Import costs and landed cost

Five costs added together give you a car's real landed cost — and so your real margin.

For a custom order that's still on its way, the app adds up these costs to work out what the vehicle actually cost you:

Purchase price
Freight / shipping
Customs & duties
Port charges
Other costs

The total is the landed cost — everything this vehicle cost you to get it ready for sale. The estimated margin is the agreed price minus this landed cost, your estimated profit.

Forgetting even one of these costs throws off the margin shown — see A number looks wrong.
