Import landed cost is the total cost of bringing goods from an overseas supplier into your warehouse in India. It includes product value, ocean or air freight, marine insurance, basic customs duty, social welfare surcharge, IGST, compensation cess (if any), CHA charges, port and CFS charges, handling, inland transport, warehousing and other local charges.
Landed Cost = Product (INR) + Freight + Insurance + BCD + SWS + IGST + Cess + CHA + Port + CFS + Handling + Inland Transport + Warehousing + Other Charges.
Assessable Value (approx. CIF) = Product (INR) + Freight + Insurance. BCD is charged on assessable value; SWS on BCD; IGST on (assessable + duties).
Product USD 10,000 × ₹83.50 = ₹8,35,000. Ocean freight ₹75,000 + insurance ₹8,000 → CIF ≈ ₹9,18,000. BCD 10% ≈ ₹91,800; SWS 10% of BCD ≈ ₹9,180; IGST 18% on (CIF + BCD + SWS) ≈ ₹1,83,416. Add local charges (e.g. ₹68,000). Grand total landed cost is the sum of all components; divide by units for per-unit cost.
Total cost to get goods into your warehouse: product, freight, insurance, duties, taxes and local charges.
BCD is charged on assessable value. Rates depend on HS code. Always verify the applicable tariff.
IGST is typically levied on (assessable value + BCD + SWS + other duties). Input credit may be available subject to law.
Comparing only FOB price, ignoring local charges, wrong HS code duty, and weak FX assumptions.
All costs to bring goods to your location: product, logistics, duty, tax and clearance charges.
Often CIF value in INR (product + freight + insurance). Customs may assess differently.
Basic Customs Duty under the Customs Tariff based on HS classification.
Typically a percentage of BCD (commonly 10% of BCD where applicable).
Usually on assessable value plus customs duties. Confirm current notifications for your goods.
Registered businesses may claim ITC subject to eligibility; cash flow timing still matters.
Air is faster and costlier; use for high-value or urgent cargo.
LC, TT and negotiation fees add to true import cost.
Preferential rates may apply under FTAs with valid origin proof.
Additional levy on certain goods; not always applicable.
Use HS code, tariff, notifications and a licensed customs broker.
No — it is a planning tool. Final assessment is by Customs.
A weaker INR raises INR cost of the same FC invoice.
If likely, include under other charges for a safer estimate.

Negotiate FOB, consolidate shipments, right-size mode, verify HS code, manage FX.
Not always, but recommended; CIF includes minimum cover from seller.

Calculate the true cost of making your product with this free Manufacturing Cost Calculator. Add raw materials, packaging, labour, electricity, rent, depreciation and other production expenses to calculate your total manufacturing cost, cost per unit, recommended selling price, GST and expected profit.
Ideal for MSMEs, manufacturers, startups, traders and small businesses that want to price products accurately and avoid underpricing.
Manufacturing cost is the total cost required to produce a product. It generally includes raw materials, direct labour and manufacturing overheads such as electricity, factory rent, depreciation, repairs and quality control.
The basic formula is:
Total Manufacturing Cost = Material Cost + Labour Cost + Manufacturing Overheads
To calculate the manufacturing cost per unit:
Cost Per Unit = Total Manufacturing Cost ÷ Production Quantity
Once you know your cost per unit, you can add your desired profit margin and applicable GST to determine a suitable selling price.
This helps manufacturers and MSMEs avoid one of the most common pricing mistakes: calculating the selling price only from raw material cost while ignoring labour and overhead expenses.
Many businesses calculate product prices by looking only at raw material costs. This can result in underpricing and lower-than-expected profits.
This calculator helps you include:
You can also use the What-If Analysis to see how changes in material or labour costs could affect your product profitability.
A manufacturing cost calculator helps businesses calculate the total cost of producing a product by combining material, labour and production overhead costs.
Divide the total manufacturing cost by the number of units produced.
Cost Per Unit = Total Manufacturing Cost ÷ Production Quantity
Start with the manufacturing cost per unit, add your desired profit margin and then add applicable GST if you are quoting a tax-inclusive price.
