Hey guys I am developing a site "Online Shopping with multilevel marketing". In this site a seller can sell their items to all over the world. Now what my query is :

1- How could I know what are the shipping charges for the various country on different items. Suppose I want to purchase a TV from US seller (weight - 3KG, xyz height,width) & I lived in France. Now Its shipping charge for this item is $45 (as per item category, its weight, dimension ). But when an Indian guy want to purchase same Item then the Shipping charge would be $57.

So I want to know from you guys is there any way to know the shipping charges for the various country. or if there any standard API for calculating this.

Actually I am confusing now how can i do it. If anybody have done this before kindly share to me.

You will have to integrate the shipping APIs into the website. The shipping company will have diffrent charges for each country and can provide you the details by calling the APIs.
