Tariff and Landed Cost Calculator

关税与到岸成本计算器

The factory price is not the cost of the product. By the time a unit reaches an Amazon warehouse it has carried freight, duty, additional tariffs, and customs fees. Sellers who plan on the factory price discover the real margin too late. This skill builds the true landed cost.
工厂价并非产品的实际成本。当产品运抵亚马逊仓库时,已经产生了运费、税费、附加关税及报关费。仅以工厂价做规划的卖家往往会太晚才发现真实利润空间。本Skill可计算出真实的到岸成本。

When to use this

使用场景

  • Sourcing an imported product and needing the real per-unit cost.
  • A product's margin came in lower than planned and import costs are suspected.
  • Comparing two sourcing countries or two routes.
  • Quoting a landed cost before committing to a supplier.
  • 采购进口产品,需要了解真实的单位成本。
  • 产品利润低于预期,怀疑是进口成本所致。
  • 对比两个采购国家或两条运输路线。
  • 在确定供应商前,预估到岸成本并报价。

The framework. The Landed Cost Stack

框架:到岸成本构成

Landed cost per unit is the factory price plus six layers. Walk all of them.
Factory price per unit (EXW or FOB)
  plus  Freight           (ocean or air, per unit = shipment freight / units)
  plus  Import duty       (HS code duty rate x customs value)
  plus  Additional tariffs (trade-remedy or country-specific tariffs, if any)
  plus  Customs fees      (entry / processing / harbor or handling fees)
  plus  Insurance         (cargo insurance, small but real)
  plus  Inland and broker (port-to-warehouse trucking, customs broker fee)
  =     Landed cost per unit
This landed cost is the number that feeds every margin calculation. amz-fba-calculator and amz-profit-analyzer both need it. A profit analysis built on the factory price is wrong from the first line.
单位到岸成本为工厂价加上六层附加成本,需逐一核算。
Factory price per unit (EXW or FOB)
  plus  Freight           (ocean or air, per unit = shipment freight / units)
  plus  Import duty       (HS code duty rate x customs value)
  plus  Additional tariffs (trade-remedy or country-specific tariffs, if any)
  plus  Customs fees      (entry / processing / harbor or handling fees)
  plus  Insurance         (cargo insurance, small but real)
  plus  Inland and broker (port-to-warehouse trucking, customs broker fee)
  =     Landed cost per unit
该到岸成本是所有利润计算的核心数据。amz-fba-calculator和amz-profit-analyzer均需以此为输入。基于工厂价的利润分析从一开始就是错误的。

The HS code. the line that decides the duty

HS编码:决定税率的关键

The duty rate is set by the product's HS code (Harmonized System classification). Get the code wrong and the duty is wrong, and a customs misclassification can mean penalties.
  • The HS code is determined by what the product is and what it is made of.
  • A small difference in materials or function can move the product to a different code with a very different duty rate.
  • When the code is uncertain, treat the duty as an estimate, mark it, and recommend confirming the classification with a customs broker before relying on the number.
税率由产品的HS编码(协调制度分类)决定。编码错误会导致税费计算错误,甚至可能因报关分类不当面临处罚。
  • HS编码由产品的属性及材质决定。
  • 材质或功能的细微差异可能使产品归入不同编码,对应税率差异极大。
  • 若编码不确定,需将税费视为预估数值并标记,同时建议在依赖该数值前咨询报关行确认分类。

Additional tariffs

附加关税

Beyond the base duty, some products from some countries carry extra trade-remedy or country-specific tariffs that can be larger than the base duty itself. These change with trade policy. Always check whether the specific product and origin country carry an additional tariff on top of the base rate, and treat policy-dependent rates as estimates.
Note on low-value shipments: the Section 321 / $800 de minimis exemption that once let low-value parcels enter duty-free has been suspended (for China-origin goods first, then broadened across origins), so small shipments that used to clear free can now owe the full duty stack. Confirm the current status and scope before relying on it, this area is policy-dependent and has been in flux.
除基础关税外,部分国家的部分产品需缴纳额外的贸易救济关税或国别特定关税,其金额可能超过基础关税本身。这类关税会随贸易政策变化。务必确认特定产品及原产国是否在基础税率之上需缴纳附加关税,并将受政策影响的税率视为预估数值。
低价值货物说明:曾允许低价值包裹免税入境的Section 321 / 800美元免税额度已暂停(首先针对中国原产商品,后扩大至其他原产国),因此过去可免税清关的小批量货物现在可能需缴纳全额税费。在依赖该政策前请确认当前状态及适用范围,此领域受政策影响较大且处于变动中。

Step by step

操作步骤

  1. Collect inputs. The product and its materials, the origin country, the destination marketplace, the factory price and Incoterm (EXW or FOB), the freight cost and units per shipment, and the HS code if the seller has it.
  2. Classify. Confirm or estimate the HS code from the product and materials. If estimated, flag it and recommend a broker confirmation.
  3. Find the base duty rate for that HS code and route.
  4. Check for additional tariffs specific to the product and origin country. Mark any policy-dependent rate as an estimate.
  5. Build the stack. Factory price, freight per unit, duty, additional tariffs, customs fees, insurance, inland and broker. Compute landed cost per unit.
  6. Hand off the number. State clearly that this landed cost is the input to amz-fba-calculator and amz-profit-analyzer.
  7. Run the quality check, then deliver.
  1. 收集输入信息:产品及其材质、原产国、目标市场、工厂价及国际贸易术语(EXW或FOB)、运费及每批货物的单位数量,若卖家已有HS编码也需收集。
  2. 分类确认:根据产品及材质确认或预估HS编码。若为预估,需标记并建议咨询报关行确认。
  3. 查询基础税率:获取对应HS编码及运输路线的基础税率。
  4. 检查附加关税:确认特定产品及原产国是否需缴纳附加关税。将受政策影响的税率标记为预估数值。
  5. 构建成本构成:汇总工厂价、单位运费、税费、附加关税、报关费、保险费、内陆运输及报关行费用,计算单位到岸成本。
  6. 输出结果:明确说明该到岸成本需作为amz-fba-calculator和amz-profit-analyzer的输入数据。
  7. 质量检查,然后交付结果。

Worked example

示例演示

A seller imports a stainless kitchen tool. Factory price 4.00 USD FOB, ocean freight working out to 0.55 per unit.
HS code estimated from the product and material, flagged for broker confirmation. Base duty rate applied to the customs value adds about 0.50. The seller checks and the product and origin country also carry an additional tariff, which is policy- dependent and adds a further amount, marked as an estimate. Customs fees, insurance, and inland trucking plus the broker fee add roughly another 0.45 per unit.
Landed cost per unit lands well above the 4.00 factory price. The seller had been modeling margin on 4.00. the real cost input is the landed figure, and that is what goes into the FBA and profit calculations.
某卖家进口一款不锈钢厨房工具。工厂价为FOB 4.00美元,海运运费分摊至单位产品为0.55美元。
根据产品及材质预估HS编码,并标记需咨询报关行确认。基础税率按报关价值计算约为0.50美元。卖家确认后发现,该产品及原产国还需缴纳附加关税(受政策影响),金额另行计算并标记为预估数值。报关费、保险费、内陆运输及报关行费用总计约为0.45美元/单位。
单位到岸成本远高于4.00美元的工厂价。卖家此前以4.00美元为基础计算利润,但实际成本输入应为到岸成本,该数值需用于FBA及利润计算。

Quality check

质量检查

  • All six layers added to the factory price are included.
  • The duty rate is tied to an HS code, and an uncertain code is flagged with a recommendation to confirm with a broker.
  • Additional or trade-remedy tariffs are checked, not just the base duty.
  • Policy-dependent rates are marked as estimates with a warning symbol.
  • The output states that the landed cost is the input for the FBA and profit skills.
  • 已将工厂价之外的六层附加成本全部纳入计算。
  • 税率与HS编码绑定,若编码不确定则标记并建议咨询报关行确认。
  • 已检查附加关税或贸易救济关税,而非仅计算基础关税。
  • 受政策影响的税率已标记为预估数值并附警示标识。
  • 输出结果中说明到岸成本需作为FBA及利润Skill的输入数据。

Common mistakes

常见误区

  • Planning on the factory price. The single most common import-cost mistake.
  • Guessing the HS code. A wrong classification means a wrong duty and possible customs penalties.
  • Missing additional tariffs. Trade-remedy tariffs can exceed the base duty and are easy to overlook.
  • Forgetting the small lines. Customs fees, insurance, broker, and inland trucking are individually small and collectively significant.
  • Stale rates. Tariff policy changes. a rate from last year may no longer hold.
This skill is general guidance, not customs advice. confirm classifications and rates with a licensed customs broker before committing.

  • 仅以工厂价做规划:这是进口成本计算中最常见的错误。
  • 猜测HS编码:分类错误会导致税费计算错误,甚至可能面临报关处罚。
  • 遗漏附加关税:贸易救济关税可能超过基础关税,且容易被忽略。
  • 忽略小额费用:报关费、保险费、报关行费用及内陆运输费用单独看金额不大,但总和不容忽视。
  • 使用过期税率:关税政策会变化,去年的税率可能已不再适用。
本Skill仅为通用指导,而非报关建议。在做出决策前,请与持牌报关行确认分类及税率。
