The whole cost
Landed cost calculator: goods, freight, duty and tax in one number
Landed cost is what one unit truly costs by the time it is on your shelf: goods, freight, insurance, duty, import tax and fees, divided by the units in the shipment. Run your own shipment below; the math happens right here in your browser and nothing you type leaves the page.

Straight arithmetic on the numbers you entered, computed in your browser. Duty is applied to the goods value and tax to goods plus duty, the most common convention; some destinations tax the freight too, so check your lane's rules before quoting.
The landed cost formula
Landed cost = goods value + freight + insurance + duty + import tax + fees. Each bucket is simple; the discipline is in not skipping any. The supplier invoice covers only the first bucket, and pricing international products off it alone means every duty-heavy SKU quietly loses margin. The blog post the landed cost formula, explained unpacks what belongs in each bucket and what people forget.
The bucket everyone gets wrong is duty
Freight has an invoice. Insurance has a certificate. Duty has a rate that depends entirely on which tariff line your product classifies under, and near-identical codes can sit percentage points apart. Before trusting any landed cost, make sure the code behind the duty rate is right: describe your product to the live classifier and it returns the code, the rationale and the duty rate for your lane, so field 05 above stops being a guess.
From a one-off worksheet to a repeatable process
This page prices one shipment. An importer with a catalog needs the same answer per SKU, per lane, kept current as tariffs change, and defensible when finance or customs asks where a number came from. That is the workspace Tariffwise is building: classification, duty and landed cost with saved history and bulk CSV runs, priced for teams on the planned pricing page.
