How to Calculate the Landed Cost of Imported Goods

Businesses must have a good understanding of what the landed cost of imported products will be in advance so that they can make smart decisions for their business. If a business is planning to import products and on-sell them in their market, then they must have a good idea of what the actual final landed cost is for each item.

Understanding the landed cost of imported products allows business to plan how much capital will have to be invested to purchase products and get them delivered through to location. On top of that, it also helps businesses to plan their sell prices and profit figures that will eventuate when the products are sold.

If businesses do not take the time to understand their landed cost, they could be faced with unexpected fees and charges which could make importing the products nonviable. Calculating the landed cost requires an understanding of some key costs and correctly applying them to each product to get the final landed cost per item.
