Why you enter the prices yourself
Usfans says it offers more than 200 shipping lines to more than 200 countries and regions. Their prices change with fuel costs, seasons and promotions, and each country sees a different list. A calculator with fixed prices would be wrong for most visitors within weeks. This one does the parts that don't change, the weight maths and the EU tax rules, and uses the prices Usfans shows you for your parcel today.
Stable maths, live prices: copy them from your own parcel page.
Weight or size: which decides?
Most lines charge for whichever is larger: what the parcel weighs, or what its box size implies. Volumetric weight is the box's length × width × height in centimetres divided by the line's factor. The estimator shows which one decides your price. When size wins, the parcel is mostly air, and the fix is packing: removing shoe boxes, folding jackets tightly or asking for a smaller carton.
| Box (cm) | ÷ 6,000 | ÷ 5,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 35 × 28 × 14 | 2.29 kg | 2.74 kg |
| 40 × 30 × 20 | 4.00 kg | 4.80 kg |
| 50 × 35 × 25 | 7.29 kg | 8.75 kg |
If "size decides" appears, repack before you pay; it's the cheapest saving available.
Counting item categories for the EU duty
Since 1 July 2026, the EU charges a temporary €3 customs duty for each different item category in parcels worth up to €150 sent under IOSS. Categories follow customs tariff headings, so in practice count product types: ten identical t-shirts are one category, a t-shirt and a cap are two, and trainers, a hoodie and a bag are three. Above €150, normal duty rates apply instead; the estimator flags that case without estimating it. VAT applies on top, from the first euro.
Fewer product types per EU parcel means less duty; count types, not pieces.
VAT rates for Usfans' biggest markets
US buyers can leave VAT at zero; duties on low-value US parcels apply since 2025, and lines with duties included settle them at checkout. See New York.
Enter your country's VAT unless the line already includes it.

FAQ
Why do I have to enter Usfans' line prices?
Usfans offers more than 200 lines with prices that change and differ by country. Copying the prices from your own parcel page keeps the estimate accurate.
What is billable weight?
The larger of the real weight and the volumetric weight, which is length × width × height in centimetres divided by the line's factor, often 5,000 or 6,000.
How does the €3 EU duty work?
Since 1 July 2026, parcels up to €150 sent under IOSS pay €3 for each different item category. Count product types, not pieces: ten identical t-shirts are one category.
Should I include VAT?
Enter your country's rate (21% in Spain, 20% in France, 19% in Germany, 22% in Italy) unless the line already includes taxes, in which case leave it at zero.
How accurate is the estimate?
As accurate as the prices and measurements you enter. A packed parcel can weigh more than its contents; leave a margin.
