Customs value in United States
Customs valuation
FOB-type basis — international freight and insurance are excluded
Transaction value: the price actually paid or payable for the goods when sold for exportation to the United States, plus statutory additions (packing, selling commissions, assists, royalties, proceeds). International freight and insurance are excluded.
19 U.S.C. §1401a(b) · United States Code
Under this basis the invoice is only the starting point. LandedGrid uses your Incoterm to decide which transport costs are inside the price, then adds or removes them, and adds packing, selling commissions, assists and royalties where you report them. If the sale is between related parties or there is no sale, the transaction value method may not be available and the calculation stops at “valuation review required”.
What LandedGrid does not calculate for this destination
- preferences: Bilateral and regional FTA rates in the HTS Special column are covered. GSP, AGOA, CBERA/CBTPA and Nepal preferences are not offered because their beneficiary lists are not yet ingested from an official source.
- additional tariffs: Additional tariffs under Chapter 99 of the HTS (Section 301, Section 232, country-specific and emergency measures) cannot be verified automatically: the subheading and country coverage lists are published in PDF notes and Federal Register notices, not in the machine-readable schedule. Check the Chapter 99 references shown for this line, then enter the additional rate(s) that apply — or confirm that none apply.
- trade remedies: Anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders are administered by the Department of Commerce and have no official machine-readable feed. LandedGrid cannot confirm whether an order covers these goods. Search ACCESS (access.trade.gov/adcvd) for the product and country, then confirm the result here.
- customs fx: No machine-readable official CBP exchange-rate source exists. Invoices in USD are unaffected.
- regulatory: Partner Government Agency requirements (FDA, USDA, CPSC, FCC, EPA and others) are not yet covered.
- Federal excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco are not calculated; affected codes are flagged.
- Tariff-rate quota lines (Chapter 99 subchapter IV references, additional US notes) are flagged; in-quota treatment is never assumed.
