Landed Cost Calculator — true unit economics before you quote
Landed cost = goods value + international freight + all duties and fees, divided by units for the per-unit figure. MPF is charged once per entry (FY2026: 0.3464% of declared value, $33.58–$651.50), so consolidating SKUs on one entry lowers unit cost; suggested price = unit landed cost ÷ (1 − target margin). Data as of 2026-08-31 (ruleset v0.2.0).
Landed cost = goods value + freight + duties & fees. This tool computes the U.S. import stack layer by layer, spreads it over your units, and back-solves a suggested price from your target margin (excluding channel costs) — so you know your floor before quoting.

FAQ
How is per-unit landed cost computed?
(Value + freight + all duties & fees) ÷ units. Note MPF is charged once per entry — consolidating SKUs on one entry lowers per-unit cost.
What's behind the suggested price?
Suggested price = unit landed cost ÷ (1 − target margin). It excludes channel commissions, warehousing and last-mile costs — a quick pre-quote check only.
What is the landed cost formula?
The standard formula: landed cost = goods value + international freight + insurance + all import duties and fees (MFN, 301/232 layers, MPF/HMF) + brokerage and handling; divide by units for per-unit landed cost. This tool computes the duty stack — add insurance and brokerage into the “Int'l freight” field to include them.
What does landed cost include — and what doesn't it?
It includes everything needed to get goods to your door: product cost, freight, insurance, duties, fees and brokerage. It excludes downstream selling costs — marketplace commissions, FBA/warehouse fees and last-mile delivery — which the suggested-price back-solve also leaves out.
