Duty Calculator

Using the Duty Calculator

Path: Tariff Engine > Duty Calculator

1. Enter the following:
   • HS Code -- 10-digit tariff classification number
   • Country of Origin -- 2-letter ISO country code (e.g., US, CN, DE)
   • Value for Duty (CAD) -- The customs value of the goods
   • CUSMA Claimed -- Toggle on if claiming CUSMA preferential treatment (US or Mexico origins only)
2. Click Calculate.

Understanding the Landed Cost Breakdown

The result shows the following components:

Provincial sales taxes (PST/HST) are not included -- they vary by province and are assessed at the point of sale, not at the border.

Example Calculation

For a $10,000 shipment of steel bolts (HS 7318.15.00.00) from the US, without CUSMA:

Value for Duty:         $10,000
MFN Duty (0%):          $0
Surtax (25% + 25%):     $5,000  (stacking: SOR/2025-66 + SOR/2025-148)
GST (5% on $15,000):    $750
Total Landed Cost:       $15,750

With a valid CUSMA claim, the surtaxes are exempted and the total landed cost drops to $10,500.

Landed Cost Comparison (Enterprise)

Path: Tariff Engine > Compare

Enterprise users can compare the total landed cost of a product across up to four origin scenarios side by side. The comparison table shows CUSMA availability, applied duty rate, surtax rate, duty amount, GST, and total landed cost for each origin. The lowest-cost origin is highlighted.

Tariff Lookup

Path: Tariff Engine > Tariff Lookup

If you need to verify an HS code or find the MFN rate before running a calculation, use the Tariff Lookup tool. Search by full or partial HS code, or by product description keyword.
