How landed cost is calculated
Goods value = unit price × quantity × FX rate. Duty = the selected goods-value or CIF basis × duty rate. Total landed cost = goods value + duty + freight + insurance + port and handling + broker fee + domestic transport + other charges. Cost per unit = total landed cost ÷ quantity.
Choose the duty basis required for your scenario. Customs valuation and tax treatment vary by destination, product and transaction, so confirm the rule before committing to a price.

Landed cost questions
Should duty use goods value or CIF?
The customs value depends on the destination rules and transaction. This calculator lets you use goods value or CIF, which adds freight and insurance to goods value before duty is calculated. Confirm the correct basis with your trade adviser.
Does this calculator determine the correct HS code?
No. The HS code field is a reference only. Product classification can change the duty rate and should be confirmed by the importer, customs broker or qualified adviser.
How should teams use the result?
Use the result to compare suppliers, origins, routes and selling-price assumptions. For recurring imports, connect current tariffs, freight and supplier data so changes are monitored rather than entered manually.
