DAITK-TIC · TOTAL IMPORT COST
Know the duty before the container ships.
Enter an HS code and a country of origin. DAITK-TIC returns the Canadian duty picture — base rate, surtaxes, quota flags and anti-dumping measures — with a link to every government source.
Rebuilt every night from primary Canadian government sources. Answers come from the source text, not from a model's memory.
What is DAITK-TIC?
DAITK-TIC (Total Import Cost) is a free AI tool from Dibblee Industries that calculates Canadian import duty for any HS code and country of origin. It returns base duty, surtaxes, quota flags and anti-dumping (SIMA) measures from primary government sources refreshed nightly, through a web form, Claude, an MCP server and a REST API.
THE PLATFORM
One engine. Four doors.
DAITK-TIC is the showcase for how every DAITK tool is built: one source-grounded engine, open to people, assistants, agents and developers at the same time — all reading the same data, all giving the same answer.
AI assistant
For your assistant
Add DAITK-TIC to Claude and ask in plain language: “What's the duty on these valves from Vietnam?”
Add to Claude ↗ MCP
For agents
A Model Context Protocol server at daitk-tic.dibind.com/mcp with six tools: duty, tariff lookup, trade measures, measure detail, recent changes and status.
Developer guide ↗ API
For developers
A JSON REST API with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec. One GET for the whole duty picture.

The whole duty picture, not just the rate.
BASE DUTY
Every tariff treatment
Most-Favoured-Nation and preferential rates under Canada's trade agreements, by country of origin.
SURTAXES
Surtax orders, applied by date
Current surtax and countermeasure orders applied to your arrival date, so the answer reflects the day your goods land.
QUOTAS
Quota and safeguard flags
Tariff-rate quotas and safeguard measures flagged before they surprise you at the border.
ANTI-DUMPING
SIMA measures in view
Anti-dumping and countervailing measures in force, linked to the order that imposes them.
SOURCES
Every answer cited
Links to the CBSA, Canada Gazette, Justice Laws and Department of Finance texts behind every figure.
CHANGES
What changed this week
Recent measure changes by date, so procurement sees policy shifts the day they're published.
HOW IT'S BUILT
Sovereign AI, grounded in the source.
- Eight nightly pollers read primary Canadian government sources: CBSA, Canada Gazette Part II, Justice Laws, customs notices, SIMA measures, Global Affairs Canada quotas and Department of Finance announcements.
- One read-only mirror serves every door, so the web form, the assistant and the API always agree.
- The live service is decoupled from its sources — a slow government site never slows your lookup.
- Built by an importer, for importers — because the Canadian tool we needed didn't exist.
