BigCommerce Shipping Cost Calculator - Frequently Asked Questions
These BigCommerce inputs are editable starting points. Use them to model inbound freight, outbound shipping or fulfillment, payment fees, import duty, and margin before committing to inventory.
Can I use this as a BigCommerce shipping cost calculator?
Yes, for planning imported product economics. Use Freight for inbound import shipping and Fulfillment for outbound shipping, pick-pack, or handling cost. It does not quote live carrier rates or configure checkout shipping rules inside BigCommerce.
Does this handle multi-origin shipping for BigCommerce?
The origin scenarios compare how different countries of origin affect landed cost, duty, Section 301 exposure, and margin. That helps with multi-origin sourcing decisions, but it is not a warehouse routing or live multi-origin carrier-rate tool.
What is landed cost?
Landed cost is the total per-unit cost of bringing an imported product to your fulfillment location: supplier cost, freight, import duty, MPF, HMF, tariff overlays, and brokerage. Marketplace fees and outbound fulfillment are added separately in this calculator so you can see the full margin picture before placing an order.
How do I find my HTS code and duty rate?
Use the product lookup field at the top of the calculator for common categories, or search the USITC HTS database directly. Your HTS code determines both the base duty rate and which Section 301 tariff overlay applies if you're sourcing from China.
Does this replace a customs broker?
No. This is a pre-purchase margin planning tool. It estimates costs for evaluation purposes only and does not classify goods, issue customs rulings, or advise on compliance. For regulated products or first-time imports, work with a licensed customs broker.
