Build a landed-cost request.
See every gap.

Enter the shipment facts you already know, including the carrier quote. DutyMesh checks the request shape and names missing calculation components; it does not guess an incomplete total.

WHAT LANDED COST NEEDS

The carrier quote is an input—not a number DutyMesh should invent.

01

Add shipment facts

Destination, date, tariff code, price, shipping, insurance, transaction type, and incoterm establish the request.

02

Supply carrier charges

Freight, brokerage, disbursement, advancement, or clearance charges can vary by carrier and service. Use the actual quote when it is available.

03

Keep unknowns visible

Duty, import tax or VAT/GST, preferences, remedies, official fees, and FX must all be supported before a complete total can be released.

This request defaults to no preference claim and an unknown tax-collection pathway. The selected audited code changes with the product and destination, but you remain responsible for classification. The endpoint validates the request and then refuses an incomplete quote.
