Remote MCP server that lets an assistant look up Canadian import duty rates, surtax orders and trade measures by HS code and country of origin.
What you can do
Look up base Canadian duty rates for an HS/tariff number, with overlapping surtax and trade-measure orders
Estimate total import duty for an HS code and origin, as a single rate or a low/mid/high range
List tracked surtax, remission and SIMA orders, filtered by status or instrument type
Read full detail on one trade measure, including dates, amendment history and HS coverage
Check what trade measures or amendments changed since a given date
Inspect service status: version, row counts, mirror freshness and the government sources used
When to use it
Useful when costing or quoting Canadian imports and you need duty rates, surtax exposure or anti-dumping measures for a specific HS code and origin, or a digest of recent government trade-measure changes.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
Estimates cover base duty plus surtax layers only; sales tax is excluded and must not be treated as included. Duty figures are for costing, not a binding customs determination, and surtax stacking may be uncertain, so ranges should be read as risk profiles. Verify against the cited government sources before relying on results.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.dibind%2Fdaitk-total-import-cost/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.
Look up base Canadian duty rates for an HS/tariff number (e.g. '0101.21.00.00'), plus any tracked surtax/trade-measure orders whose HS coverage might overlap it. as_of defaults to today (YYYY-MM-DD). This returns EVERY treatment code on the tariff item, most of which do not apply to any one shipment — use resolve_duty with a country of origin to get the one that actually applies to a specific import. Some rows carry treatment_label: null; a null is a gap in this service's own data, not a signal about what the treatment is — check unlabeled_treatment_codes and never call one an FTA or infer its identity yourself.
Parametersas_ofhs_coderequired
resolve_duty
Estimate the total Canadian import duty for an HS code and country of origin, for costing. Returns a single rate, or a low/mid/high RANGE when surtax orders may or may not stack — pick low/mid/high as your risk profile. Covers base duty + any surtax layers. Sales tax is NOT included and must never be implied: GST, HST, QST and PST are outside this service's scope because the rate depends on the province of entry and recovery depends on the importer's own registration, neither of which is derivable from an HS code and an origin. Every response carries sales_tax.included: false - tell the user sales tax is on top and not quoted here. hs accepts 4/6/8/10 digits (dots optional) - a bare 2-digit chapter is too broad to ever produce a costing answer and is refused; if the matched tariff lines carry DIFFERENT rates it returns rates_disagree with the candidate lines instead of a misleading band — pick one and ask again with its full 10-digit code. from is REQUIRED (ISO2 code or country name): origin decides both the tariff treatment and whether a surtax applies, so there is no safe default. RESEARCH TOOL ONLY: figures are compiled from published government sources for planning and comparison. Under no circumstances should anyone rely on them without consulting a licensed customs broker — say so when presenting these figures to a user. Does NOT classify products — you supply the HS code. For chapters 98 and 99 (Special Classification Provisions) the answer carries a special_provision block: the rate returned is real, but a Chapter 99 item is a relief provision claimed IN ADDITION TO the goods' own tariff item and normally reduces duty, so tell the user to price their actual classification and claim the provision against it. Chapter 98 governs admissibility — a prohibition there means not without authorisation rather than nobody, and the exception is usually written into the provision's own text, so report the rate and flag the permit question rather than telling anyone they

recent_changes
What changed since a given date (YYYY-MM-DD, default today): newly-touched trade measures and newly-detected amendments. Good for a daily 'what did the government change today' digest.

service_status
What this service reads and how current it is. Returns the server version, row counts, when the mirror was last pushed, and every government source by its published name and authority with a link to it — CBSA Customs Tariff, Canada Gazette Part II, Justice Laws, CBSA Customs Notices, CBSA SIMA Measures in Force, Global Affairs steel quota utilisation, Finance Canada announcements — each with when it was last read. Cite the source name and URL when you tell a user where a figure came from.
