Understanding Landed Cost

1. CIF Value

CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) is the base for duty calculation. It's the total value of goods + shipping + insurance at the destination port.

2. Import Duty

A percentage charged on the CIF value. Rates vary by product (HS code), origin, and destination. Trade agreements can reduce or eliminate duties.

3. VAT / GST

Most countries charge VAT or GST on imports, calculated on (CIF + duty). Rates range from 0% (Hong Kong) to 27% (Hungary).

4. Trade Agreements

20+ agreements covered: EU-SADC EPA, USMCA, CPTPP, RCEP, GCC, ASEAN, COMESA, SACU, AfCFTA, and more. With a Certificate of Origin, duties are often zero.

5. De Minimis

A value threshold below which no duty applies. The US is generous at $800, while the EU is only €150. Know your market's threshold.

6. Three Currencies

Results are shown in the destination currency, origin currency, and ZAR — so both buyer and seller see costs in their own currency at a glance.
