FAQ
What are MPF and HMF?
US Customs charges a merchandise processing fee of 0.3464 percent of customs value with a floor and ceiling per entry, plus a 0.125 percent harbor maintenance fee on ocean shipments.
Is duty charged on freight?
Under US valuation rules duty is generally assessed on the FOB transaction value of the goods, not the freight, which is why this calculates duty on the goods figure alone.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
