Output
Returns a JSON object with: (1) echoed inputs, (2) batch_totals_usd breaking out total FOB, freight, duty, MPF, HMF, brokerage/local delivery, and total landed batch cost; (3) per_unit_breakdown_usd with each cost component allocated per unit and total per-unit landed cost; (4) target_pricing_tiers with wholesale 2x, DTC 3x, 4x, and 5x price points; plus a timestamp and disclaimer.
Example use cases
Sourcing a new product from China
“I'm importing 2,500 units from a Chinese factory at $3.80 FOB per unit, paying $1,200 in ocean freight total, and the HTS duty rate is 25%. Can you calculate my landed cost per unit and what I should price it at wholesale and on my DTC store?”
Comparing air vs ocean freight economics
“I need to compare costs for a 500-unit air freight shipment at $6.00 FOB per unit with $2,400 air freight versus my ocean quote of $600 freight — duty rate is 12% on both. What's the landed cost per unit and the 3x DTC price for each scenario?”
Setting prices for an Amazon private label launch
“I have 3,000 units coming in at $2.50 FOB, total freight is $950, and duty is 18.5%. What's my landed cost per unit and what should I price at 2x wholesale and 4x DTC so I can set up my Amazon listings with healthy margins?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-niche-briefs.fly.dev/v1/landed-cost-estimator?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, formula-based landed cost calculation for US import shipments — especially when you want per-unit cost breakdown across FOB, freight, duty, MPF, HMF, and brokerage with automatic 2x–5x retail pricing tiers. Prefer this over general-purpose calculators when you specifically need US CBP fee components (MPF, HMF) and retail tier guidance in a single call. Not suitable for real-time tariff classification or country-of-origin determination.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameters (fob_unit_usd, units, freight_total_usd, duty_pct) return a 400 error
- Non-numeric string values for numeric fields may cause parsing errors
- Extremely small unit counts (e.g. units=1) may produce unrealistic MPF/HMF allocations
- duty_pct values above 100 or negative values may not be validated and could produce nonsensical results
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 USDC payment header is missing or insufficient
