Free tools for physical commodity trade
The arithmetic every physical trade runs on: what the cargo is called at customs, how much of it fits in a box, what it costs delivered and what the price actually is once the units agree. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
HS code lookup
Search Harmonized System headings, packing norms, contract forms and destination limits across every commodity we quote.
Container loading calculator
Work out how many bags, cartons, drums or big bags fit a container, and whether the load is weight limited or volume limited.
Landed cost calculator
Build a full import cost from unit price through freight, duty and VAT to a cost per tonne you can price against.
Commodity unit and price converter
Convert between tonnes, short tons, long tons, pounds, bags and drums, and restate a price on any of those bases.
Why we publish these
We are the counterparty on the other side of these trades, so the questions these tools answer are the ones we are asked before every deal: what heading does it clear under, how many tonnes fit the box, who pays the terminal at destination, what does it actually cost landed, and is that quote per pound or per tonne.
Answering them once and publishing the answer is cheaper than answering them one email at a time. Use them freely, with or without doing business with us. When you want a firm level on a physical cargo, or the other side of the price risk on one, the desk is a message away.
What these tools are not
They are trade practice made calculable, not legal or tax advice. Tariff classification, duty rates, contaminant limits and import controls change, differ by country and turn on facts specific to your shipment. Confirm anything that carries a liability with a licensed customs broker in the destination country, and confirm contract terms with your own counsel.
Price it with the desk
Tell us the commodity, the grade, the origin and the window. That is enough for a trader to come back with a level and a settlement route.
