3 Key Reasons Teams Choose LandedCost Studio Over SimplyDuty 🚪

Stop overpaying for bloated legacy cloud software.

1

Per-Lookup Quotas & $49/mo Subscriptions

Importers pricing 20–50 container SKUs per season shouldn't pay $588/year for a cloud duty widget.

2

Zero CBM Multi-SKU Container Proration

Basic duty calculators only check one HS code at a time and fail to split a $4,200 container bill across 8 mixed SKUs by CBM volume.

3

Supplier & Factory FOB Price Exposure

Uploading commercial invoices to cloud platforms exposes your confidential factory unit costs and supplier relationships.

SimplyDuty Migration & Replacement FAQs for LandedCost Studio ❓

Specific answers for teams replacing SimplyDuty with LandedCost Studio.

How do I calculate true landed cost per unit across multiple SKUs in one container?▼

True landed cost per unit equals FOB Unit Cost + CBM-Prorated Freight per Unit + (FOB × Combined HTS & Section 301 Duty Rate) + FOB-Prorated Customs Brokerage, MPF (0.3464%), and HMF (0.125%). LandedCost Studio computes this automatically for every SKU.

Should ocean freight be allocated by unit count, FOB value, or CBM volume?▼

Ocean container freight (FCL and LCL) is billed by volume displacement (Cubic Meters / CBM), while customs duties and MPF/HMF are billed by FOB value. Allocating freight by unit count distorts margins on bulky items.

How are US Customs MPF and HMF fees calculated on commercial imports?▼

For formal entries (over $2,500), CBP charges a Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) of 0.3464% of FOB value (minimum $31.67, maximum $614.35) plus a 0.125% Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) for ocean shipments.

Does Section 301 tariff stack on top of regular HTS import duty?▼

Yes. If a product has a 5.3% base MFN HTS duty rate and falls under a 25% Section 301 tariff list, the combined ad valorem duty applied to the FOB customs value is 30.3%.

Are my Alibaba supplier names and FOB unit prices uploaded to any server?▼

Never. All commercial invoice parsing, CBM freight proration, and tariff waterfall calculations run 100% locally inside your browser memory with zero network uploads.

How does LandedCost Studio compare to SimplyDuty or Zonos?▼

While SimplyDuty ($49/mo) and Zonos focus on per-lookup API subscriptions, LandedCost Studio is a one-time $19 lifetime buyout built specifically for multi-SKU container freight allocation and FOB-to-DDP unit margin reconciliation.
