Hi, I have an EU based website and ship to the USA. I’m think my best shipping solution to deal with duty and tariffs is to add an app that will calculate at check-out allowing me to ship DPP.
As a band-aid solution, I’d like to just add to the shipping amount (opposed to a separate line item). Does any one have a quick calculation for this. I assume the tariff would be %15. Then I would have to add duty? Processing costs? I’d be shipping FedEx DPP. I just need some ballpark calculations.
Thanks
You’re on the right track with wanting to ship DDP to the US. As a temporary fix, you can add about 15–20% to your shipping cost to roughly cover duties, tariffs, and processing fees.
You’re on the right track with considering DDP shipping for your US orders. The ideal setup involves enabling tax calculation, marking shipments as DDP, and using a tool like PluginHive’s Multi Carrier Shipping Label App to automate duties, taxes, and customs documentation.
