Landed cost combines more than freight. This calculator provides a transparent scenario model for goods value, freight, insurance, estimated duty, estimated import tax and other entered fees.

How to use this calculator

Enter goods value, freight, insurance, duty rate, tax rate and other landed fees. Choose the currency used consistently across the scenario.

Formula and method

The planning model uses goods plus freight plus insurance as customs value, applies the entered duty rate to that value, then applies the entered tax rate to customs value plus duty before adding other fees.

Worked example

If goods are 10,000, freight is 1,200, insurance is 100 and the entered duty and tax rates are 5 percent and 15 percent, the calculator builds the scenario step by step instead of hiding the assumptions.

What to check before you ship

Customs valuation, tariff classification, trade preferences, exemptions, VAT or sales-tax bases and fees differ by jurisdiction and product. This is not customs, legal or tax advice and should not be used as a declaration.

Why the result matters

Accurate dimensions and weights help with quoting, space planning and avoiding preventable adjustments. Always use the packaged outside dimensions that will actually be tendered for transport, and verify any carrier-specific rules that affect billing or classification.

Common questions

Before you rely on the result

Short answers to the practical questions that most often change shipping calculations.

What does this landed cost include?

The planning model combines goods value, freight, insurance, estimated duty, estimated import tax and other fees entered by the user.

Are customs value and tax bases the same everywhere?

No. Customs valuation, duty and tax rules vary by jurisdiction, product and trade agreement. Treat the output as a scenario, not customs advice.

Do I need an account to use this calculator?

No. CargoToolsHub calculators run in your browser and do not require a signup.

Should I verify the result before booking freight?

Yes. Use the result as a planning aid and verify carrier-specific rules, equipment limits, tariffs or contractual requirements before a critical shipment.
