How to use Total Landed Cost& Customs Duty Calculator

  1. Enter Ex-works / FOB unit price ($) and adjust the options as needed.
  2. Run the tool and inspect its results, evidence and limitations.
  3. Copy or download the result, then verify it against the actual website, source data or business records.

Try a concrete example

For $28.5 FOB unit price, 500 pcs ($14,250 cargo), $1800 ocean freight, 0.3% insurance, 6.5% standard duty, and $1200 port/drayage: unit landed cost is $36.63 (+28.53% markup). Total landed outlay is $18,315.65. At 35% target margin, minimum wholesale price is $56.35 with $19.72 net unit margin contribution.

How to interpret results

Total landed cost is the financial lifeblood of international commerce. Calculating margins purely from ex-works FOB prices leads to cash-flow deficits on heavy or tariffed goods. Duty valuation rules (CIF vs FOB) substantially alter tax exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Why do US and European customs differ significantly on duty valuation (CIF vs FOB)?

Most WTO members (EU, UK, Australia, Japan) assess duty on CIF value (Cost, Insurance, Freight included). US Customs (CBP) generally assesses ad valorem duty on the port-of-origin FOB value, excluding international ocean freight and insurance.

How severely do anti-dumping duties impact landed cost?

AD/CVD tariffs and Section 301 duties frequently reach 25% to 150%+. For steel, aluminum, solar panels or mechanical components, failing to verify punitive duties beforehand can trigger five-figure surprise assessments and cargo abandonment.

Why must unit landed cost account for terminal handling (THC) and inland drayage?

Port-to-port ocean freight leaves cargo at the terminal. Terminal handling charges (THC), documentation fees, demurrage and container drayage to the warehouse regularly total 30% to 50% of the entire freight bill.

What is the typical markup range between ex-factory price and landed cost?

Compact electronics with high value-to-cube ratios see landed markups of 8% to 15%. Volumetric industrial parts, furniture, hardware and plastics frequently see markups of 35% to 75%+ over FOB.

landed cost and customs duty import profit calculator practical guide and common questions

What does a landed cost and customs duty import profit calculator do?

Total landed cost applies a comprehensive end-to-end supply chain cost aggregation model, encompassing ex-factory FOB product value, ocean/air shipping freight, marine insurance, destination customs duty (including Section 301 / anti-dumping tariffs), destination port handling charges (THC/DOC), customs brokerage fees and inland container drayage.

Who is this for, and when is it useful?

International trade import/export managers, cross-border ecommerce procurement directors, freight forwarders and financial quoting analysts estimating CIF/DDP total import cost.

How do I use this landed cost and customs duty import profit calculator?

Enter unit FOB purchase price and batch quantity, factoring in international ocean/air freight, marine cargo insurance, destination customs duty (plus section 301 / anti-dumping tariffs), port handling charges (THC/DOC), customs clearance and inland drayage to compute total and unit landed cost, markup percentage and breakeven target selling price.

How should I interpret the results?

Valuation methodologies vary critically by destination: the EU, UK and most WTO nations calculate duty ad valorem on full CIF landed values, whereas US Customs (CBP) calculates duty on FOB port-of-origin values. Calculating true unit landed cost prevents margin compression and negative cash-flow traps on high-cube freight.

Where is the work performed, and which services receive data?

FOB unit prices, ocean freight rates, customs duties and profit margins calculate locally in your browser. Sensitive commercial costs and trade partner data are never transmitted externally.
