Landed-cost calculator: the same part, China and other countries.
Enter one SKU. Defaults reflect tariff rates in effect as of September 26, 2026 for most product categories; every assumption is editable. Estimates only — the re-quote confirms per HTS code.

Defaults reflect rates as of September 26, 2026; the default SKU is a molded EPDM gasket on HTS 4016.93.50 (MFN 2.5%, List 3). Origins other than China are shown by duty treatment; the re-quote names the factory and the country. Not modeled: Section 232 duties on steel, aluminum and copper content (25–50%, any origin), anti-dumping/countervailing duties, MPF/HMF fees, tooling amortization, and the open second Section 301 (excess-capacity) investigation. The re-quote covers all of them per HTS code.
What to do with the number.
If an alternative lands 10%+ lower
Worth a re-quote. Real factory prices, freight quotes and your exact HTS stack will move the number, but a double-digit gap usually survives contact with reality.
If it's within 5%
The decision is about lead time, MOQ flexibility, and supply resilience, not price. Truck freight from an FTA partner and a second source may still be worth it; the calculator can't tell you that, a conversation can.
If China still wins
Believe it. Plenty of re-quotes end that way, usually because the sub-supply chain or tooling speed matters more than duty. The PP enclosure on HTS 3926.90.99 (List 4A) is the pattern: $2.77 landed from China, $2.50 at the best alternative, under 1% net after our fee. The right move there is a better inspection plan at the factory you have.
About the calculator.
What is landed cost?
The full cost of a unit delivered to your door: the factory (FOB) price, plus duty and tariffs, plus freight and insurance, plus customs fees and any agent or broker fees. Comparing origins on FOB price alone is how a $1.20 part turns out to cost $1.74 at the dock.
How is duty calculated in this tool?
Duty is applied to the FOB value: MFN rate plus any origin-specific additional tariff. For China the default adds 37.5 points (the 25% List 1–3 rate plus 12.5% Section 301); use 20 for List 4A and 12.5 if unlisted. For the 12.5% origin the default adds 12.5 points to MFN. For the FTA origin with the rule-of-origin box checked, both MFN and Section 301 are zero; unchecked, it pays MFN + 10%. Change any of these to match your HTS code.
What does the calculator leave out?
Section 232 duties on steel, aluminum and copper content (they apply from every origin, FTA partners included, and replace the 12.5%), anti-dumping and countervailing duties on specific products, the Merchandise Processing Fee and Harbor Maintenance Fee, tooling amortization, inventory carrying cost during transit, and the outcome of the open Section 301 excess-capacity investigation. The free re-quote models all of these per HTS code.
Where do the tariff defaults come from?
From the rates in effect as of September 26, 2026: the July 24, 2026 Section 301 action — 12.5% on China and most other economies, 10% on the rest — on top of the pre-existing China list rates (25% on Lists 1–3, 7.5% on List 4A); 0% for FTA-qualifying goods, which are exempt from Section 301 and have MFN waived; and Section 232 (reset June 8, 2026) for metal content, which sits outside this tool. The 10% Section 122 surcharge that ran from February 24 expired on schedule on July 24. Rates change; the method doesn't.
