SHIPTALLY / TOOL 01

UK landed cost & import duty

Build a shipment line by line. Allocate shared freight and insurance, apply the rate for each commodity line, separate recoverable VAT from permanent cost and see the landed cost per unit.

Why line by line?

A shipment can contain goods with different commodity codes, duty rates and VAT treatment. One blended percentage can hide the line that is actually costing you money.
