About this data

  • A sourcing-comparison indicator, not a customs quote. Duty and international freight are added over customs value; duty is not compounded onto freight. Lanes are ranked by modeled landed customs unit value only when at least two have their own reported customs unit value, duty, and freight. Missing or suppressed quantity data remains unknown. FX is a direction, not a recompute. Confirm classification and entry costs with a licensed broker.

Cadence and source

  • Monthly, refreshed automatically as USITC posts new customs data
  • Duty and freight from USITC DataWeb; FX drift from Federal Reserve H.10. A sourcing indicator, not a customs quote. Per-family CSVs at /landed-cost/<family>.
