What is KeebTax?

2

KeebTax is a free tool that instantly calculates the total cost of importing keyboard-related products from abroad.

Simply enter the price of the item and you will see at a glance the actual amount paid, including customs duties, sales tax, and shipping carrier fees.

In addition to shipping charges, import duties and import consumption tax may be charged on purchases from overseas.

The aim of “KeebTax” is to visualize this and make it easier for individuals to purchase foreign products.
