This is a guideline estimate, not a customs assessment. The actual rate depends on the NCM code, the origin, any agency clearances required and the regime chosen, and rates change often. For a figure you can put in your costing, ask us for the assessment of your specific case.

Is there a number in your operation that does not add up?

Send us the proforma invoice and we will return the real assessment, with the code verified.
