Vehicle import

The calculator converts your purchase currency to USD at request time, estimates freight by shipping method (Ro-Ro / container / air), and applies duty + federal fees based on rules tables. You also get state-level items and a compliance checklist to move faster.

  • FX conversion at request (server side) and CIF build (price + freight + insurance).
  • Duty from HTS class per vehicle type; extra trade surcharges only if active in rules.
  • Federal fees (e.g., MPF / HMF for maritime) from the rules file with min/max caps.
  • State use tax / DMV line items where available in the fee tables.
  • Exportable PDF with a step-by-step plan and legal references.
