A realistic landed-cost estimate is the difference between a profitable import and a surprise loss.
Start with the product cost per unit and multiply by quantity. Then add freight (air or sea), export handling, insurance, customs duty and taxes, inspection fees, port handling, and final-mile delivery to your city.
Many first-time importers only budget for the product and freight, then get caught out by duty and local charges. Use our CBM and MOQ calculators to model volume and per-unit cost, and always keep a 20-30% buffer for exchange-rate movement and unforeseen fees.
