CIF to landed cost
CIF is not always
your final cost.
A CIF quote generally includes the seller's contracted carriage and specified insurance to the named destination port, but import duty, import clearance, destination handling and inland delivery may still be buyer costs.

CIF landed cost
FAQ.
Does CIF mean all import costs are paid?
No. CIF normally covers contracted carriage and specified insurance to the named destination port, but import duty, clearance, destination charges and inland delivery may still remain with the buyer.
Why does this calculator still ask for duty and local costs?
Because those charges are often outside the CIF supplier price and can materially change the final landed cost per unit.
Can CIF and DDP prices be compared directly?
Not safely without checking scope. DDP generally includes more delivery and import-side obligations, so normalize both quotes to the same final delivery point first.
