What free tools or calculators can I use to model landed cost before I place an order?

For India specifically, run your product through DutyDecoder or the official ICEGATE customs duty calculator to get duty and IGST estimates by HS code, then cross-check with a second tool like Eximigo's since duty slabs are easy to misclassify. None of these replace a customs broker for your actual filing, but they're good enough to sanity-check a quote before you commit money.
