Three rates, three different uses
Customs uses the rate your own government notifies for duty, on its own timetable — monthly in some countries,
quarterly in others. Quoting uses the market rate shown
here. Actual payment uses your bank's buying or selling rate. Mixing them up is why customs
paperwork ends up not matching.
Exchange rate questions
Which exchange rate should I use for customs?
CBP uses the quarterly exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve. It is not the market rate shown here and not your bank card rate. The three differ, and the wrong one makes your customs paperwork disagree.
Where do these rates come from?
European Central Bank reference rates, published once each working day. They are a neutral middle rate, which makes them the right starting point for quoting and for working out your bank buying and selling rates by adding its markup.
Why do buying and selling rates differ?
Your bank buys foreign currency from you at the buying rate when your export payment arrives, and sells it to you at the selling rate when you pay for freight or imports. The gap between them is the bank markup and on a large shipment it is real money.
How often does this page update?
The feed refreshes automatically while the page is open. The underlying ECB reference rates are published once per working day, so the value itself changes daily rather than by the second.
