Calculation logic
The tool maps each Incoterm to responsibility categories: freight, insurance, export clearance, import clearance, import duty, seller risk, buyer risk, and recommended use case.
Scenario
For a small seller quoting DDP, the seller needs to include freight, import duty, tax, customs fees, and final delivery in the quote.
Official check
Verify Incoterms wording in the sales contract and use official Incoterms guidance where needed.
Filing check
This tool provides estimates and document preparation support only. It is not customs, tax, legal, broker, or freight forwarding advice. HS code candidates and duty estimates must be verified with official tariff databases or a licensed customs broker before filing.
FAQ
Common questions
FOB vs CIF vs DDP: which is better?
It depends on who should control freight, import clearance, and duty. DDP is highest seller responsibility; FOB shifts main freight and import duty to the buyer.
What is DDP shipping?
Delivered Duty Paid usually means the seller handles import clearance, duty, taxes, and delivery to the named destination.
Does CIF include import duty?
No. CIF includes cost, insurance, and freight to the port, but the buyer usually handles import clearance and duty.
Is EXW good for ecommerce sellers?
EXW can be risky for buyers without export logistics support because the buyer carries more responsibility.
Is this legal contract advice?
No. It is an educational comparison.
