About the Landed Cost Calculator

Landed Cost Calculator converts a shipment's supplier value, international freight, insurance, customs duty and destination charges into cost per ordered unit and cost per sellable unit.

Choose whether the entered duty rate applies to goods value only or a goods-plus-freight-and-insurance planning base. Add clearance, domestic transport, inspection, shipment packaging and other costs.

Damaged or unsellable units redistribute the complete shipment cost across the remaining sellable units. Customs valuation, recoverable import tax and duty rules vary by jurisdiction and product, so verify the selected base and rate.
