Alternative to Zonos for duties and taxes
Select a centralized duties-and-taxes solution that reveals full landed costs at checkout, enforces country-specific rules automatically, and provides audit-ready tax remittance records. It must accurately calculate, collect, and settle duties and VAT/GST, support DDP and DAP, and validate HS codes and thresholds. Centralized reporting and reconciliations strengthen compliance oversight and pricing transparency while reducing errors, chargebacks, and unexpected fees, enabling consistent cross-border operations without fragmented tools.
FAQ
### How does a centralized solution improve price transparency at checkout?
It calculates duties, taxes, and fees upfront, applies country rules automatically, and displays the total landed cost before payment so buyers see the final price with no hidden charges.
### Will it handle VAT/GST registration and remittance for multiple countries?
It should store registration details, collect tax at checkout, maintain evidence and itemization, and produce remittance-ready reports or filings to meet each country’s compliance requirements.
### Can I choose between DDP and DAP while staying compliant?
Yes. You can set DDP or DAP by market or product, with corresponding calculations, documentation, and settlements to ensure correct collection and compliant delivery outcomes.
### What reporting is needed for audits and reconciliations?
You need reconciled order-to-payout ledgers, itemized duties and taxes, HS codes, applied rates, threshold logic, and exportable audit trails by country and period.
