About Import Landed Cost Calculator

Landed cost is what the goods really cost in your warehouse: supplier price plus freight and insurance, duty on that combined value, then clearance and inland transport. Pricing off the invoice value alone understates cost badly.

Formula

Landed cost

CIF = FOB + freight + insurance; landed = CIF + duty + local charges

Worked example

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is duty charged on freight too?

Because the customs value is the cost of getting goods to the border, which includes carriage and insurance.

Should landed cost drive selling price?

Yes. Margin computed on invoice value alone silently erases the duty and freight burden.
