Many Amazon sellers, when calculating profits, often only look at the unit price of the first leg of the journey, neglecting hidden costs, which leads to final profits falling short of expectations. Today, Kangsheng Yuntong introduces an essential financial tool for you – the "Landed Cost Calculation Method" – to help you accurately control logistics expenses.
What is landed cost?
It is the total cost of a product from leaving the factory to entering the Amazon FBA warehouse. The formula is as follows:
Landed Cost = Purchase Price + First Leg Freight + Tariffs + Customs Clearance Fee + Last Mile Delivery Fee + Insurance Fee
