Tools
Free sourcing tools for hardware buyers
Practical calculators and reference tools built by the engineers who run our audits and inspections. No sign-up, no email wall — just the numbers you need before you commit to an order.
Why we build tools, not just guides
A guide tells you how import duty works. A tool tells you what it will cost your order. We started with the question buyers ask most before placing an order from China — “what will this actually land at after duty and tax?” — and turned it into a calculator you can use in ten seconds.
Every tool here is free and runs entirely in your browser. We do not gate them behind an email form, because a calculator you can’t use without signing up isn’t a tool, it’s a lead magnet pretending to be one.
What’s here so far
The Import Tariff & Landed-Cost Calculator estimates duty, VAT or GST, and total landed cost by product category and destination — including the 2026 changes to EU and US de-minimis thresholds that quietly raise the real cost of low-value parcels.
More tools are on the way: an MOQ-versus-unit-cost breakeven calculator and a certification-cost estimator are next. If there’s a number you keep working out by hand before every order, tell us and we’ll consider building it.
