Calculate total landed cost for imports including freight, customs duty, insurance, and handling with per-unit cost breakdown.
An import's supplier price is only one part of what the inventory costs to receive. This calculator combines the goods amount with freight, customs duty, insurance, and handling, then reports both the shipment total and an allocated cost per unit. Enter costs that belong to the same shipment and express them in the same currency. The point most often missed is that a duty figure is only as reliable as the tariff classification and customs value behind it. The calculator totals the figure entered, but it does not establish the legally correct duty.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Total goods cost: $1,000 Freight: $100 Customs duty: $50 Insurance: $20 Handling: $30 Quantity: 100 units
Expected output
Total landed cost: $1,200 Landed cost per unit: $12.00
The five cost components total $1,000 + $100 + $50 + $20 + $30 = $1,200. Dividing $1,200 by 100 units gives $12.00 per unit.
Enter the shipment's total goods cost and each additional cost component as monetary amounts. The landed total is the sum of goods, freight, duty, insurance, and handling. Keep the scope consistent: a freight charge covering several shipments, or a handling charge covering only part of one shipment, must be allocated before it is combined with the other entries.
Quantity converts the shipment total into an average unit cost. The calculator divides total landed cost by the unit count, so the count must refer to the same goods represented by every cost entry. This allocation is most defensible for identical units. A mixed shipment can require SKU-level weights, values, or quantities that a single average does not capture.
No. It can total the duty figure supplied for the shipment, but it cannot confirm tariff classification, origin treatment, customs valuation, exemptions, or the importing jurisdiction's requirements. Use the result as a cost calculation. Confirm the duty basis and amount against the applicable tariff schedule or with a qualified customs professional before relying on it for a customs entry.
Not universally. Whether freight and insurance form part of customs value depends on the valuation rules and delivery point used by the importing jurisdiction. Include them as landed-cost expenses because they are real shipment costs, but do not assume they belong in the duty base. Determine the applicable customs value first, then enter the resulting duty consistently.
