Duty is only one part of a US landed-cost model. MPF and HMF can also affect the final quote, especially when freight terms and entry type vary.

Where they fit
MPF is a customs processing fee commonly modeled alongside duty in an import-cost estimate.
HMF is associated with certain ocean imports and should be reviewed when modeling port-arrival landed cost.
The exact calculation can depend on entry type, value, mode, and current CBP rules.

How to use the estimate
Use calculator output as a quote planning benchmark. Before a shipment moves, confirm the fee treatment with the broker or filing party.
Separate freight, insurance, duty, MPF, HMF, and local charges in customer-facing quote notes so changes are easier to explain.
