Privacy Policy & 100% Local Browser Calculation Guarantee

Zero Commercial Data Upload Architecture

Under our strict privacy policy, ChinaTariffCalculator.com is engineered as a client-side financial computation tool for U.S. importers, Amazon FBA sellers, and customs compliance teams. Every FOB value, unit quantity, freight rate, target retail price, and forwarder DDP quote you enter into our calculator is processed exclusively inside your browser's local JavaScript memory. We never transmit, log, or store your private sourcing prices or commercial invoice figures on any remote database.

Shareable Scenario Links & URL Hash Parameters

When you click "Share Scenario," our application encodes your selected numbers into a client-side URL hash fragment (#...). In accordance with standard HTTP specifications and our privacy policy, URL hash fragments are processed solely by the recipient's browser and are never sent to web servers during page requests, ensuring complete confidentiality when sharing landed cost models with your customs broker or purchasing team.

Public USITC HTS Keyword Queries & Cookie Policy

Comparing air freight versus sea freight inside the privacy policy reveals how fixed CBP minimum MPF charges impact smaller trial orders.

Under the First Sale Rule (19 CFR 152.103), multi-tiered transactions involving a Chinese factory and a middleman trading company may qualify for duty assessment on the lower factory price.

Country-of-origin marking rules under 19 U.S.C. 1304 require every imported retail unit and outer master carton to bear a conspicuous, permanent "Made in China" label.

Every calculation inside the privacy policy follows strict 19 U.S.C. 1401a transaction valuation standards without logging your confidential supplier pricing.

Failure to declare applicable Section 301 or Section 232 Chapter 99 subheadings on Entry Form 7501 can trigger CBP Form 29 notices of action and 19 U.S.C. 1592 negligence penalties.

Express courier shipments cleared via DHL, UPS, or FedEx under $2,500 use informal entry procedures, whereas consolidated commercial pallets above $2,500 require formal brokerage.

Frequently Asked Questions: Privacy Policy

Are my FOB product prices or HTS searches stored on your servers?

No. All landed cost calculations run 100% locally in your web browser. Optional USITC HTS keyword lookups query public tariff schedules without logging personal or company identifiers.

When I export a CSV or print a PDF customs estimate, where is the file generated?

Both the CSV breakdown file and the printable CBP Form 7501 estimate are generated directly inside your browser using local JavaScript Blob and window.print() APIs.

Does sharing a scenario link expose my supplier pricing to public search engines?

No. Scenario parameters are stored after the '#' hash symbol in the URL, which is only visible to people with whom you explicitly share the link.
