Accuracy

The real cost of getting checkout wrong

Business Impact

The hidden costs of a
broken checkout experience

Flat-rate duty estimates, outdated tax tables, and third-party calculators often miss key customs related fees specific to import countries, carriers and commodities, leaving you to:

Absorb unexpected charges

Manage margin hits

Soothe angry customers that receive additional bills

And when customs rejects a shipment because of misclassification, you're stuck with delays, fines, and a damaged reputation.

Powerful Engine

FlavorCloud’s landed cost engine
fixes this at the root

For all DDP (deliver duty paid) shipments, FlavorCloud's landed cost engine provides you with the best tool to:

Classify shipments dynamically

Calculate duties, tariffs, taxes and all customs related fees in real time

Build landed costs into product pricing

This allows you to provide a seamless experience showing your customers exactly what they owe—before they click “buy.”

Testimonial

No Surprises, Better Margins

"Other competitors only offer estimates, which means we must deal with paying the difference at some point in the journey. This makes it hard to accurately predict costs and creates a negative experience for the buyer. FlavorCloud’s guarantees at checkout make a big difference."

Helpful Info

Frequently asked questions

What is landed cost, and why does it matter at checkout?

How accurate are FlavorCloud’s landed cost calculations?

What’s the difference in landed cost between DDU and DDP shipments?

With DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), all duties, taxes, and customs fees are calculated and paid upfront—so the customer sees the total cost at checkout and won’t face surprise charges. With DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), duties and taxes are collected at the border, often leading to delays, extra customs related fees, and a poor customer experience. FlavorCloud guarantees DDP pricing, so you stay in control and your customers get a smooth, fully transparent delivery.
