Why Most Importers Underestimate Their Costs

Most importers calculate: Supplier price + freight = landed cost. That's wrong by 15–30%.

The true landed cost includes import duty (0–45% depending on product and destination), VAT or GST on the full CIF value, customs clearance fees, insurance, and the hidden cost of currency conversion. A shipment that looks profitable at the supplier quote stage can be loss-making by the time it reaches your warehouse.

Our Landed Cost Calculator adds all of these. Our FX Risk Modeller shows you what happens to your margin if the exchange rate moves 5%, 10%, or 20% against you — before you commit to a large purchase order.

Sea freight (LCL)£380
Import duty (12% on CIF)£384
UK VAT (20% on CIF + duty)£713
Customs clearance£25
Insurance (0.5%)£16
True landed cost£4,318

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these tools really free?

Yes — completely free, no sign-up required. You can use them as many times as you like. They are powered by AskBiz, a business intelligence platform for SME founders. If you find them useful, there's a link to learn more about AskBiz at the bottom.

How accurate are the duty rates?

Duty rates are sourced from the UK Global Tariff, US HTS, and EU Combined Nomenclature, updated quarterly. They are indicative — always verify with a customs broker or the official tariff database before making a significant import decision. Rates can change with trade agreements and budget announcements.

What is a landed cost?

Landed cost is the total cost of getting a product from your supplier to your warehouse, including supplier price, international freight, import duty, VAT/GST, customs clearance, insurance, and currency conversion. Many importers underestimate their true cost by 15–30% by ignoring one or more of these elements.

What is FX risk for importers?

If you price your products in GBP but pay your suppliers in USD or CNY, a change in the exchange rate changes your effective cost — even if the supplier price stays the same. A 10% GBP depreciation against USD means your USD-priced goods cost 10% more in GBP. The FX Risk Modeller shows you exactly how much margin you lose at different exchange rate levels.

What is an HS code?

An HS (Harmonised System) code is a 6-digit number used by customs authorities worldwide to classify traded goods. Your HS code determines your import duty rate. The Landed Cost Calculator includes the most common categories — if you need a specific code, the UK Trade Tariff (gov.uk/trade-tariff) is the official reference.

Can I use these for my business planning?

Yes — these tools are designed for business planning. Use the Landed Cost Calculator to set accurate product pricing and the FX Risk Modeller to stress-test your margins before a large purchase order. For deeper analysis connected to your live sales data, AskBiz's full platform goes significantly further.
