An international shipment's total cost is determined by adding the price paid by the buyer to the seller, shipping costs, shipment insurance, and any import duties and fees.
A landed cost is the total costs associated with shipping a product. Usually, taxes and fees associated with international shipping are included in the term. To achieve optimal pricing on your products, you should know the landed cost for each different type of product that your business ships to international customers or imports or exports.
The landed cost is a crucial calculation for small business owners. To maximize your profits and maintain competitive prices, you need to know your international shipping costs as early as possible. It's the lowest possible price to sell a product in the U.S. if, for instance, you import a product from Italy. In any case, you will not make any profit at this price. Your imported product should be priced higher than its landed cost if you want to profit.
