Illustrative example
The problem
Surprise fees cost you the sale.
Cross-border shoppers walk away when duties and taxes show up after checkout, or when a parcel stalls in customs.
01
Charges at the door
Unexpected duty and tax bills at delivery are a top driver of cross-border cart abandonment.
02
Parcels stuck in customs
Missing or incorrect Harmonized System (HS) codes trigger holds that delay delivery and frustrate buyers.
03
Checkout that falls behind
Shoppers expect the full price up front. If your competitors show it and you don't, they win the order.
How it works
Screens first. Then calculates one verified number.
TrueCost screens every order before it calculates, so the price your shopper sees is the price they pay. Not an estimate.

Built to fit your business, not the other way around.

Collect duties at checkout or let the buyer pay on arrival. TrueCost supports both incoterms, so you choose the model.
Does TrueCost work with my current carrier or 3PL?
TrueCost works for any international shipper, whatever carrier or fulfillment partner you use today.
Where does TrueCost's landed cost data come from?
A plugin-based backend draws on more than one data provider, so new sources plug in without rebuilding your integration.
What can TrueCost show me about shopper demand?
Every API call and cart quote is logged, giving you visibility into shopper behavior, including orders that never ship.
