What is the real cost of buying from overseas?

The price on an overseas shopping site is rarely the price you pay. Shipping, import duty, VAT, handling and currency conversion all add up, and the total can be much higher than the sticker price. Calculating the landed cost before you order tells you if the deal is real.

This calculator converts the price and shipping into pesos, adds duty and VAT, and shows the extra cost. If you enter the local price, it also shows how much you save or lose by buying overseas. Remember to count the waiting time and the difficulty of returns.

How the landed cost is worked out

Customs value equals the item price plus international shipping, converted to pesos at the exchange rate you enter.
Duty is the customs value times the duty percentage. VAT is applied on the customs value plus duty.
Landed cost equals customs value plus duty, VAT and any handling or brokerage fee.
Duty exemptions, thresholds and rates depend on the item and current rules, so confirm with the courier or customs before you order.

Tips to save more

Always compare the landed cost with the local price on Shopee or Lazada.
Check the return policy and warranty for overseas items.
Use a card or wallet with no foreign transaction fee when you can.
Combine several items into one order to share the shipping cost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compute the total cost of an item from Amazon?

Convert the price and shipping to pesos, add any import duty, add 12% VAT on the total, then add handling fees. The calculator shows each step and the final landed cost.

Do I always pay duty on imports?

Not always. Duty depends on the item, its value and current rules, so enter the rate that applies or 0 if none does, and check the latest customs guidance.

What exchange rate should I use?

Use today's rate from your bank, wallet or card, since cards often add a small conversion fee. Enter a slightly higher rate to be cautious.

Why compare with the local price?

An overseas deal is only worth it if the landed cost, including waiting time and return risk, is clearly lower than the local price.

Is Temu shipping included?

Some Temu orders have free or low shipping. Enter the shipping you actually see at checkout, even if it is 0.
