Full landed cost of goods - customs duty, VAT, excise, freight, insurance and other charges.
Provide the product price (FOB or EXW), currency, HS code, quantity, and the country of origin. The calculator looks up the applicable duty rate.
Enter freight charges, insurance, port handling, customs broker fees, inland transport, and any other costs that contribute to getting the goods to your warehouse.
The calculator applies customs duty, import VAT, and any anti-dumping or CBAM charges. It also factors in bank fees, inspection costs, and other overheads you specify.
You get a complete cost breakdown showing exactly how much each component contributes to the total landed cost per unit, helping you set prices and evaluate import profitability.
Many importers underestimate landed cost by forgetting items like customs broker fees, port storage (demurrage), bank transfer fees, inspection costs, and inland transport from the port to the warehouse.
Always break down the landed cost to a per-unit figure. This makes it easy to compare against domestic alternatives, calculate margins, and set pricing — regardless of order quantity.
Run the calculator with different freight rates, order quantities, and exchange rates. A 10% change in the exchange rate can turn a profitable import into a loss-making one.
If you pay suppliers 30–90 days before receiving the goods, the cost of tying up capital (working capital cost) should be factored in. Letters of credit also carry bank charges that affect profitability.
