Landed-cost calculator
What will a piece cost at my warehouse door?
Supplier FOB prices leave out the three things that decide your margin: freight, duty and the agent fee. This puts them side by side so you can compare origins honestly.
ESTIMATED LANDED COST PER PIECE · UNITED KINGDOM: $3.65. About $3.65 per piece before import VAT/GST — $3.25 of that is the factory, $0.00 is duty (Bangladesh enters United Kingdom duty-free). For 1,000 pieces the programme lands at about $3,645.

How it works
- 1Pick the product, quantity per style, number of styles and where it ships. Fabric, port and incoterm refine the estimate.
- 2The server takes the FOB band for your quantity tier, adds freight for the mode you chose, applies the duty rate for destination × HS chapter 61 (knit) or 62 (woven) and adds our service fee.
- 3Import VAT or GST is shown on its own line because most registered importers recover it. The result is a range, not a quote.
- 4Switch on the comparison to see China, Vietnam and India on the same spec with their own duty and an indicative FOB differential.
Questions people ask here
Is this a quote?
No. It is the mid-point of our FOB band plus current freight and duty. A quote is built from your spec with three written factory prices and is usually inside this range.
Why is duty zero for most countries?
Bangladesh is a least-developed country, so the EU (EBA), UK (DCTS), Japan, Canada and Australia admit its garments duty-free when rules of origin are met. The US does not have an LDC scheme for apparel.
Does the service fee change?
From 5% on programmes above $100k, 6% as standard. It covers development, factory management, inline QC coordination and documents. Third-party final inspection is billed at cost.
