Which tool should you start with?
Start where your risk is. If you are pricing a shipment, the import cost estimator and China landed cost estimator turn a quoted unit price into the true landed figure — duty, clearing and inland transport included. If the payment itself is the question, the FX calculator shows what a conversion really costs and the settlement time estimator shows when funds actually arrive by route.
Dealing with a new counterparty? Price the protection first: the escrow fee calculator shows what an escrow-style workflow adds to a transaction, and the supplier risk checker flags what to verify before any deposit. Every tool is free, works without an account, and links to the matching KeyBS Pay service when you are ready to act on the numbers.
