Problem-solving export & import tool
Landed Cost Calculator
Estimate the total cost of imported goods before placing an order.
Estimate Import Landed Cost
How it works
Estimated customs value = goods + freight + insurance. Duty and other tax rates are applied to that base, then local charges are added.
Actual customs valuation rules vary by country, HS code, Incoterm and tax regime. Use this as a planning estimate.
Landed Cost Calculator Guide
Estimate the true cost of imported goods after product value, freight, insurance, duty, taxes and other applicable charges.
How to use this tool
- Enter the required values using the same unit, quantity and currency conventions shown by the tool.
- Check the inputs against your commercial or shipment documents before calculating or generating the result.
- Record the assumptions behind the result so the calculation can be reproduced later.
- Verify current rates, tariffs, carrier rules or regulatory requirements with the relevant official source before a binding decision.
Key points for exporters and importers
Landed cost is useful for comparing suppliers and setting an import selling price. Keep product cost, international freight, insurance, customs duty, import taxes, brokerage, port handling and inland delivery as separate components so you can see which assumption drives the final unit cost.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using outdated rates, tariffs or freight assumptions.
- Mixing units, currencies or net and gross weights.
- Treating an estimate as an official customs, tax, carrier or insurance assessment.
- Failing to state the applicable Incoterm, named place or quotation validity when preparing a trade price.
Important note
This tool is intended for planning and calculation support. Confirm transaction-specific customs, tax, legal, insurance and carrier requirements with the appropriate authority, carrier, bank or qualified professional.
