In an increasingly global marketplace, companies are required to ship more products to customers across borders. Duty rates, customs clearance and taxes can differ greatly between countries. Tariff classifications, value declaration and duty management increase the variability of estimating landed costs.
UPS TradeAbilityTM does the work for you. Our Landed Cost engine provides you with a cost estimate of international shipments. This estimate includes applicable duties, fees, taxes and transportation costs based on the origin, destination and products in a shipment.
Leverage TradeAbility Landed Cost to reduce expenses and better serve your international customers. Whether you import or export goods, the ability to estimate landed costs enables you to make informed business decisions. For example, importers can use landed cost comparisons to evaluate international suppliers. Exporters can improve service by providing shipping rates with all duties and taxes included at the time of order, which helps reduce the amount of refused shipments and returned products.
Users of the TradeAbility Landed Cost service are charged on a per-transaction basis. Landed Cost is available on UPS.com and through our Web Services technology, enabling you to access TradeAbility functionality through your Web site or other systems to estimate your total landed costs. |
