- Get carton data from your supplier first. Master carton dimensions and gross weight belong in the proforma invoice. Without them the freight estimate is guesswork.
- Pick the freight basis that matches your quote. LCL forwarders quote per CBM with a minimum; air quotes per chargeable kg (whichever is greater, actual or volumetric). Use "flat total" if you already have a door-to-door number.
- Enter your destination duty and VAT rates. These vary by country and change, so confirm the current rate with your customs broker rather than assuming.
- Do not skip the returns allowance. On marketplace channels, controller returns run 2–4% and toys higher. Leaving it out is the most common reason a "profitable" order is not.
- Check the break-even price against your selling price. If the two are close, the order quantity or the freight mode is the problem — not the unit price.
Duty is calculated on goods plus freight here, which is how most destinations assess it; some assess on goods value only. This tool is an estimating aid for planning and is not customs, tax or legal advice. Confirm rates and valuation method with your broker before committing.
