Terms of Service

1. The Service is an estimation tool, not advice

The Service calculates estimated US import duty, Merchandise Processing Fees, Harbor Maintenance Fees, and total landed cost based on the figures you enter and general, publicly available trade data. It does not constitute customs, legal, tax, or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for a formal HTS classification or a determination made by a licensed customs broker or US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). See ourCustoms Compliance Disclaimer for details.

2. Free use, no account required

The Service is provided free of charge and does not require account creation. We reserve the right to introduce paid features, usage limits, or registration requirements in the future, and we will update these Terms if we do.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law or regulation;
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service or its underlying data;
• Scrape, copy, or republish substantial portions of the Service's content or country data without permission; or
• Misrepresent output from the Service as an official customs determination, filed entry, or advice from a licensed broker.

4. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, calculator logic, and original written content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may use the Service for your own personal or business purposes, including exporting or printing cost sheets for internal use, but you may not reproduce or redistribute the Service itself without our permission.

5. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy. Duty rates, trade programs, and government fees change over time, and we do not guarantee that figures shown are current, complete, or applicable to your specific shipment.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, or data, arising from your use of or reliance on the Service, including any decision made based on estimated duty rates, fees, or landed cost figures. Your use of the Service, and any pricing or importing decisions you make based on it, is at your own risk.

7. Third-party links and advertising

The Service may contain links to third-party websites (such as CBP or USTR resources) and may display third-party advertising. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site or advertiser.

8. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or update these Terms, at any time. Material changes to these Terms will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
