Landed Cost Calculator:
Do You Know the Real Costs of Your Imported Goods?

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 all the duties, VAT and excise taxes, and other fees that Customs may asses on the goods.

Our Online Landed Cost Tool helps you determine an accurate estimate of the landed cost of your products by calculating the various import duties, VAT and excise taxes, and other government fees that will be added to your goods before they arrive at their destination.

How It Works

Finally choose which currency you want to use to display the final landed cost and the tax level you wish to use:

  • "All Taxes" include all possible duty rates including any applicable preferential agreement rates;
  • "Minimum Taxes" displays the lowest landed cost scenario; or
  • "Default Taxes" displays only the landed cost results calculated with the default duty rate.

In addition to providing the estimated landed cost of a product from a single source, our Online Landed Cost Tool allows you to display costs comparing up to eight 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.

In addition to displaying the estimated landed cost, the Online Tool will also flag products that might be subject to anti-dumping or countervailing duties.
