  • Landed cost / duty calculation
  • Sales tax / VAT / GST estimation
  • HS code classification
  • DDP vs DAP pricing support
  • Checkout tax calculation

A few well-known options include:

  • Avalara – strong on tax calculation, cross-border indirect tax, and marketplace compliance

  2. Country-specific VAT/GST rules
  3. Import compliance and customs data
  4. Marketplace facilitator tax logic
  5. Integration with your platform (Shopify, Magento, custom marketplace, APIs)
  6. Support for DDP and landed-cost pricing

Best-fit by use case

  • U.S.-first marketplace sales tax: TaxJar, Avalara
  • Shipping/logistics-driven landed cost: carrier/tax tools like DHL or customs-focused platforms

If you want, I can also give you a shortlist by company size, pricing model, or integration stack (Shopify, Stripe, custom marketplace, etc.).
