Direct answer
Landed cost is goods plus the extra lines you still pay after the Incoterm. This worksheet adds freight, insurance, origin fees, duty, destination handling, and inspection, then divides by units. If the quote is already DDP, do not add duty again.
Key takeaways
- Name the Incoterm and place on the goods line.
- Do not double-count costs already inside DDP or CIF.
- FOB and CIF are sea terms.
- Copy the result or share the filled link.
The tool
Use the worksheet above. Landed cost is how an EXW bargain becomes an expensive arrival.
How to use it
- Write the Incoterm 2020 rule and place that produced the goods number.
- Enter goods as a total for the lot.
- Add only the lines you still pay.
- Divide mentally by sellable units if you already expect DOA. This tool divides by units bought.
The method
total landed = goods + freight + insurance + origin + duty + destination + inspection
per unit = total landed ÷ units
ITA and ICC materials treat Incoterms as a map of tasks, cost, and risk. They do not fill these boxes for you. See Incoterms for importers.
Example
Goods 9,000 on FCA, freight 450, insurance 50, destination 80, inspection 120, fifty units. Landed per unit is total divided by 50. If a second quote is DDP 9,700, do not add the same freight again.
Risk note
A complete landed number still needs a lithium shipper and a payment trigger.

Is this my import duty?
No. You type the duty you already know or were quoted. The page does not look up tariffs.
Can I compare two suppliers here?
Yes, if you recast both onto the same extra lines. Start from the quote comparison guide.
