Customs & landed cost.
A shipment scenario, with every charge separated
Shipment and rates
Enter all foreign-currency amounts in the same currency. Use Customs’ applicable exchange rate and the rates confirmed for your tariff heading, origin and shipment date. Blank freight, insurance and fees count as zero.
CIF = invoice + insurance + freight, converted to TT dollars. Import duty and OPT are calculated on CIF. The published Customs method calculates VAT on CIF + duty + OPT. Exemptions and other levies require separate confirmation; motor vehicles, alcohol, tobacco and mixed barrels are outside this simplified scenario.
Customs calculation release · 15 July 2020The 2020 release is used for the calculation method, not as a current tariff list. No historical exchange rate or product tax rate is silently applied. Enter 0 where an exemption applies. Other fees are added after the taxes and are not included in their bases here.
