Questions about the numbers
- How is landed cost calculated?
- FOB price × quantity, plus ocean freight and insurance gives the CIF value. Import duty is charged on CIF; excise (where it exists) on CIF plus duty; VAT on everything above. Port handling, broker fees and inland transport are added last. Divided by the number of units, that is your landed cost per bike.
- Are the duty and VAT rates accurate?
- They are planning defaults we review periodically, not a ruling. Rates depend on the exact HS subheading, displacement, whether the bike is assembled or a kit, and trade-agreement eligibility. Every field is editable — put in the figure your customs broker gives you.
- Why does freight per bike look high?
- Because you are shipping one model in a container that is not full. A real mixed container fills the rest of the space with other models and a parts kit, so the same freight is spread over more units. Use the container estimator to plan the whole box.
- Is VAT a cost?
- For a VAT-registered dealer, import VAT is usually recoverable against the VAT you charge on sales, so the retail helper computes margin on the ex-VAT landed cost. If you are not registered, treat the VAT-inclusive figure as your cost.
