A sample TrueCost Pro report

This is the report a Pro project produces, built from illustrative figures. Print it, save it as a PDF, or download the same data as CSV to see exactly what you would hand to a partner, a bank or your accountant.

Illustrative demo — not customer data

This is a read-only copy of the TrueCost Pro workspace filled with invented figures. Nothing here is saved, editable or based on a real importer, and the duty, excise and levy rates are placeholders you would verify with the destination customs authority.

The first six HS digits and their wording come from the UN HS 2022 reference. National 8–10 digit tariff lines, their wording and their rates must be verified with the destination customs authority.

Hazardous screening only. TrueCost compares your HS code against a list of HS groups commonly regulated as dangerous goods under the UN Model Regulations (IMDG for sea, IATA DGR for air). An HS code cannot classify a consignment: only the substance, concentration, flash point, quantity and packaging can. Always rely on the supplier's safety data sheet, your freight forwarder's dangerous-goods declaration and the destination authority.

Estimate only. Duty, excise, levy and tax rates change, and classification, origin and exemptions affect the outcome. Confirm every figure against the destination tariff and your clearing agent before you commit to a purchase or a selling price.
