I’ve been testing different methods recently and noticed VAT + duty calculations can swing margins way more than expected, especially between Germany/France/Netherlands.

Right now I’m comparing:

  • manual HS code lookups
  • broker estimates
  • marketplace calculators
  • simple landed cost models

Curious what most sellers here actually use before expanding cross-border?

Sharing a free landed cost calculator for US ↔ EU shipments

Cross-border pricing is surprisingly hard to estimate accurately, especially once duties, VAT, shipping, and FX all stack together.

Came across/put together a simple calculator for US ↔ EU shipments that helps estimate the full landed cost between the US, Germany, France, and Netherlands.

No account required - just enter the product details and it generates a full breakdown with a downloadable PDF.

Sharing in case other sellers here find it useful, and curious whether the estimates look reasonable compared to your real-world numbers:
