What Is a Landed Cost Calculator?
What is Landed Cost?
Landed cost is the total cost of getting goods from the seller to your warehouse, not just the product price.
It includes:
- Product value
- Freight & logistics costs
- Customs duty
- VAT / GST
- Route and port impact
Many businesses only look at the invoice price and that's where costly mistakes happen.
Our landed cost calculator gives you one clear number that reflects the landed cost of trade.
