עלות נחיתה בייבוא מסין — חישוב מדויק
מדריך מפורט לחישוב עלות נחיתה: FOB, הובלה, מכס, ביטוח ואחסנה
Importing from China is one of the most popular ways to profit in eCommerce. But many importers make the same mistake — they price based on supplier cost without calculating Landed Cost. The result? Significantly lower profits than planned.
What Is Landed Cost?
Landed cost is the true price of a product arriving at your warehouse. It includes not just the supplier price, but also international shipping, customs duties, import VAT, insurance, and transportation from port to warehouse.
- FOB price — the price at the factory gate in China
- Sea or air freight — the difference can be 5x
- Customs duties — 0% to 25% depending on product classification
- Import VAT — 17% on value + duties
- Port to warehouse transport + insurance
Rule of thumb: Landed cost is typically 30%-70% higher than the FOB price. Never price based on FOB alone!

- Per-unit cost calculation in local currency and source currency
