Duty is charged on your customs value (CIF or FOB, see above); import VAT/GST is charged on that value plus duty. Some countries use a different base, so check how your customs authority calculates it.

How to read this

Landed cost per unit is what it costs you, delivered, before you sell anything.
Net margin already takes out your selling costs, so it is closer to what you actually keep.
If the margin goes red, the order does not work at that selling price. Raise the price, cut the freight, or order more.
Always run it again after you get a real freight quote, because freight moves.

This is an educational estimate, not financial, legal or customs advice. Duty rates, VAT or GST rates, exchange rates and freight costs all change, so confirm the current figures with your customs authority, your broker or your bank before you commit money.
