Landed cost

ES · EN

The true total cost of a product delivered to its destination: the goods plus freight, insurance, duties, taxes, port charges and fees.

The FOB price is never the price. Landed cost is the only number you can compare across suppliers in different countries, because it counts everything to the door: goods, ocean freight, insurance, customs duty, import taxes, terminal and broker fees. A quote that does not show its landed cost is hiding half the math.
