Sources, rates and method
Rates synced 2026-11-03. HTS Revision 22 (2026) (2026HTSRev22), effective 10/30/2026. Fees checked 2026-11-03. Exchange rates: ECB reference rates of 2026-11-03.
Method
We solve for the item price P where P + shipping − marketplace fees(P + shipping) − duty(P) − carrier fees(duty) − cost − postage = target. Duty is charged on the customs value (by default the item price). Marketplace percentage fees therefore apply to the tariff you build into the price; carrier disbursement fees apply to the duty. Minimums and caps are honoured, so we solve numerically (bisection) and round up to your chosen price ending. The engine is open to inspection at /assets/js/engine.js and is covered by unit tests.
