# Landed Cost Calculator — Orientation Sheet

**Status:** Interactive deepen v1.1 live — duty/VAT/excise/port/clearing TZS lines; Zatra analysis · 2026-09-04
**Cluster:** 6 · Import landed cost  
**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04  
**Instrument type:** Decision checklist (qualification sheet)

This sheet is published content. It is **not** a determination by a mandate-holder. Zatra prepares and coordinates; this is not legal advice and names no advocate.

## Why this magnet exists

List duty, VAT, excise, port and clearing lines in Tanzanian shillings before you treat a landed-cost number as final.

## Qualification fields (fill before you contact the desk)

| Field | Your note |
|:---|:---|
| **Product / HS class** | |
| **Valuation basis** | |
| **Expected official charge lines** | |
| **Port / clearing quotes held** | |
| **Invoice currency** | |

## Orientation checks (self-serve)

1. **Lines before totals.** Name each charge class.
2. **Confirm rates live.** No invented tariffs.
3. **Label analysis.** Derived totals are not official statistics.
4. **Quotes on file.** Attach agent/port quotes; do not invent.

## What this sheet deliberately does not do

- Publish tariff rates as advice
- Replace TRA Customs, TPA or your clearing agent
- Interactive v1 is live on the resource page — deepen Landed Cost Calculator
