Landed cost is not only supplier price times exchange rate. It may include freight, insurance, customs, fees, local transport, and other costs chosen by the business.
Landed cost is not only supplier price times exchange rate. It may include freight, insurance, customs, fees, local transport, and other costs chosen by the business. To explain profitability, retain currency, date, source document, allocation method, and formula version for every component.
Cost allocation to products must be transparent: by quantity, weight, value, volume, or another approved rule. Do not change a rule between shipments without record, or profitability comparisons become arbitrary. Exchange-rate or supplier-invoice differences enter a reconciliation queue rather than automatically disappearing into inventory.
The process produces a management figure and supports data management. Customs classification, taxes, and reporting must be determined with professional parties and official sources, not a generic formula.
