FAQ

Common Questions

What does landed cost mean?
The landed cost represents the total comprehensive expense of buying an item internationally and shipping it to your doorstep. It comprises the purchase price (FOB value), transport logistics (shipping), insurance, import duties, customs broker charges, and national sales taxes (VAT/GST).
What is the difference between FOB and CIF valuation?
FOB (Free on Board) calculates duty solely on the value of the items at the origin port. CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) calculates duty on the sum of the item value, shipping, and insurance. The US uses FOB values, whereas the EU, UK, and Australia use CIF values for duties.
What is the de minimis value threshold?
The de minimis threshold is the minimum transaction value below which imported items are completely exempt from customs duties. For instance, the United States allows duty-free entry for imports valued up to $800. In Europe, the de minimis threshold for duty is €150, although VAT is still collected.
How is import VAT/GST calculated?
In most countries, import sales tax (VAT or GST) is calculated on the total value of the goods, shipping, and insurance, *plus* the amount of customs duties paid. Formula: **VAT = (CIF + Import Duty) × VAT Rate%**.
Are some items exempt from duties?
Yes, items like books, educational documents, and certain medical supplies are subject to 0% duty rates in many jurisdictions. Furthermore, free trade agreements (FTAs) between countries can remove duties for qualified products.
