Estimate the full cost of a US refurbished purchase
RefurbMe’s Import Costs calculator estimates the delivered cost of buying a product in the United States and sending it to another country through a package forwarder. It is designed for shoppers comparing refurbished Apple purchases when local Apple refurbished-store availability or pricing differs by country.
For each supported destination, the tool combines the item price, applicable US sales tax, forwarder fees, courier shipping, customs duty, and local tax. It also compares six forwarding services and identifies countries where Apple operates a Certified Refurbished online store. Estimates are illustrative rather than final invoices because insurance, clearance, currency conversion, and local delivery charges are not included and actual customs or courier charges may change.
