How to use this tool

A decision, not just an output

Allocate product, freight, duty, insurance, brokerage, and other shipment costs down to each imported unit. Read the output alongside its interpretation, assumptions, limitations, and source. Marketplace rates and external requirements should always be confirmed at the linked official source.

Formula & example

Transparent method

Landed cost = goods value + freight + duty + insurance + brokerage + other shipment costs.

Example: 100 units at $10 plus $200 freight, 5% duty, $20 insurance, and $30 brokerage land at $13 per unit.

Assumptions

  • • Duty is modeled as a percentage of goods value.
  • • Shipment costs are allocated evenly across units.

Limitations

  • • Actual customs valuation can differ by jurisdiction and product.
  • • This is not customs or tax advice.
