    Hi, I need to add some custom import taxes in my store based on logic. I don’t see an easy way of allowing logic in the tax section. Any suggestions? Both the following need to be applied to each item in the cart.
    I could just calculate these and add to the input price in product setup, but more it is ideal to show this breakdown at checkout through a custom tax line item.

    1. Customs entry fee – Either of the below:
    a. If product Cost < $1000 = $98, or between 1000-10000 = $200

    2. Import GST
    a. If product Cost >$1000 = 10% GST

    Any suggestions?

    Hey @kbulfin

    For this, you can use different tax classes. Every product can have a certain tax class, and then you can charge the proper amount of tax based on that class.

    For example, any product that costs less than $1000 can have a tax class called “Low Tax”, and above that, it can have tax class “High Tax”. You can then set the tax for both these classes under WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → Low Tax Rates and WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → High Tax Rates.

    It’s not possible to add a fixed rate though — only a percentage of the product’s price.

    You can read a bit more about that here:

    Thanks for the response.

    Can I apply numerous tax classes per product?
    As the use case exist there a product meets both these criterial (i.e. is $2500 total prcie), as well as being subject to GST.

    Hey @kbulfin

    Any product can only have 1 tax class. If you want to have 2 additional fees to each product, then that will require some additional custom code.

    mmm, thanks. I was afraid of that.
    I found a few plugins that might work that allow additional ‘fees’ to be charged to the cart based on product etc.
