Duties-Inclusive Pricing is a tax strategy that builds import duties directly into your product price.
Your customer sees a single, all-in product price with duties already included. Only shipping is added at checkout.
This strategy follows a similar calculation logic to VAT-Inclusive and TLC-Inclusive Pricing, but focuses specifically on duties.
Why Use Duties-Inclusive Pricing?
No surprise import fees at delivery
Clearer pricing at storefront level
Improved international conversion
Predictable landed cost experience
Customers pay duties upfront rather than facing unexpected charges at delivery or at checkout.
How It Works
When Duties-Inclusive Pricing is enabled:
Swap calculates estimated import duties based on:
Destination country
HS codes (product classification)
Duty rates
De minimis thresholds
These duties are then built into the product price displayed on your storefront.
Example
Base price: $100
Estimated duties: $15
Product price shown on storefront: $115
Shipping is added separately at checkout.
What Your Customer Sees
A single product price that already includes duties
No additional duty charges at checkout
Shipping added separately
Taxes are shown separately from product price at checkout
Orders Below De Minimis
Even when an order falls below a country’s de minimis threshold, Duties-Inclusive Pricing maintains consistent pricing logic.
If duties are not applicable due to de minimis rules, Swap will not collect them at checkout.
How Duty Rates Are Determined
Swap applies a duty calculation based on country-specific rates and product classification.
