International Duties And Taxes For BigCommerce

1) Find EdgeTariff in the BigCommerce App Marketplace and install it. 2) Sign up at edgectp.com and connect your BigCommerce store and carrier accounts. 3) Check that your checkout shows expected duties and taxes for products with HS codes. If you’d like help, book a demo and we’ll get you live in about 30 minutes.

Once EdgeTariff is connected and your products have HS codes, the BigCommerce checkout shows each shipping rate together with the expected import duties and taxes for the buyer’s country, plus one total landed cost. Buyers see the full price before they pay, in their own currency if you switch on FX rates.

Use a duties and taxes app that calculates them at checkout and collects them with the order. EdgeTariff applies the correct tariff schedule, VAT or GST rate, trade agreements and de minimis thresholds for 208+ countries, so every international BigCommerce order includes the right duties and taxes, and you can ship Delivered Duty Paid (DDP).

BigCommerce lets you set tax rates and zones by country, show tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive prices for each shopper's tax zone, or connect an automatic tax app. These cover sales tax and VAT. Import duties are separate: EdgeTariff adds duties and import taxes for 208+ countries to your BigCommerce checkout.

Partly. BigCommerce supports cross-border tax zones and automatic sales tax through tax apps, but it does not calculate import duties on its own. EdgeTariff calculates duties and taxes automatically for each order, based on the product's HS code and the shipping address.

Yes for VAT and GST: you can set rates per country or use a tax app, and show tax-inclusive prices. Customs duties and import taxes charged at the border are not covered by those settings. EdgeTariff shows them as part of the total landed cost at checkout, so buyers pay nothing extra on delivery when you ship DDP.

Shopify has its own duties and import taxes feature for eligible stores. BigCommerce has no built-in duty calculation, so stores add an app. EdgeTariff works on both platforms, with the same 208+ countries and the same flat $0.75 per confirmed order.

Yes, in most cases. BigCommerce’s tax settings and automatic tax providers focus on sales tax and similar taxes, so merchants add a duties and taxes app to show estimated import duties at checkout. EdgeTariff adds expected import duties and taxes for 208+ countries to the BigCommerce checkout.

EdgeTariff shows overseas buyers the cost of goods, shipping rates, and duties and taxes as one Total Landed Cost (TLC) at checkout. Buyers can decide before they pay, so there’s no price shock, and repeat international sales grow because the uncertainty of duties and taxes is gone.

Yes. With EdgeTariff, buyers pay the goods, shipping, and duties and taxes at the BigCommerce checkout. You print a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) label that bills duties and taxes to you as the shipper, the carrier clears customs, and bills you later on its normal cycle.

The app is free to install from the BigCommerce App Marketplace. Using EdgeTariff costs $99 a month plus a flat $0.75 per confirmed order, with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract. See our pricing page for details.

No. EdgeTariff charges a flat $0.75 only for checkouts that become confirmed orders. If a buyer sees the duties and taxes and leaves, you aren’t charged.

FedEx, UPS, DHL Express, USPS and SAIA are fully compatible, with more added in each release. Your own carrier accounts set the rates shown at the BigCommerce checkout, and you can adjust them to suit your fulfilment.

Yes. Ask our team for an EdgeTariff API sandbox and documentation through our contact page. Once built, your custom store or checkout shows expected duties and taxes the same way as a standard BigCommerce checkout.
