Get started with Landed Cost

Learn about the capabilities of Landed Cost.

Zonos Landed Cost provides a complete breakdown of duties, taxes, and fees that make up a total landed cost. Landed Cost simplifies an otherwise complex method for calculating duties and taxes on international imports. We deliver a true total landed cost calculation, including the sum of duties, taxes, and additional fees from customs, brokers, or the shipping carrier.

While providing harmonized (HS) codes allows Zonos Landed Cost to return the most accurate duty calculation, we will return the approximate amount of duties and taxes even when a harmonized code isn't provided.

Zonos provides millions of landed cost quotes each month, delivering confidence and peace of mind for selling internationally to hundreds of companies around the globe.

Capabilities 

Our Landed Cost is a robust API that easily integrates with other Zonos products and includes plugins for select ecommerce platforms, such as Magento or Shopify. We offer the simplest integrations with the most accurate landed cost calculations available.

Zonos Landed Cost also works for any ecommerce logistics provider you use, allowing you to integrate a long-term solution for your ecommerce website. Furthermore, when changes in your logistics provider or distribution centers occur, you won’t have to worry about integrating a new landed cost solution because Zonos will pivot to whatever service you use.

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