The Lowest Supplier Price May Cost You More.
One supplier offers a better price. Another offers lower shipping costs. A third ships from a country where preferential duty rates may be available.
Which option actually gives your business the best value?
The supplier’s quote is only the beginning. Transportation, insurance, import duties, taxes and government fees can change the calculation—and turn an attractive purchase into a disappointing margin.
Shipping Solutions Landed Cost Calculator helps you estimate the cost of getting goods to their destination and compare sourcing options before you commit.
Give purchasing, sales and finance a clearer basis for decisions, with less time spent assembling estimates manually.
Are You Comparing the Complete Cost?
Take a moment to consider:
- Do you compare suppliers using delivered costs or just product prices?
- Are duties, taxes and government fees included in your estimates?
- Can you quickly compare sourcing options across countries?
- Are you exploring potential savings under free trade agreements?
- Could costs you’ve overlooked reduce your expected margin?
If the answers depend on spreadsheet guesswork or last-minute research, give your team a better way to evaluate the numbers.
How Shipping Solutions Helps
- Estimate more of the cost. Calculate import duties, VAT, excise taxes and other government fees alongside the shipment costs you enter.
- Compare sourcing options. Evaluate up to five source countries in one calculation.
- Explore potential duty savings. Compare standard rates with preferential rates where goods qualify under a free trade agreement.
- Spot costs that need further review. Flag products that may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duties.
- Keep your calculations accessible. Retrieve previous results through the software’s audit trail.
Use the estimates to evaluate suppliers, prepare customer quotes and plan margins with a clearer understanding of the costs involved.
