The unit-cost math
One order total,
one unit cost.
Add the product cost and every known order-level import cost, then divide by the planned quantity.
Import cost per unit(Product + origin + freight + insurance + duty + customs + delivery + other) ÷ quantity
If you do not yet know the duty amount, use the Import Duty Calculator or Landed Cost Calculator first.
When to use this tool
Use it when the costs
are already known.
Use another tool when
You still need to calculate duty from a rate or model the landed-cost components in more detail. Use the Landed Cost Calculator for that workflow.

FAQ.
What should be included in import cost per unit?
Include the purchase cost plus the order-level costs needed to get the goods to your usable destination, such as freight, insurance, duty, customs, delivery and other known charges.
Should selling fees be included?
Usually not if you are measuring sourcing or landed cost. Add marketplace, fulfillment and selling costs later when calculating margin or target selling price.
Should I use ordered quantity or sellable quantity?
Ordered quantity is the standard sourcing view. If a meaningful share will be samples, damaged or otherwise unsellable, using expected sellable quantity gives a more conservative commercial cost per unit.
