China import cost tool

China Landed Cost Calculator for Imports

Estimate the total cost of buying from a Chinese supplier before you send a deposit. Compare FOB and EXW quotes, add freight, duty, customs fees, and see which costs may still be missing.

Verify a supplier before payment Review contract terms

Use this when you have

A supplier quote, proforma invoice, or Alibaba price that does not show total import cost.
An EXW or FOB offer and you need to know what changes before the goods arrive.
A shipping estimate from China to the US and want to connect it back to unit cost.
A deposit decision coming up and missing cost items still feel unclear.

Estimate your landed cost

Use this as a buyer-side checklist, not a carrier quote. Real freight, duty, and local charges should be confirmed before payment.

Supplier quote looks incomplete?

A landed cost estimate is only useful if the supplier quote is clear. Check company identity, payment account, Incoterms, and missing charges before deposit.

Start supplier verification

FOB or EXW terms are unclear?

If the contract or proforma invoice does not say who handles pickup, export clearance, freight, or risk transfer, review the terms before money moves.

Still choosing suppliers?

If you have not chosen a factory yet, start with a buyer-side shortlist instead of comparing weak or incomplete quotes.
