Quoted Landed Cost
Providing a “landed cost” to consumers as a part of the checkout experience ensures the full cost of purchase is visible before the purchase is completed – without it the risk of dissatisfied customers and returned shipments increases dramatically.
Calculating accurate Landed Cost is hugely complex with each country setting their own levels on the value of goods that can be imported before Taxes and Duties are payable and each country then applies their own rules for the level of tax and duty on different types of goods.
The landed cost API removes the complexity and allows the retailer to ensure full visibility of the end-to-end costs, helping ensure the best possible consumer experience both in the check-out and during the delivery process.
