Landed Cost & Import Duties: Incoterms, Tariffs, VAT & True Unit Cost

What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

• Add the costs Larkfield still pays to four supplier quotes on different Incoterms, compare the delivered costs and find the cheapest supplier.
• Build the customs value of five shipments, then calculate the duty on a CIF basis and on an FOB basis and see the difference.
• Look up the duty rates of six invoice lines by HS code, calculate ad valorem, specific and compound duty, and work out the shipment's effective duty rate.
• Calculate the import VAT on five shipments, the cash Larkfield must pay at the border and what it costs to finance that VAT until it is reclaimed.
• Split one container's freight across six SKUs by weight, by value and by volume, and chart how much the method changes each SKU's share.
• Convert five foreign-currency purchase orders to USD, add a budget buffer, calculate what was actually paid with a deposit and a balance, and flag the orders where the buffer was not enough.
• Build the landed cost per unit for six SKUs, compare the margin on FOB cost with the true margin on landed cost, find the weakest SKU and chart the gap.
• Compare the landed cost of one product from three origins today and under a selectable tariff scenario, and find which origin wins.
