Up-front landed cost calculations = faster delivery and happy customers

Providing international customers with an accurate total landed cost is essential for growing your business globally. The Zonos Duty & Tax app shows the total cost upfront, including any duties, taxes, brokerage fees, and other expenses, helping prevent abandoned carts and rejected packages. In addition, customers can prepay for duties and taxes for faster customs clearance and delivery times. Zonos also welcomes international shoppers in their language, increasing transparency, conversion, and sales.

Easy cross-border tax compliance management - including UK VAT and IOSS

Easy international tax compliance is essential for businesses that want to sell globally but do not want the accompanying stress and headache. With Zonos, you can stay compliant with country-specific tax schemes, such as UK VAT and IOSS, without having to register for international tax IDs or remit yourself.

Case Studies

500 percent international growth, customer satisfaction booms with Zonos

With Special Reserve Games' (SRG) massive following for their collectible video game art releases, they are no stranger to international selling and the pitfalls that come with it. Navigating the complexities of cross-border selling, such as trade laws, duty and tax calculations, and customer complaints, was starting to become a nightmare for SRG.

They found the Zonos Duty & Tax app for BigCommerce, enabling SRG to calculate landed costs and allow customers to prepay duties, taxes, and fees in their localized currency, all of which saved SRG money and eliminated international customer complaints.
