Calculate a landed cost

Calculate duties, taxes, and fees with GraphQL.

GraphQL

Zonos calculates the total landed cost for shipments, which includes duties, taxes, and any additional fees that customs, brokers, or shipping carriers may charge.

Required details for calculations 

To get an accurate landed cost calculation, Zonos will need shipping information and HS codes for all items in the shipment.

HS codes

To calculate the landed cost, you must have HS codes for each item in a shipment. You can pass the HS code for each item or let Classify generate them.

Pass HS codes for each item

Zonos highly recommends using product-specific HS codes as it leads to a more accurate landed cost quote. If you need help generating HS codes for your products, learn about Zonos Classify and how to request a classification.

Generate HS codes with Classify

If you do not pass Zonos an hsCode, we'll first check Zonos Catalog to see if you have an HS code stored for your item. If you don't, we'll call Classify to generate a classification to power your landed cost calculation based on the following itemCreateWorkflow product detail fields: description, category, and material. If your product detail fields are not detailed enough to generate a classification based on Classify's confidence scoring, the default HS code assigned to your store will be used.

By default, if you do not supply an hsCode and we call Classify, the hsCode generated by Classify will not be returned in the response as it will only be utilized internally to generate your landed cost. However, if you have a Classify subscription, we'll return Classify's HS code in your landed cost response, create a Catalog item if one doesn't already exist, and store your HS code for future use.

Shipping cost

The cost of shipping is used to calculate the landed cost and must be included for an accurate landed cost calculation. Zonos can calculate shipping or it can be passed.

Calculate shipping

To use Zonos to calculate shipping costs use the shipmentRatingCalculateWorkflow portion of the request. The shipment options returned in the calculated shipping response will correlate with the serviceLevels you have assigned to shipping profiles in Dashboard. If you are expecting a serviceLevel in the response but it does not show up, please ensure that that serviceLevel is enabled and is supported by the method you selected.

Pass shipping costs

If you know the serviceLevel and amount for a shipment, you can pass those in the shipmentRatingCreateWorkflow portion of the request. We will use those values to calculate any associated carrier fees and return those in the response.
