost calculations.

Zonos Landed Cost also works regardless of which ecommerce logistics provider you use, providing a long-term, flexible solution for your ecommerce site. If your logistics provider or distribution center changes, you won’t need to re-integrate a new landed cost system — Zonos will pivot to your new service seamlessly.

We support calculations for 217 countries and territories and up to 10-digit HS codes with as little data as item price, shipping amount, and destination.
