UPS has taken advantage of the confusion and uncertainty surrounding tariffs and other charges to introduce a landed cost calculator for online orders, which merchants can integrate into their check-out.

The integrator backs the new offering with a guarantee of accuracy.

It says its Global Checkout service gives accurate, up-to-date pricing by adjusting for policy changes, tax laws, duties, and tariffs “almost in real-time”, thereby eliminating “unpleasant surprises” for consumers, in the shape of additional charges.
