Worked Example

Let's calculate the import cost for a $1,000 product from China in the "Electronics" category with a weight of 2 kg.

  1. Product Price: $1,000
  2. Duty Rate: 10% (for Electronics)
  3. Tax Rate: 5%
  4. Other Fees: $50 (for processing and handling)
Duty = $1,000 × 10% = $100 Tax = $1,000 × 5% = $50 Total Import Cost = $1,000 + $100 + $50 + $50 = $1,200

The total estimated import cost for this example is $1,200.
