What is the landed cost?

The landed cost is the total price of a product once it is delivered to the final customer. It takes into account the cost of a product from its manufacture, shipment in a container, to the buyer.

The calculation of the landed cost includes all the specific expenses associated with the shipment of each item, such as:

• original price of the product

• Shipping or transportation costs
  

• Sea freight
  

• Taxes

• Duty

• customs clearance
  

• packing fees

• Management and payments

• Currency exchange (if applicable)

Calculate the landed cost with the sum of all these elements.

Note: The inventory valuation of the products to be affected must be FIFO.

Why is Landed Cost important for your company?

Calculating the landed cost will be an added value for your company for several reasons:

• It will allow you to correctly calculate the profit of each product you ship, thus giving you a clear view of the performance of your business.

• You will make sure to establish the most profitable price for each product. Once you know the real cost of each item, you will be closer to setting the sale price and the maximum discount you can offer.

• You will obtain a clear analysis of your supply chain and all the associated costs, which will allow you to identify savings opportunities.

• It is essential when making accurate financial reports. You will be able to see the value of the assets accurately and correctly visualize the monthly profit of your company.
