How to calculate landed cost

Landed cost is the total cost of getting rubberwood plywood from the mill to your warehouse: product price (FOB) + shipping + insurance + import duty + customs + local delivery. Knowing it is essential for pricing competitively in the Middle East, India, Korea or any market.

The formula

Landed = FOB + Freight + Insurance + Import Duty + Customs + Local Charges. CIF = FOB + Freight + Insurance; most customs offices apply duty on the CIF value.

Compare per CBM, always

Even if a supplier quotes per piece, convert to per-CBM to compare fairly. Container utilization affects freight per CBM — a full 40HC holds roughly 58 m³ of panels. Vietnam rubberwood plywood usually carries 0% anti-dumping duty in major markets, an advantage on a landed-cost basis.
