Terms of use
Last updated: 2026-06-11
These terms govern your use of Cross-Border Returns Cost Calculator (https://returns.shipcostlab.com), a free informational tool published by José Manuel Volante González.
Nature of the service
The calculator provides indicative estimates of cross-border return shipping costs, duty drawback eligibility (US 19 U.S.C. §1313, EU UCC Art. 203, UK Returned Goods Relief) and break-even thresholds, based on versioned statutory references and the figures you enter. Results are estimates for orientation only — they are not customs, tax, or legal advice, and they do not constitute a drawback ruling. CBP, EU customs authorities, and HMRC adjudicate actual claims.
There is no user registration, no account, and no subscription. The tool runs in your browser; the figures you enter are not transmitted to us.
