Tools that actually reflect how freight works in the real world

FreightFigures is the go-to free resource for shippers, importers, and logistics managers who need accurate, current, and practical tools to understand their freight costs and customs obligations.

Who We Are

The team behind FreightFigures has spent decades in the trenches of US import/export logistics. Our primary operations are based at the Port of Charleston, where we've operated as a licensed Customs Bonded 3PL since 1995. Over 30 years working directly with importers, freight carriers, and customs brokers has given us an up-close view of where shippers get burned.

Surprise reclassifications. Tariff stacking confusion. Accessorial fee shock. Inaccurate duty estimates. We've seen it all. We understand the tools because we've used them, and more often, we've had to build our own spreadsheets because nothing free existed that was accurate enough.

Why We Built FreightFigures

Existing free tools are fragmented across dozens of sites, often outdated, and rarely reflect current tariff schedules.

Paywalled options charge $200–500/month for capabilities that every shipper needs just to understand their own costs.

The tariff landscape changed dramatically in 2025–2026 and most calculators still reflect 2019 rates.

We built FreightFigures to give small and mid-size importers the same calculation capability as Fortune 500 logistics departments.

What Makes Our Tools Different

Current Rates

We update tariff schedules, carrier FSC tables, and NMFC classifications as they change. Not 2018 data dressed up as current.

Real Methodology

Every calculator cites its data source. Freight class follows NMFTA Docket 2025-1. Duty rates reflect published Federal Register notices.

Built by Practitioners

These tools were built to solve real problems we encounter in daily operations at the Port of Charleston.
