Landed Cost Calculator (2026)
Calculate total landed cost for cross-border commercial shipments. Itemize FOB product value, ocean/air freight, insurance, statutory customs duty, US MPF ($32.71 min / $634.62 max), HMF, and destination VAT/GST.
What is Landed Cost and Why is it Critical for Importers?
Landed cost represents the total, comprehensive expense of placing a product in a customer's hands or warehouse. Relying solely on the supplier's FOB invoice price leads to severe profit margin erosion. Customs duties, international freight, port processing fees, marine insurance, and import VAT frequently add between 15% to 45% on top of the original manufacturing cost.
Landed Cost Formula & Itemized Breakdown
The mathematical formula for calculating total landed cost is:
Total Landed Cost = FOB Product Value + International Freight + Marine Insurance + Customs Duties + Entry Processing Fees (MPF/HMF) + Import VAT/GST
