Landed Cost Calculator
Do You Know the Real Costs of Your Imported Goods?
Why Do You Need the Landed Cost Calculator?
It’s easier now than ever to locate products you need from around the world. But just because you’ve found a lower price for a product doesn’t mean it’s less expensive once you’ve paid to import it into your own country. In addition to the price of a product, you must factor in transportation costs, insurance charges, and fees that Customs may assess on the goods.
Our Landed Cost Calculator helps you determine an accurate estimate of the total cost, or landed cost, of your products by calculating the various import duties, VAT and excise taxes, and other government fees. It will also flag products that might be subject to anti-dumping or countervailing duties.
In addition to providing the estimated landed cost of a product from a single source, the Landed Cost Calculator helps you compare up to five different country source combinations. For example, you can easily compare the costs of a product sourced domestically against the cost of importing that same product from China or Mexico, so you can make the right decision every time.
