Frequently Asked Questions

CIF stands for Cost, Insurance, and Freight. It is the total value of goods including the cost of the product, insurance during transit, and freight charges to the destination port. Customs duty is calculated on this combined value.

Customs duty is calculated on CIF value. VAT/GST is typically calculated on the CIF value plus the customs duty (and any additional charges). This means VAT is charged on a higher base than the duty.

Duty rates depend on the HS (Harmonized System) code of your product. Check with your country's customs authority or use the product's HS code to look up the applicable rate.
