Free tool — nothing to sign up for
A unit price is not a cost. This models what your goods actually cost delivered, and — importantly — calculates GST the way the ATO and New Zealand Customs actually calculate it: on the value of the taxable importation, which includes freight, insurance and duty, not just the goods.
That single detail is where most published calculators go quietly wrong, and it understates landed cost by roughly the GST on your freight bill.

An indicative model, not a quotation. Freight, terminal and clearance charges vary by lane, carrier and season; duty depends on the tariff classification of your specific goods and on whether a valid origin document supports a free-trade preference. Confirm the classification and duty position with a licensed customs broker before you rely on it.
