What is TariffsChart?

Apr 20, 2026

TariffsChart is a lightweight planning tool for importers, cross-border sellers, and operators who need a fast landed-cost estimate before committing to a purchase order or shipment.

Most early tariff checks happen in spreadsheets, chat threads, and broker emails. That makes it easy to lose the assumptions behind a quote: HS/HTS code, duty rate, freight, insurance, VAT/GST, fixed fees, quantity, and destination-specific rules.

TariffsChart's launch MVP starts with a simple calculator that keeps those assumptions visible and turns them into a clear cost breakdown.

What TariffsChart calculates

The calculator estimates:

  • Dutiable value
  • Import duty
  • Import tax / VAT / GST
  • Other fixed fees
  • Total landed cost
  • Per-unit cost

This helps teams decide whether a product margin still works before they order inventory, launch a SKU, or quote a customer.

What TariffsChart is not

TariffsChart is not an official customs database and does not replace a qualified customs broker. Final HS/HTS classification, valuation, special duties, quotas, exemptions, and taxes should be verified before filing.

What's next

The next product milestones are saved scenarios, team review workflows, broker-ready exports, official tariff data connectors, and AI-assisted HS-code research.
