Buyer and importer questions
Answers for the moment before paying, disputing, or asking a broker.
Is DutyClarity an official customs calculator?
No. DutyClarity is an educational triage tool that helps you organize shipment facts, estimate line items, and prepare questions for CBP resources, carrier invoices, or a licensed customs broker.
What makes this different from a normal import duty calculator?
The checker combines a rough duty estimate with carrier-fee explanation, refund signal, CAPE or entry-detail prompts, and a broker-ready copy block.
Can it help with a returned item or tariff refund question?
It can help organize the review: paid duty, return or export proof, seller refund proof, entry status, and questions to ask a broker. It does not file a refund or guarantee eligibility.
Which carriers or invoices does it support?
The beta supports DHL, FedEx, UPS, postal shipments, and other carrier-fee scenarios at the explanation layer. Always confirm the final split on the actual invoice or entry summary.
