Duty and taxes in checkout

    Hi all!

    I am looking at moving back to Woocommerce with my online store, and i am currently testing what options are available to use.

    I am having a hard time finding a solution to calculate duty and taxes in checkout based on HS tariff codes (customs codes) – this is because we sell food and non-food and the VAT and duty is very different from country to country. We use Shopify today and they have a solution for this – but like everything else on Shopify it’s high cost!

    The alternatives i have found so far:
    Woocommerce Tax – but it seems i cannot use this as i am located in Norway (Europe).
    Easyship – This only calculates on a pre selected type of products (for example electronics)
    Zonos – They have HS code support – but want almost 6400 USD for setup and 12 months subscription.
    DHL Duty and Tax API – Can be used for any integration, but i can’t seem to find anything made ready for Woocommerce.

    Do you have any suggestions of do’s and dont’s? Any experience?
    Do you have a solution that works for your ecommerce store, selling internationally today with a live tax calculation service?

    Please share 🙂

    Thanks!

    Hi @maxlime,

    Unfortunately, WooCommerce itself doesn’t have a built-in feature to calculate duty and taxes based on HS tariff codes. However, have you tried the Avalara AvaTax plugin? It supports HS codes, which should help with your specific needs.

    If it doesn’t helps, you can hire a developer to make a custom solution from the following:

    I wish I could help more, but hopefully, this gets you going in the right direction to get the job done.

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – we’ll be here if and/or when you are ready to continue.
