How it works

Customs duty = CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100; VAT = (CIF value + CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100) × VAT % ÷ 100; Total landed cost = CIF value + CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100 + (CIF value + CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100) × VAT % ÷ 100 + Other fees

The Car Import Duty Calculator substitutes your inputs (CIF value, Customs duty %, VAT %, Other fees) into the standard expression: Customs duty = CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100; VAT = (CIF value + CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100) × VAT % ÷ 100; Total landed cost = CIF value + CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100 + (CIF value + CIF value × Customs duty % ÷ 100) × VAT % ÷ 100 + Other fees. Every variable is read straight from the fields on this page, and the result is computed the moment you enter the values.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Specify the vehicle specifications.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    After entering the values, click "Calculate" to view the output.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Save or share the result as needed.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Review the breakdown: the car import duty calculator shows each of your inputs substituted into the page's standard expression, so every variable stays traceable.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Compare scenarios by varying a single value per run in the car import duty calculator — that isolates which of the formula's inputs actually drives the result.

Use Cases

Compute Car Import Duty from real inputs

Enter the values of CIF value and Customs duty % with the remaining labeled fields and the page evaluates the standard expression directly, the same formula quoted above, computed to 8 significant digits with no rounding shortcuts.

Test what-if scenarios

Change one variable at a time, CIF value then Customs duty %, and compare the results to see which input moves the Car Import Duty most; that isolates the driver instead of shifting several values at once.

Tips

  • 1

    The Car Import Duty Calculator needs every variable in consistent units — CIF value, Customs duty % — before the standard formula returns a valid result, so check each field's unit before entering values copied from elsewhere.

  • 2

    Copy the Car Import Duty result together with the input values that produced it; a number without its documented inputs cannot be re-verified later, and assumptions are easy to forget once the session is closed.

  • 3

    Enter values in the units the Car Import Duty fields expect — CIF value, Customs duty % and the rest; mismatched units are the most common way a correct formula yields a wrong number no calculator can detect.

Common Mistakes

  • Zero and negatives can sit outside the formula's domain: zero customs duty % may make the Car Import Duty undefined, and a negative cif value still returns a number. Check each input is inside the range the quantity allows.

  • CIF value and Customs duty % must be entered in one consistent unit system: months against years skews the Car Import Duty result silently. Convert every input to the unit named on its field first.
