Zonos provides cross-border commerce tools: landed cost calculation for duties and taxes, HS code classification, a localized international checkout, restricted-item screening and customs brokerage. It connects to ecommerce platforms and works with a seller's own carrier accounts. Prices are not published. - **Category:** Shipping Software - **Made by:** Zonos - **Website:** https://zonos.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price first: only a contact-sales form is shown. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing Zonos's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Landed cost:** Calculates duties, taxes and fees for over 200 countries and territories, and says it covers the difference if customs charges more than quoted. - **HS code classification:** Classify assigns tariff codes from a product description or image; a deeper tier is called Classify Ultra. - **Localized checkout:** Checkout shows prices in the shopper's currency and supports local payment methods, with plugins for Magento, BigCommerce and WooCommerce. - **Brokerage:** A licensed U.S. customs brokerage subsidiary files informal entries for high-volume parcel programs. - **Hello widget:** A drop-in website widget that converts prices to local currency and estimates duty and tax for visitors. - **Bring your own carriers:** Shipping labels and commercial invoices can be generated, using the seller's own carrier rates, including DDP shipping. ## Good for - Online sellers shipping to many countries who want duties paid at checkout - Carriers and consolidators that need classification and customs filing ## Worth knowing - No prices are published; the pricing address redirects to a contact-sales form. - Products are separate (Checkout, Landed Cost, Classify, Brokerage), so costs depend on which you use. - The brokerage service is focused on U.S. entries. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Zonos calculates duties and taxes, classifies products and handles customs brokerage for cross-border orders, sold as separate products. It publishes no prices, only a contact-sales form, offers no free plan or trial, and the brokerage side is focused on US entries. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; the pricing address leads to a contact-sales form, so there is nothing to set against the $20 category middle. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial on the pages read. - **Features: C.** Landed cost, product classification, checkout, brokerage and carrier links. They are separate products, so cost and coverage depend on which you buy. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It plugs into your store and carriers through an API, so it is a C. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Shopify, DHL, FedEx, UPS and an API. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Zonos's own pages on 12 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/shipping ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Zonos you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 50 of the 80 other shipping software grade higher. - You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Magento, BigCommerce and WooCommerce among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
