Estimate customs duty and other import taxes from an entered assessable value and combined rates. Use current figures from your seller dashboard, supplier quotation, courier tariff or payment statement. Every major assumption stays editable because platform terms, return rates, taxes and business costs differ by seller and can change.
How to use it
- 1
Use current values from your store dashboard, supplier invoice, courier tariff or payment statement.
- 2
Include costs that occur outside the marketplace, such as packaging, returns, advertising and withdrawal charges.
- 3
Test a conservative scenario before changing prices, stocking inventory or committing cash.
Formula and methodology
Estimated import charges = assessable value × (duty rate + other import-tax rate).
Calculates revenue, cost and profit from the commercial assumptions entered. Reconcile results with current platform, courier, payment and tax statements.
Worked calculation example
PKR 1 million assessable value at 20% duty plus 18% other taxes produces PKR 380,000 charges.

Scenario comparison
| Scenario | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|
| Worked baseline | PKR 1 million assessable value at 20% duty plus 18% other taxes produces PKR 380,000 charges. |
| Changing commercial terms check | Marketplace commissions, payment fees, courier tariffs and exchange rates can change without matching older examples. |
| Returns and timing stress test | COD failures, refunds, settlement delays and inventory lead times affect cash differently from accounting profit. |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring changing commercial terms: Marketplace commissions, payment fees, courier tariffs and exchange rates can change without matching older examples.
- Overlooking returns and timing: COD failures, refunds, settlement delays and inventory lead times affect cash differently from accounting profit.
- Failing to test tax and records: Keep invoices and reconcile the estimate with current tax, customs and platform documentation.
Compare the estimate with supplier invoices, platform statements, tax records and actual sales from the same period.
