Per-unit planning
Turn customs, freight, and tax into a per-unit landed number you can price from.
The landed-cost framing is useful when the tariff line is only part of the conversation. Buyers, ops leads, and finance teams usually need the unit economics, not just the duty amount.
Landed cost calculator
Use this when you need a pricing number that already carries the customs and handling friction. The scenario table is especially useful before new customer quotes or replenishment orders.

Operational readout
Use the per-unit result for
- Margin-floor checks before channel quotes or list-price updates.
- Comparing whether a larger combined shipment lowers the real unit cost after brokerage and admin fees.
- Estimating how much room you have before freight spikes, duty disputes, or FX movement break the deal.
Reading the number
A better landed-cost workflow
Most teams go wrong by stopping at the first clean-looking total. Use the three checks below before you call the number done.
1. Audit the value basis
If the quote is FOB but your model quietly used CIF, or the other way around, the landed number can look precise and still be structurally wrong.
2. Compare a stressed file
If a one-step freight slip or a two-point rate shift breaks the unit economics, the business decision should change before the PO does.
3. Capture the assumptions
Record the preset, rate, threshold mode, and basis used. That keeps Pricing, Ops, and Finance from quoting the same product from different math.
