How the calculator works

Customs value is the product cost plus freight plus insurance. This is the CIF value.
Import duty is the customs value multiplied by the duty band for your product.
Excise duty, where it applies, is charged on the customs value plus import duty.
VAT at 18% is charged on the customs value plus import duty plus excise.
Withholding tax at 6%, the infrastructure levy at 1.5% and the import declaration fee at 1% are each charged on the customs value.
Pre-export inspection, clearing costs and the sourcing fee are added to give the landed cost.

Tax rates were last checked in October 2026 and are explained in our guide to import duties and taxes in Uganda. You can change any rate above.
