Instant Landed Cost IntelligenceDeterministic duty, tariff and VAT math over official customs schedules — paired with AI trade route risk assessments.
Executive Summary: Goods classified under 8517.13 entering the United States from China carry Section 301 exposure — an official retaliatory measure sits on top of the base rate. LandedPulse flags that exposure and points to its legal base; the calculated landed cost covers the Column 1 General rate.

Every amount is calculated, never estimated. The same shipment returns the same answer today, next week and in an audit.
Customs value, duty, surcharges and tax arrive as separate lines your finance team can check and sign off.
Enterprise-grade access controls keep every account fully isolated. Your routes and volumes are never shared or resold.
Where a rate cannot be established beyond doubt, you get a clear "not covered" — never a confident guess.
Retaliatory duties under Section 301 run to 25% ad valorem on top of the base column rate. Drag your monthly import volume to see the exposure on a single unmonitored shipment.
$12,500
A 25% surcharge applied at clearance on that volume. Margin already quoted to the buyer, absorbed after the fact.
$149 / month
That single exposure covers 83 months of Pro Pass at the volume you selected.
Illustrative scenario, not a forecast. It assumes one shipment at the selected volume hit by a 25% ad valorem surcharge. Your actual duty depends on classification, origin and the schedule in force on the entry date.
See plansAsk a general-purpose assistant for a duty rate and it will give you one that sounds right and may not exist. Four decisions make that failure impossible here.
Every amount comes from arithmetic applied to published tariff rules, not from a model predicting what the answer probably looks like. Run the same shipment twice and you get the same figure — which is the difference between a quotation you can commit to and one you have to caveat.
You get the chain, not just a total: customs value, duty base, each applicable surcharge, then tax on the composed base. Your controller can reproduce the figure by hand, and that is the only version a finance team can defend to a board or an auditor.
Results say whether the rate came from the precise tariff line for your product or from the nearest defensible parent heading. No silent approximation dressed up as certainty, so you know when to bring a broker into the conversation.
Duties charged per unit, combined rates, quota-dependent rates and preference claims are flagged as not covered instead of being flattened into a percentage. A wrong number that looks confident is the expensive one — it reaches the buyer and only surfaces at clearance.
If your firm handles clearance or freight for multiple importers, let's talk about a partnership that fits your volume and your clients' routes.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: LandedPulse provides customs duty and landed cost estimates based on official tariff schedules. Calculations, regional classification fallbacks, and AI executive summaries are decision-support simulation tools. Final duty assessments, classification, and taxes are determined exclusively by border customs authorities at the port of entry.
No. Every amount is calculated from published tariff rules, not generated by a model. AI is used only to write the plain-language risk commentary next to the numbers, and it cannot change a rate or a total. That is why two identical queries always return identical figures.
One completed calculation consumes one credit. A query that fails validation or returns no covered rate does not consume anything. The Single Executive Report includes one credit and Pro Pass includes 100 credits per month, with a top-up pack available if a month runs long.
Yes, self-serve and without a penalty. Cancellation is handled from the billing portal and takes effect at the end of the current cycle, so credits already granted for that cycle stay usable until it ends.
The result is marked as not covered rather than turned into an approximate percentage. Duties charged per unit of weight or volume, combined rates, quota-dependent rates and preference claims all need context a landed cost query does not carry. Handing a customs broker a confident wrong figure costs more than handing them nothing, so we decline.
Customs value comes first — goods plus freight and insurance — then duty on that value, then any applicable surcharge, and tax last over everything combined. Each line appears separately in the report instead of being folded into one total, so a controller can reproduce the figure by hand.
Official publications are re-checked every day, and a source that fails verification never overwrites the data in use. If a publication is unreachable or changes in a way that needs legal review, the last verified version stays in place rather than being replaced by an incomplete one. Verified over merely recent — an unreviewed rate change is how a clearance goes wrong.
