Terms of service

Last updated: 2026-06-11

These terms govern your use of Customs Broker Cost Estimator (https://broker.shipcostlab.com), a free informational tool operated by José Manuel Volante González.

The service

The estimator is provided as-is, free of charge, for informational use. No account, registration, or subscription exists. Results are orientative estimates built from published fee schedules and industry survey ranges — they are not a quote, not tax advice, not legal advice, and not customs brokerage. Confirm any figure with a licensed customs broker before filing.

Acceptable use

You may use the calculator for personal or commercial estimation. You may not scrape the site at abusive volume, attempt to disrupt its availability, or misrepresent its outputs as an official quote from any customs authority or broker.

Our content

Calculator logic, copy, and design are owned by the operator unless otherwise attributed. Statutory figures (e.g. CBP MPF/HMF rates) are public information; their selection and presentation here may be quoted in short excerpts with attribution.

Third-party links

Pages may link to third-party resources (statutes, agency fee schedules, industry associations) for reference. We are not responsible for their availability or accuracy.

No warranty and liability

The service is provided without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. The operator is not liable for filing decisions, duty assessments, or commercial outcomes based on estimates produced here.

Changes

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance. Material changes are reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
